[QUOTE="wma500, post: 1568802, member: 591991"] Clemson and Alabama built something. It's up to everybody else to knock them off. 15 years ago, Clemson was a mid pack ACC team with little prominence on the national stage. Alabama was much the same. But they found two great coaches, in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Seeds planted 13 years ago continue to bear huge fruit these days. Saban won a couple national championships at Alabama before the playoffs, and Clemson, although slower to emerge, has now won two championships as well. They don't have to apologize for anything, and until somebody knocks them off, they'll often be in the playoffs. In the 80's, it was Miami. In the 90's it was Nebraska, Florida and FSU, in the 2000's it was USC and Florida. College football always ebbs and flows. It'll be somebody different 5-10 years from now. [/QUOTE]
