The answer is, has been, and always will be...no. Ben had a few good years as did Mac and P. We don't live in a talent laden enough region, have the alumni support, or state support to compete with Georgia, Bama, Michigan, MSU, Wisconsin, etc every single year. What we should be year in year out is at least a top 50 program, regular bowl appearances, top 25 appearances every so often, and competing for the ACC championship every few years. Here are the schools I don't feel we can compete with vs what schools I feel should be our peers but we still can't compete with.

Above our head: USC, Texas, Florida State, Clemson, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, Alabama, LSU , Auburn, Florida, Ohio State, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and possible Nebraska, Tennessee.

Yes some of those schools have down years and many others have good years and break into the top 25. FWIW, we have a ways to go before we start catching what I would consider peer schools, albeit the top level i.e. Miami, VT, GT, Iowa, Arizona, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Washington, etc.
