Has what, one major poll title since WW2? They aren't in the discussion.
The top 3 are Bama, ND, and USC.
As an ND guy, this is the way I look at it.
There is the Big Three, each having been the most significant program of its geographic region over the last 120 years or so. There are legitimate arguments for all three as the greatest program in college football history, and I think it's pretty close.
The only other two real contenders in my mind would be Oklahoma and Michigan. Oklahoma is probably pretty close, but just doesn't have quite the stats that Alabama, ND, and SC have. Michigan has won exactly 1/2 a national title since the 1940's. They're out. I'd put them around Nebraska or Texas historically.

Not unreasonable.
