Depending on when you grew up or started watching CFB, you probably subconsciously have a reference point for who the powers of CFB are, who the doormats are, etc. For me, I still view USC and Nebraska as powers, even though it has been some years since they were truly nationally relevant for an extended period of time. Conversely, I imagine a lot of young kids who just started getting into CFB can’t imagine either as dominant forces that were essentially empires.
