This is an easy one. Rank the top 5 College football programs of all time.

Notre Dame
USC
Texas
Miami
Michigan

My top 5 is above. Here are some that I had a hard time not putting up there.

Oklahoma
Florida
Florida State
Ohio State
Minnesota (check out the 30's)
LSU

Wow, no Bama in that top 5 or even consideration? Hm... interesting.

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.

by **Stallion** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 2:56 pm

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

Here's a list:

of course that ranks teams not programs

by **huntnfish** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 3:04 pm

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!

I think you have to break it into time periods...

that is:

Before 1960
Bama
Michigan
USC
ND

After 1960
Bama
Texas
Ohio State
USC
argue another / ND

Since 1980
Miami is on the list
OU
(Texas is NOT on this list)
Michigan
Nebraska / Ohio State
USC

All time
Bama
OU
USC
Ohio State / ND
Michigan

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.
