Yesterday, I posted FanNation's ranking of the 10 greatest football programs of all time (see below for review).
However....how do the top 10 rank in their all-time series record vs. each other?
For review, the all-time top ten based on all the various criteria (which was extensive) given in FanNation's rankings were:
#10. LSU Tigers
#9. GEORGIA Bulldogs
#8. NEBRASKA Cornhuskers
#7. MICHIGAN Wolverines
#6. TEXAS Longhorns
#5. NOTRE DAME Fighting Irish
#4. OHIO STATE Buckeyes
#3. OKLAHOMA Sooners
#2. USC Trojans
#1. ALABAMA Crimson Tide
How would the above top 10 rank per winning series vs. each other? Results below..........

I honestly don’t care about “all time series records” that are like 1 or 2 games over 150 years.

It's wild that Texas only leads LSU 9-8-1 given Texas' status as a blue blood, the number of meetings, and LSU's lack of commitment to football pre 2001.

Texas has lost to Alabama twice, 2009 and 2021.
And LSU squeaked out that win in 2019 and still cried about the locker room.

As much shite as we all give each other over petty comparisons and pure one-upmanship, this is actually pretty amazing.
Imagine being a fan of some stiff team stuck in a random low-energy conference, now having to deal with five of the greatest programs of all time being right here in the SEC.

It's kind of weird that LSU and Michigan have never played given that there have been a lot of bowls that match up good SEC vs good Big 10 teams.
I think Auburn and Notre Dame are the only other historical top 25 programs that have never played each other, but ND is picky about who they schedule and there haven't been many bowl opportunities.
