College Football Hierarchy as described as wrestling families


Mandel put out this list - a piece where he divides up the P5 CFB world into tiers of nobility - It seemed a bit too straight forward to me. I felt the list didn't really consider continuing or developing circumstances that well and leaned a bit too strongly on his structure. I did what any normal person would do - broke it down via wrestling dynasties.




The McMahons-  Whether the product is good or bad they still control the wealth and attention

-Ohio State
-Alabama
-Oklahoma
-USC
-Notre Dame
-Texas
-
The Harts -Sustained  greatness/relevancy with some rough patches

Auburn
LSU
Florida
FSU
Penn State
Wisconsin
Clemson
Utah


 The Anoa'i - Lots of winning history, booked to look strong but bigger rep than maybe deserved

Michigan
Washington

Oregon

The Smith's - Brief brushes with greatness - but no staying power/struggle to get over hump
