Put all of the bluebloods together, they can't all remain bluebloods
With this system of Polls that I don't like, you have to go undefeated or close to it. When you put everyone together that are used to going undefeated and being high in the polls like Nebraska, it becomes harder to win. Then you have someone like Clemson that can still go undefeated in the ACC and be right up there with Ohio State, who goes undefeated. but Nebraska is out of having an opportunity. Look for Oklahoma, Texas, and USC to become a new version of Nebraska. 20 years since Nebraska did anything. Yes, they'll have more money. But the competition gets treacherous. Nebraska hasn't handled it well.
The ones that benefit are examples like Maryland and Rutgers. They sucked before, and now they get paid more to suck. But is that life fun for the fans? Notre Dame has it made in the ACC if they can get NBC/Comcast to pay them enough for football. In the B1G, they too can become Nebraska. Ohio State or Michigan will win there without serious challenge.
