One thing to factor in, they have played many more games than Bama. Some of those schools were playing football long before we did. Not really concerned with the old old records.

There's only a handful of years difference when most of the bluebood programs began playing. Michigan is the only one that is the outlier.

like looking at the last 10-15 years, most do not remember much past that. And to be honest teams 20-25 yrs ago really have no bearing on the schools today. Those team like to remember the late 1800's and first half of the 1900's as they were power houses then, not anymore. I mean really when was last time anyone feared ND or Mich

Obviously the recent past is more relevant, but it wasn't that long ago people would have put Alabama in Nebraska, Notre Dame, or Michigan's shoes.

True to that, but who really keeps up with 50 yr old wins? It is nice to know your history but it is just that ancient history. The past few years are all I really look at. I mean the old wins were with different staffs,rules and payers who are in nursing homes now. I celebrate the old guys and what they did but it really is not that important to me. The best thing is right here right now, those who live in history do so as they have nothing else to celebrate. I am sure Mich, ND and Neb., love the past they actually won games back then.But today they are all pretty much irrelevant.
