FSU was basically a playoff team and they were literally thrown together by the transfer portal.
Texas had 2 strong recruiting classes under Sark and a transfer QB, 2 transfer WRs, and transfer TE.
DeBoer was at Washington for 2 years.
All of those teams also had 'THE' QB. And I, like many, believe Cam Ward is 'THE' QB.
Yes the Ohio St, UGA, Bama, Michigans, are teams that have been building and developing. This is true. However there are multiple examples in the new world of CFB, of teams piecing together players via the portal, and having a run. That's exactly what Ole Miss is trying to do.
You're also forgetting that this year is a 12 team CFP. Which means there are multiple ways for UM to get in.
