So, I went on a sales training trip with my company; which is super strong in B1G country (had lots of fun tweaking Meechagan, Notre Lame and Suckeye fans!)
One of them forwarded me this article that lists the top 10 teams of each decade

Their football "program" is complete shite and everyone knows it but them. They always have been and probably always will be. It's a shame because the rest of their athletic programs are quality.

there's no way we don't make the 40s over wtf hardin simmons is.
We have 1 legit national title and 1 other less legit one, won 3 SEC titles that decade, and had over 80 wins. Idk what their criteria was but the 40s were one of our better decades and we surely were one of the top 10.

funny you should say that, as I had the same thought, we won a Natty in 1942 and have a damned strong case for 1946
was very surprised we weren't on the list that decade
