what makes Texas football 'prestigious"? a fanboy says so?
if Texas is more prestigious than Clemson, how did Clemson match the number of national titles that Texas has, and in a shorter period of time.
i don't get how a fooball program can be prestigious. it is a game.

Texas has actually only won one title since scholarship limits, and that is because of Vince Young.

The prestige in that sense doesn’t even have to be based on success in terms of titles necessarily. I think the way I look at it is by who is known. I could show pretty much anyone in the country a texas logo and they would be able to instantly tell it’s Texas. While Texas doesn’t have that many NCs, the point is that they were consistently competing for a longtime, are in one of the best tv markets in the country, and had the right marketing to make their prestige grow.

Texas was involved in the two biggest football games in history.
Clemson has won some NC but they will be quickly forgotten.
The 1969 game was the 100th anniversary of CFB. The POTUS was at that game. The Texas/Arkansas game still has the highest rating ever for a CFB game with over 50% of televisions.
Plus the 2006 Rose Bowl.
It has been 13 years and people are still talking about that game as if it was yesterday.
Has the highest rating for all CFB games in the modern era. These are games that aren't controlled by the NCAA. Post 1989.
Not all NC are equal.
