Alabama easily held this spot until 2009 but looking at the biggest college football programs who haven't had a single winner
Tennessee (closest was Manning 2nd in 1997)
Clemson (closest was Watson and Lawrence both finishing 2nd in 2016 and 2020)
Michigan State (had RB's finish 3rd on a couple of occasions)
Pretty much every other "major" football program that is on top of the wins/national titles charts has at least one.
There's a bunch of mid-teir Power 5 schools that haven't yet, but the three above are probably now the most notable.

Johnny majors and Peyton both should have won it.
I think heath shuler finished 3rd as well in 93.

Considering their histories, I'd have to say Tennessee is a distant first because of how long they were successful.
Clemson is more recent success, but it has been such a MASSIVELY successful few years people forget that prior to 2008 or so they were essentially a rent-a-win.
Michigan State is the anti-Clemson, in that they were successful a long time ago but have been a middling program for quite a while. 2016 was the blip, but that was it.

I mean I wouldn't go that far. They were a 7-5/8-4 program between when Danny Ford's players left after 1993 and the first really good year Dabo had in 2011. And they were really, really good in the 80s.

You can be distant and in the lead or distant and behind. Distant does not indicate a particular direction.
Good try though. I'll give you a C-, mostly for effort.

Peyton was robbed, but Hornung's award in '56 has to be the worst of all. Threw for 3 TDs and 13 INTs and rushed for only 420 yds in 10 games. JMHO but Jim Brown deserved the award, 986 yds rushing in 8 games (6.2 ypc) and scored 14 TDs.

I don't think you understand the context of using "distant" when talking about "first".
Usually you would say that Michigan is the Number 1 team that underachieves. A distant SECOND would be Tennessee.
I'll take your C and raise you an F....you sound as dumb as this guy
Dammit....I'm the one who loses because I've been going back and forth with a dummy, this whole time.
You can refute either "Mr. Genius".

Now let's tally up your non-sequitur responses, like this one, from here on out. Retro-counting them would be a TASK.
Go ahead and look up. Try refuting them both....or should I let the 'less fortunate' be?
ETA.
take your time

I don't think you're trying at all.
This response is another 'distant first' no-splain
You meant, 'runaway' or 'consensus' first. You were too stupid then; too proud now. That takes you back to stupid. And I'm back to thinking that you're just not smart enough to go on with this.
eta.....neat meme deflection, though!
