Rank the best five year runs.
If your school is not listed, post their best five years in football.
1). Alabama 1961-1965
1961 - 11-0, National Champions
1962 - 10-1, top five finish
1963 - 9-2, top ten finish
1964 - 10-1, National Champions
1965 - 9-1-1, National Champions
2) Alabama 2008-2012
2008 - 12-2, top ten finish
2009 - 14-0, National Champions
2010 - 10-3, top ten finish
2011 - 12-1, National Champions
2012 - 13-1, National Champions
3) Alabama 1977 - 1981
1977 - 11-1, SEC Champions, top five finish
1978 - 11-1, National Champions
1979 - 12-0, National Champions
1980 - 10-2, top ten finish
1981 - 9-2-1, SEC Champions, top ten finish
4) Florida 2005 - 2009
2005 - 9-3, top 15 finish
2006 - 13-1, National Champions
2007 - 9-4, top 15 finish
2008 - 13-1, National Champions
2009 - 13-1, top five finish
5) LSU 2003 - 2007
2003 - 13-1, National Champions
2004 - 9-3, top 20 finish
2005 - 11-2, top five finish
2006 - 11-2, top five finish
2007 - 12-2, National Champions
These are the only five instances of winning multiple NCs in a five year span during the poll era. Some may say Alabama's run of five SEC titles, with five top five finishes and an NC may belong, while some may find pre-poll runs that deserve to be listed. I'll leave that for others to post.

We needed a good Alabama fap thread.
And I'm not really being sarcastic, that's the tragic part.

I don't see Ole Miss on here with that huge recruiting class that won them soooo many games for so many years.

We were also 10-1 in 1964, not 11-1.

A&M's would be from 1991-1995
1991) SWC champs
1992) SWC champs
1993) SWC champs
1994) undefeated and would have been SWC champs but we were ineligible
1995) won 9 games and ended up in the top 15
our overal record over those years was 51-8-1 and we had a conference record of 33-2-1

LSU finished ranked #5 in 2005 and #3 in 2006, so they were both top 5 finishes.
Just providing info.

Georgia can't stack up with those listed in the OP, only because we don't have multiple titles. We do have a pretty good run though.
1980- 12-0, SEC and National Champions
1981- 10-2, SEC Champions
1982- 11-1, SEC Champions (lost in NCG)
1983- 10-1-1, #4 ranking
1984- 7-4-1
The 1984 year really drags this period down, but it did include 3 straight SEC titles, a national title, a heisman, and 4 top 10 finishes.

I'd exchange these two, simply because, in addition to the 2 NCs, LSU had two Top 5 finishes in their span, Florida only had one.
