One thing you can say about Football Outsiders’ Brian Fremeau – when it comes to determining élite college football programs, he’s not from Montana.

“I just think that people like Georgia football. I mean, why, when you have an opportunity, on this nice spring day to come to Athens, I know I would be dying to come if I lived anywhere in the state or in a five-hour radius. Get out of the house, get the kids out of the house, come see who the new faces are. I think some of it’s recruiting but I think people enjoy football in Georgia and want to come watch it. I’m glad they do because the impact it has on recruiting, I can’t tell you how many recruits are out there going, oh my gosh, I can’t believe it, I can’t get over it. It’s the norm here. It’s the way it should be…” — Kirby Smart, AJ-C, 4/21/18
It is really sad what has happened to Washington. They really filled the USC void on the West Coast in the early 90’s and were damn-near dominant.
Perhaps the most beautiful setting in all of college football, very good recruiting base, a good school in a metropolitan area-they have all the ingredients.
It’s strange that they have sucked so long now. It is eye-opening to see them that high on the list. If Sarkisian can coach at all, we may see the other “Dawgs” become the dominant Pac 10 team again.

I remember reading that expose when Gtu was thought to be leaning toward Neuheisel. I was praying that he would get the job.

The only teams not appearing among the Elite-21 that claimed a title were BYU in 1984 and the split champions Georgia Tech and Colorado in 1990.
HA!HA!
