I think sustained goodness is worse than being great for 4-5 years, decent for a few others, and bad for 1 or 2. Michigan to me, besides 1997 when they were split champs, has been the good but not great team, usually losing to either ND at the beginning of the year or OSU+bowl at the end of the year. I'd much rather be someone like USC with dominance over their rivals or Oklahoma who dominated Texas for a sustained period in the middle of the last 10 years plus BCS wins and multiple championship game appearances.
