Step 1. Play Alabama
Step 2. Attempt to tackle the way you did when you gave up 700+ yards & 62 points to N.C.
Step 3. Have your best defensive player get ejected for targeting, on Alabama's second drive.
Step 4. Just ... don't block Alabama's D-line.

It all starts and ends with recruiting.
Skill...speed.
As with any distribution, football teams will fall along a Bell Curve in terms of power....and only the top quartile has a chance to win a NC.
It has always been a convenient fiction in basketball and football that all teams eligible in a division (131 in FBS)..actually can compete for the title.
Even in our "inclusive" basketball tourney...no team from the bottom seeded half of the teams has made the Final Four...out of 137 games, the #16 seed has won once and advanced no further....and 87% of the NC's have been won by the #1-3 seeds.
If you want parity...go the NFL route with drafts...and only 32 teams.

I don't usually like Sports Illustrated ...
But that article is a rather decent read. They have been improving their writing lately.
I shut the Bleacher Report e-mails off, because they stopped writing articles; and started sending Memes & Animated Gliffs with Headlines.
Maybe SI can bring back the reporting of sports news.
Lord knows, other outlets would prefer to asume they are the authority, to tell you how they believe you're supposed think.

Yep, Sports Illustrated tried to become a combination of Sports Magazine and Playboy…… I suppose their thinking was, ‘if we show ‘em some T & A photos they’ll believe what we write and think, and then they’ll think it too’.
There’s a lot of that thinking going around in the media these days. You know the same old slogan used by the Hollywood crowd, ‘give them sex and violence, and it’ll sell’
Kinda like those form over substance deals…… you know, the same way the Mouse operates.
