List is garbage - 10 win seasons =/= actual championships

AZ State and Wisconsin over Arkansas and GA Tech?

10 win seasons is a moronic metric. Teams that won 9 when the season was 11 games or less get no points?

De emphasizing national titles? How does this shite get published?

Just have a sliding metric where titles from previous decades get less value so you don't over represent Yale, Princeton, Michigan and Notre Dame it isn't that hard.

8 SEC teams in the top 21. (Including OU and UTx)

Not too shabby.

The SEC doesn't have 5. They have 3. Bama, Texas and OU. Still better than most conferences. The B1G has 3 now, the ACC none, the Pac 12 none and now the Big 12 has none.

I’m not entirely against the list. Nebraska should be lower. Texas and LSU should be higher and Free Shoes University outside of Bimbo Fisher should be way lower. As much as I appreciate Bobby Bowden, they benefited from a weak conference and having to play one Miami game to be highly ranked. Similar to how Michigan and OSU is now.

I personally think the whole claim of a team being a 'blue blood' is...dumb. As mentioned by others there's no real criteria and it's just a made up title for programs with rich tradition. Nebraska is 4th on the list, but I bet they'd give up their spot if they could just have their first 10 win season since the freaun 90s.
Right now, I'm just concerned about my team winning its 3rd natty in the last 4 years. That's JMHO

What a dumb comment. You could say 3 in four years or reality says you have 2 titles in the last 44 years.

Either way, in that same period, Nebraska has 5 titles and Georgia has 2. You’ve been good lately. Don’t be stupid and tell your wife I said goodnight.

I saw Arizona State and Boise State in there. Did I miss Texas A&M somewhere?

This is a really stupid list that is impossible to read.

Edit: Also, even Bama fans, as dumb as they are, would acknowledge that Tennessee is too high and LSU is too low.

Tennessee is not a friggin blue blood. That name means nothing anymore.

This is quite funny/ironic since a good deal of time on this forum is arguing that Bama's national championships don't count. Different eras counted the titles by different means.

LSU is more elite than Tennessee and way more elite than PSU. And PSU only has 2 titles not 4. Wonder what else was fudged.

These threads are always a fun read just for the universal butthurt alone, as cringey as it may be.
