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

-Alabama
-Oklahoma
-USC
-Notre Dame
