In your opinion, historical and traditionally, who are the 3 greatest football programs not in the SEC or B1G excluding notre dame?

Prestige, brand, winning, titles, should all be considered

Harvard if you are going back to the Ivy League days..

Pittsburgh should probably be included before Clemson

Oklahoma
Southern Cal
Nebraska
Texas
Penn State

In that order.

None of those teams belong in their current conference except, maybe, Penn State.

Of all time?

Florida State, Miami, and I guess Clemson? Perhaps Georgia Tech?

Who do I think are the biggest or most attractive programs?

Florida State, North Carolina, and flip a coin between Clemson/Virginia Tech/Georgia Tech.

doesn't matter if they don't belong. they are in the B1G/SEC and thus don't qualify for this thread

Some fruit needs to be picked. And thrown into the trash.

NEED I SAY MORE???? I could, but I won't. :)

2. Notre Shame -- but, we're not counting them.

3. Michigan
