I’d really hate it if you wrote about Cam Newton’s transfer from Florida.

What happens if he (and his father) take the money from Mississippi State instead of Auburn?

Now that would be a butterfly effect

I didn't consider that, Colin! It's certainly possible that a Miami run would either hamper or completely alter the dynasties that have come since then

Looking forward to this series! Two things that come to mind, what if:

1) Tebow went to Alabama instead of Florida

2) TCU had made the 2014 playoffs instead of Ohio St

Glad you're interested, David! Those are some pretty interesting topics. I actually considered the TCU over OSU one for this round

So cool! Big history guy here, too. All these topics look so interesting. One idea that comes to mind is the end of the Miami resurgence - if they win the second natty in 2002, do we get USC, Texas, and ultimately, Alabama? How long would UM have kept going or were there already warning signs that are conveniently overlooked because of the aura of that era.
