When did football dynasties become more fragile than predictions?

This college football season reveals how quickly preseason expectations crumble under the weight of reality. Three top-five programs - Texas, Penn State, and Clemson - find themselves in dire straits, with Texas unable to defeat a power conference opponent and Penn State suffering an unthinkable loss to previously winless UCLA. Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde analyzes whether these fallen giants can salvage their playoff hopes, exploring Texas's potential path through the SEC despite offensive struggles and Penn State's uphill battle in the Big Ten.

Forde also gives his theory on how the coaching carousel could unfold this offseason, from potential moves involving Lane Kiffin to Texas to James Franklin's possible departure from Penn State.  He finishes things off by  talking about a couple of first-year coaches who are facing vastly different fates as Bill Belichick struggles at North Carolina while Dan Mullen leads UNLV to its first 5-0 start since 1974 and breaks down Week 7 which brings ANOTHER massive Big Ten showdown as Dan Lanning and Oregon go up against Indiana in a matchup that is sure to have playoff implications.
