I just got done watching "The U" again, and it got me to thinking of all of college football's traditional powerhouses that are no longer in power. The following teams claim a combined total of 39 national championships. It's pretty amazing to look at some of their recent records:
Miami: 63-51 in last nine seasons, 1-5 in bowl games, (7-6 avg.)
Notre Dame: 61-41 in last eight seasons, (8-5 avg.)
Texas: 36-28 in last five seasons, (7-6 avg.)
Michigan: 46-42 in last seven seasons , (7-6 avg.)
Penn State: 38-25 in last five seasons, (8-5 avg.)
Tennessee: 40-47 in last seven seasons, (6-7 avg.)
