Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4399032, member: 1559"] I think Michigan was elite but they are having a hard time becoming elite again. I define elite as finishing in the top 10 in half of the years in the past 15 years and Michigan has 2 Top 10 finishes in the AP poll in the past 15 years. Here are the schools that I consider to be elite over the past 15 years with # of top 10 finishes: Alabama - 13 Ohio St. - 13 Oklahoma - 11 Clemson - 8 Georgia - 8 Oregon - 8 (I think it will be hard for them to maintain) Schools that have been close to elite: LSU - 5 Florida - 5 Penn St. - 5 USC - 4 Florida St. - 4 Notre Dame - 4 Michigan St. - 4 Stanford - 4 Texas - 4 Other schools: Boise St. - 3 Cincinnati - 3 Wisconsin - 3 Auburn - 2 Utah - 2 Michigan - 2 Virginia Tech - 2 Texas A&M - 2 Oklahoma St. - 2 Baylor - 2 UCF - 2 [/QUOTE]
