re: Bobby Bowden started head coaching in 1959. From 1959-2020 where does he rank all time.

This is the exact quote

Florida won 27 straight SEC games from 1994 through 1997.
Thought you said Florida State...my bad.

For such a “strong” conference, how on earth did Florida manage that? Bowden was 2-2-1 against Florida in that stretch.
So are trying to tell me FSU could do the same? Sorry,not happening
quote:
Penn State 97-26 (1 national title)
quote:
Nebraska 108-16-1 (3 national titles)
Penn State '94? So you're claiming both Nebraska AND Penn State? AP National champions...its pretty simple.
quote:
Pretty close IMO
Not really.

also said the SEC has been way better since the mid 00s than it ever was in the 1990s. That is an undeniable fact. Sorry
And? Still doesn't mean it wasn't the best in 90's just because LSU sucked.
quote:
Through the 1970s and 1980s, former FSU president Stanley Marshall began to push the issue by conducting a personal tour of SEC campuses, in an attempt to land the Seminoles a place within the conference. It seemingly was becoming more and more of an issue as Florida State began to make quite a name for itself in the 1980s, but it wasn't until 1990 that another suitor—the Atlantic Coast Conference, would come calling.
Still isn't the reason the joined the ACC and the FSU President admitted as much and like I said,the SEC wasn't interested in taking any new members over that time period...not even when GT left.

Why not? They were every bit as good as Florida during that same time period

It’s really not that simple, which is why they created the BCS and then the CFP.

Yes really.

You do realize 5/12 SEC teams had a losing record in the 90s with State right around .500 right? (You don’t, clearly) Keep moving those goal posts, though. This has nothing to do with LSU yet you brought LSU into it fir whatever reason. The SEC was not, far and away, the best conference in football then and was not even in the same universe as they are now.
Of the top 10 teams in number of wins in the 1990s, the SEC had 2 teams, the Big 10 had 3, and the Big 12 had 3 teams (Kansas St was 11th). Compare that to 2005-present, the SEC has 4 in the top 11, the Big 10 with 2, the Big 12 with 1, the PAC 10 with 1, and the ACC with 1. This idea of the SEC being so much better than everyone else was not a thing back then. Were they better, maybe, but it was marginal at best. The college football power structure was much more spread out back then.

You don’t seem to really know much about anything that happened before 2010 so I guess I should just learn to ignore your opinions moving forward

how young are you?
the coaches poll was just as prestigious as the AP poll, in fact for much of the 90s more so. Stop acting like split NCs were not a thing.
for most of the 90s there were two good teams in the sec, UF & UT. Bama was inconsistent as hell as was auburn. the sec west sucked dick honestly.
