When I was a kid, college football was changing. Or at least so I was told. Miami and Florida State had arrived on the scene, supposedly proving it’s a new world. The Old “Gang Of Nine” no longer dominated college football.
Fast forward 20 years, and that really hasn’t happened. Someone can have a pretty good idea of who is going to be playing for the championship, even if they don’t follow college football too closely. That article was from 1979, and a lot of the names are still the same. Sure, some new ones pop up from time to time, but then fall by the wayside.
