PapaG Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Scorching take: hollow titles! ------ Going back longer than that, I’d point to any number of pre-BCS seasons where we had undefeated split national champions, like Miami and Washington in 1991 and Nebraska and Michigan in ’97. In both cases those teams so clearly separated themselves that pollsters couldn’t decide which one was best. But of course, that’d be like the Cavs and Warriors making it to the Finals only to play someone other than each other. Which kind of puts in perspective just how weird college football was prior to 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 What has saved ucla, I guess, is that we've never really been truly horrible. A couple poor years, plenty of average, and a few good years. At this point, the AD is all in on academic standing and making money. The Donald Sterling AD where performance is secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Absolutely. Both their location and the location of all of the talent coming in. With that being said, the money doesn't go as far for coaches so getting good help is a disadvantage. How far do coaches drive to work at most of the other schools in the PAC-12? 10 minutes? There are inherent advantages and disadvantages to most schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtd Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 UCLA has ZERO place that high. 5 losing seasons in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It's a historical ranking, not a last 10 years ranking. Our underachieving didnt hurt as bad during the Donahue years. THey are the most likely team off this list in the next go-around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ucla hasn't done anything since 1998, that's 19 years not 10. If the Bruins AD were even half way serious about football, they would fire Mora and make a run at a coach like Brett Bielema. Who's a proven winner, and has shown he's willing to jump jobs for more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win2bfree Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 - I don't think UCLA (or A&M or Auburn) will ever fall below the Baron level due to location and being rivaled off with a teams who have permanent King status. - Alabama was a King on the first edition in 2007 even though they did not do much in the 15 year pre-Saban era. - Miami is/should be on the chopping block for 2022 edition. They haven't done squat since joining the ACC. Probably need 1 playoff appearance and 3-4 other 10+ wins season. - From an on the field perspective, BYU shouldn't be on if Boise St isn't. - Stanford if they win 1 title should be Kings as they have many advantages that other's can't match. - UW fell from Barons in the 2007 list to Knights in the 2012 list. Basically Oregon took their spot (it burns). Coach Petersen has them on track to regain Baron status in the next edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
