Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2960773, member: 7492"] Elite is a “now” term that exhibits excellence. It can be sustained like UConn’s 23 year run since 1995, or shorter like MSU two FF’s these past 2 years. You need to be a top team in your conference year in year out, be dominant nationally and a top 5 team in 1 of 5 years, top 10 team 3 of 5 years and top 20 in the other year. No more than 8 elite teams exist. To me, the current elite programs are: UConn, ND, Baylor, SC, MSU, Stanford, Louisville and Maryland. Programs that are still relevant but no longer elite (or not yet) are Tenn, Duke, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M and OSU. Again, this is a subjective view, [/QUOTE]
