They have had a nice little run.
Even got to the NC game en sech.
Fun to watch for a while.

But I think they join these teams in the Ash Heap of College Football History that got close but no cigar:
  • Kansas State of the 90's
  • Virginia Tech played in the NC once.
  • A&M under Slocum
  • Baylor most recently
  • West Virginia with Rich Rod was 1 game away from greatness.
I loved watching all those teams while they were making a run except Baylor of course.
I know I'm forgetting some teams that were close then faded into oblivion.

List more teams that almost made it but didn't. mmmmmk

As long as @OregonDucks lives, Oregon will never die. They will forever start off every game slow but "pick it up in the second half and win comfortably by at least two scores"

They will get some talent because of the Uncle Phil connection but they had and wasted their one shinning moment

Arizona had a brief run in their "Desert Swarm" days. They had some crazy good defenses.

Virginia Tech was pretty solid from 1993 to 2011. Had four mediocre seasons (from previous standards) from 2012-2015, but they did finish nationally ranked this past season. I don't think they belong with the other schools on this list.

Ranked and in contention for a NC are 2 different things.

^^^Pretty much this^^^

They had a great run, especially when you consider what their program has been for most of it's existence. They even developed themselves a real nice coaching tree where they were able to keep building while promoting from within. However, that ended when Helfrich couldn't keep it going.

They also had a window where USC was under sanctions and Washington was trying to dig themselves out of the crater that a previous AD had left where the football program used to be.

As long as they have the backing of Uncle Phil and Nike, they will continue to be able to attract talent, so I don't see them going back to being the doormats they used to be. But with USC and Washington looking like they're back, they aren't likely to repeat the recent run of success that they've had either.

Oregon definitely had their best chance during the Chip era. Missing out on hiring Peterson was another misstep. It's certainly possible they could make a comeback but it's going to take a coach who can not only recruit with the blue bloods, but can turn 3 stars into 5.

Those Duck teams were really fun to watch. I'd like to see them get back near the top. It's going to be tough with Washington's rise. Plus if SC continues their return to greatness they could struggle to pull the Southern California studs that they had been getting. The problem is even when they were finishing highly in the rankings every year running their system, they were not recruiting at an elite level, not a lot of four and five star kids to pull from the Northwest.

it'll be tough now that Washington has a great coach, and USC seems to be back.
