The Media often claims college football is more exciting or better when traditional powerhouses like USC and Miami are successful/relevent. While this benefits media coverage due to larger markets and storied histories, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the broader fan base.
Many fans, myself included, prefer a college football landscape with more parity and unexpected outcomes. I liked Boise St in the mid 2000s being one of the best programs in the west coast. Or Virginia Tech being a power house a few years ago. That to me is what makes CFB great. The focus on a select few schools often overshadows the compelling storylines and competitive balance that can make the sport truly captivating.
Ultimately, while nostalgia for past glories is understandable, it’s important to recognize that a diverse and unpredictable college football season is often more engaging for the majority of fans.
What do y’all think, do y’all think college football is better when certain schools are good?
