Missouri: Minnesota. Only major program in a fairly large state. Lack of success given that fact.
Seriously?
Missouri CFB MNC's = 0
Minnesota CFB MNC's = 4
Gophers were the first CFB team with 3 MNC's after Bernie Beirman left his success at Tulane to lead the Gophers. I think they won 3 back to back to back just before WWII and then they never fully recovered after the war. They still won another MNC in the 60's so they have a most impressive football history.
Gophers have also been to an NCAA Final Four which Missouri still has not accomplished.
Gophers are probably a Top 25 academic school while Missouri is more like Top 100

I was really comparing football programs, not academics. The fact that they are both state flagship schools is all I really cared about. And yes, Minnesota won a few MNCs between 1904-1941. Since 75 years ago, the two football programs have a lot of common ground.
