re: Alabama has ruined college football

quote:

---

NFL: 18/32 (56%) of teams have won a Super Bowl
College: 12/130 (9%) of teams have won a National Championship. That includes a couple of splits! Only like 2 or 3 additional programs have even played for one. It's always the same teams.

But you're also talking about 130 teams compared to 32. Just take the SEC, Big10, Big12, ACC, and Pac12. How many schools out of each of those would you expect to compete for the NC? Or that you'd consider the top teams even capable? Certainly not all of them.


SEC(6): Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, auburn(depending on how far the horseshoe is up their arse), and since it covers the 90s we will add tennessee

Big10(5): ohio state, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan State

Big12(2): Oklahoma and Texas. Others may make occasional noise, but that's it.

Acc(4): Miami, clemson, FSU, and maybe Virginia Tech.

Pac12(2): Oregon and USC. Again, others may make occasional noise, but that's it.

We can throw in notre dame even. We can throw in programs like Washington, Stanford, Utah, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech. Add whoever else you want.

That's 25 teams. 25 teams out of 130 that generally have the capability of putting together a national championship season. Out of those 25, since 1992:

Alabama, FSU, Nebraska, Florida, Michigan, tennessee, Oklahoma, Miami, ohio state, LSU, USC, Texas, auburn, and Clemson have won national titles.

14 out of 25 capable programs. College footballs problem isnt the same teams winning again and again, it's that there are too many teams. 14 of 25.

And out of those, Penn State, notre dame, Virginia Tech, Oregon, Michigan State, Washington and Georgia all either had really great teams that competed for a NC before the BCS, played in a BCS Championship, or made it to the playoffs.

14 out of those 25 have won a NC.
7 more of those 25 have competed for one.

You want more parity in CFB? Cut the playing field down to a more reasonable number of teams competing for the title.
