1st-Alabama

Alltime Wins-Alabama
Winning percentage -Alabama
National Championships -Alabama
SEC Championships -Alabama
Heismans -Alabama
Consensus All-Americans -Alabama
First Round Draft picks -Alabama
Most in NFL currently- Alabama
Weeks at AP No.1 -Alabama
Weeks in AP poll -Alabama
Currently SEC champions-Alabama

But who is second?
I’d say LSU because if they were in the East since the 90’s they would have way better numbers.

The East was better than the West in the 90s and early 2000s

Eh. We were pretty bad in the 90s. We were 5-5 vs Kentucky and 1-9 vs Florida. (We were 2-8 vs Bama during that stretch).

True. However, West was 304-235 vs East.

You mean to say Spurrier was better.

If you are going since 2000, it is clearly:

Alabama
LSU
Georgia

As of this fall, the answer is easy: Oklahoma. And it isn’t close.

The Sooners will be closer to #1 Alabama than they will be to #3 LSU, and the league hasn’t been able to say their #2 was closer to Bama than the #3 since the early ‘60s.

This is how the programs rank today:

1. Alabama

2. Oklahoma

3. LSU
4. Georgia (its razor thin between LSU/UGA)
5. Texas
6. Florida
7. Tennessee
8. Auburn

9. Texas A&M
10. Arkansas
11. Ole Miss
12. Missouri
13. South Carolina
14. Mississippi State
15. Kentucky
16. Vanderbilt

Why don't we both cherry-pick statistics in the style of our Auburn basketball friends — Alabama and LSU have combined for 9 national titles over the past 21 seasons.

Your list is spot on. LSU and UGA are close

This is where I rank the programs, nationally speaking:

1. Alabama
2. Oklahoma
3. Ohio State
4. Notre Dame
5. Michigan
6. USC
7. LSU
8. Georgia
9. Nebraska
10. Texas
11. Florida State
12. Florida
13. Penn State
14. Miami
15. Clemson
16. Tennessee
17. Auburn
18. Michigan State
19. UCLA
20. Washington
21. Texas A&M
22. Oregon
23. Wisconsin
24. TCU
25. Arkansas

Biggest gaps would be between #1 Bama and #2 Oklahoma… Bama is pretty far out front. Next biggest gap would be between #3 Ohio State and #4 Notre Dame. Top 3 are way ahead of the rest.

The next biggest gap is between #17 Auburn and #18 Michigan State. The Top 17 are clearly way ahead of the others. Auburn is as close to #12 Florida as it is to #18 Michigan State.

Meanwhile, IMO #7 LSU, #8 Georgia, #9 Nebraska, and #10 Texas are so close together it’s basically a pick ‘em

Well, ignoring what went on in the Jurassic period of CFB and focusing on something reasonable like, say, the last 5 seasons?

UGA - 6 total losses and 2 national championships
Bama - 8 total losses and 1 national championship
LSU - 18 total losses and 1 national championship

So, who is currently the best program?

They have 7 national titles to your 4. But otherwise you’re spot on!

College football didn't start until the year 2000 for LSU fans.
