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

So are trying to tell me FSU could do the same? Sorry,not happening

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

Penn State '94? So you're claiming both Nebraska AND Penn State? AP National champions...its pretty simple.

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

Not really.

Yes really.

Still doesn't mean it wasn't the best in 90's just because LSU sucked.

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.

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.

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
