College Football is better when?

We hear this expression used a lot in sports not just college football. But who is on the list of schools that college football is simply best when they are good at football?

In alphabetical order: Alabama, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas, USC. These 7 schools reign supreme for me as far as I think it really helps the sport of college football when they are elite teams within the sport.

I've always found myself kind of bewildered by the "[fill in the blank sports league] is better off when [team x/y/z] is good" statement. Isn't any league better off when as many of their teams as possible are good?

When the SEC is dominant and then there is one dominant team from some other conference that thinks they compete.

I would appreciate the inclusion of one more school, but your list is a good one.

I feel like you need a second school in the SEC to compete with Alabama to make College Football at it's best. I don't care who you choose out of Florida, LSU and Tennessee. But Alabama being able to walk all over the SEC is not when College Football is at it's best.

Good list. They make great villains for the rest of the schools in the country.

I really am getting tired of Alabama's reign though. Isn't it time for a passing of the torch??

I wish I could remember "The U". That had to be some fun football to watch. The most exciting college football that I have witnessed was the reggie bush/Vince Young years and then the Tebow years. Notre Dame hasn't been relevant in a long time so I really can't comment on how they impact the league.

I'm at my happiest when traditional powerhouses are awful. Tradition is for Christmas dinner and Sunday mass.

College football is at its best when Louisville is good. End of list.

Alabama, Notre Dame, & Ohio State.

I can't believe I just said Ohio State, but rooting for whomever plays them is a major interest of mine.

Best reply ever. And the fact is that CFB makes tons of money when those programs are good. TV, radio, merchandise etc. etc. If you want viewership, talk about Bama, OSU, or Notre Dame....fans will listen and watch

Oops sorry. Nebraska probably deserves to be on the list. I apologize.

I think it's more of just from a national engagement standpoint.
