Over the past two decades, Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State and Texas have fallen from their preseason ranking by season’s end with greater frequency than every other program in the nation.

LSU, Nebraska and Ohio State are right behind, having underperformed expectations 65 percent of the time.
