re: Top 5 programs of 21st century

It's really top 6 (in whatever order) and then a huge gap between #6 and #7

Bama
LSU
Florida
Ohio State
Southern Cal
Clemson

Case for #7?
Auburn - 3 SEC titles, 1 natty, played for another natty, the undefeated '04 team
Wisconsin - 3 straight Big Ten titles, lots of BCS/NY6 bowl games, but a very lackluster record in those games probably takes them out of consideration.
Georgia - 3 SEC titles, played for a natty. Gotta figure they're behind Auburn.
Florida State - 7 ACC titles, 9 BCS/NY6 Bowl games, 1 national title, played for another natty
Oregon - 7 Pac 12 titles, 8 BCS/NY6 Bowl games, played for 2 national titles


I'd say Florida State is #7.
