Back in the 90s if you didnt start out ranked top 10 or 15 you didnt have a true shot of winning the title. Thats why they started the BCS and now playoffs. You just couldnt climb over legacy teams back then

Tell that to 1990 Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets started the season unranked and finished #1 in the Coaches Poll.

OU started 2000 #19. Didn't hurt to beat the (then) #11, #2 & #1 teams consecutively.

I know, GTFO with anything about non-SEC teams. By the way, I too agree most of my Sooner brethren are a little over the top on your island. I (mostly) just stop by for the very interesting thread topics.
