You have to be able to do things with the talent, but the ceiling for most teams in the P4 is higher than it's ever been before. It's more NFL level parity now than ever. System, development, and culture is what will set programs year to year apart moving forward. Remember when everyone thought Clemson and Penn State were going to be so good this year with all their returning production. They didn't necessarily regress as much as everyone think they did. Everyone around them got a lot better and they weren't that much better than the competition the previous year to begin with, they just had enough to put them over the top to make the playoffs and for Penn State to make a run to the semifinal.

The margins is so small at the power conference level that when our QB level dropped when Collins took over from Angeli, we turned from what was arguably an ACC contender into the worst Power 4 conference team. Fran had Syracuse looking like a playoff level football team that would've been dangerous with the offense we had at the end of the 2024 season, we just didn't have the resume to justify inclusion.
