Not sure about this post.
Say this much, not a SINGLE team in the SEC is prominent at this point other than GEORGIA BULLDOGs! Period, the end.
I would have placed Bama as a close 2nd but that program is hitting the reset button with an entire new staff so they have to prove it.
Outside of that, yes schools like Auburn, LSU, Florida and Tenn can claim prominence by looking long into the past. Like a very LONG extension into the past including the newbies, OU and Texas. LSU is the only team in recent years that has any room to talk about prominence out of this 2nd tier group.
But again, that is people focused on the glory days when in reality all these programs, other than GA, are all fighting for prominence. So that is the reality of the world in present times.
And frankly, I personally dont live in the past or dwell in the past. If we are all being honest, we all know this is all that matters. What? Trying to become one of the top prominent SEC schools to make the playoffs in the 2024-2025 season.
So sorry but any school in the SEC this season can fall from prominence or regain it or even begin to built that legacy. So frick you all as little common sense....

NIL and the portal will completely reduce the sport to the biggest booster bank accounts.
Winning in college football football has been about money for a long time now. Money and landing the right coach - primarily because of his recruiting ability. The players might move around a bit now but the same teams that have been funding $20,000,000 staffs and ridiculous facility upgrades are still going to continue to win.
The only thing NIL and the portal will do is hurt the feelings of fans who want Johnny Heisman to love their school as much as they do. Even though he didn’t love you before, the illusion was a little easier to maintain.

Hey Whiskey.... to be talking smack against a team (UF) that has owned your team for some time now is a dumb move, even for a Tenny fan.

"You conveniently forgot to mention Tennessee being among those who might not be coming back to prominence anytime soon."
It's a good thing Georgia is CURRENTLY good at football because you pretty much suck at everything else. And the Vols are improving as a football program. You Georgia fans have Tennessee living in your minds rent free 100 percent of the time. Shouldn't you be concerned about your biggest rival Auburn? lol

Winning a division 18 years ago makes Tennessee relevant? Interesting.

Tennessee is not relevant. Win the East for the first time in 18 years and get back to me.

Why has nothing been done about it? Might you all be scared to do anything about it?

Auburn and Florida (also Tennessee) do not belong in the same sentence with programs like Texas A@M and Mississippi State.

I cancelled my season tickets for football 2 years ago but too many people aren’t and the dumbass Bull Gator boosters are still in love with Stricklin and Napier because they kiss their asses and massage there egos

Why?
Because they have money?
Because they can recruit?
Because they can pay players?
Newsflash this already happens and they lose to Kansas and Maryland.
quote:Uh...
Texas problem is that their students and alumns are like Hollywood fans. They only watch games for the social aspects of gathering. They will leave and not show up when their teams lose or have a mediocre season.

Are we supposed to be scared of Mississippi State and the team that's App State's bitch?

Auburn is in a deeper hole than they have ever been in during the modern era. It's very unfortunate that it happened right as we can finally do what our rivals have been doing for decades without fear of the NCAA. However, if we keep recruiting like we are, we will be back to competing for the SEC. 3-4 more years.
The others are in very bad situations. Florida's admin seems like a disaster. Miss St is Miss St. Programs of their size will struggle in the new world of CFB. Texas AM has no excuse with their bankroll but they've struggled to turn that into success in the past, so who knows with them.

That’s one hell of a ratio you got going, sport

So these schools aren’t “coming back” but hiring Deion firicking Sanders would do the trick? Did you not watch the last 8 weeks of the season?

Pretty sure 60 minutes would argue your point. Pat Dye was filtering money to the troops until Ramsey sounded the alarm. No SEC team has been on NCAA probation more often than the barn.
Selective memory syndrome with the barners.
