if you are going to say all time-Miami doesn't deserve it any more than Army does. I would OU, Alabama or Ohio St instead.

there is no way Texas is ahead of OU- Wilkinson, Switzer and Stoops years are too good

go check the all-time UT/OU record-you know they did play a little football before you were born Sunny.

Minnesota? If the 30s and 40s count, you can put SMU up for consideration. Nah.

Nebraska definitely needs consideration. Georgia, Penn State, Alabama deserve mention. Miami is a relatively late comer.

definitely not Florida or FSU. Florida didn't even win a SEC until the 1990s.

Stallion,

You are kidding about UT over OU, right?

UT has 3 national championships, none since full integration. OU has 7 national championships, that's right 7! 3 with Wilkinson, 3 with Switzer and one with Stoops. Old Man!

Bama
Texas
Ohio State
USC
argue another / ND



Since 1980

if you look I said OU should be in the Top 5 along with UT instead of Miami. But you claimed there was no way UT should be in there OVER OU. Both OU and UT have Top 5 programs but the fact is that UT has whupped OU a hell of a lot more times than OU has whupped UT.

Princeton won a few. All you had to do was win one game in the early days. :)
