This CBS Sports article about best and worst case scenarios for the top 25 is a perfect snapshot of everything wrong with the sport. They're analyzing teams that won't even be in the same conference in two years. The entire concept of a "program" is dead. It's just a temporary collection of mercenaries playing for a branded helmet before they all scatter to the wind again. I remember when the MIAC schedule was a sacred calendar, when you knew you'd face St. John's on that first Saturday in October every single year for decades. Now, rivalries are just business transactions waiting to be voided. They talk about Oregon's ceiling with their new quarterback, but what's the ceiling for a sport that has sold its soul? The Cobbers built something you could believe in, something that lasted. These super conferences are building nothing but revenue streams, and the fans who remember real college football are just left with the memories.
