Not sure I agree that the difference between finishing first and finishing second is quantitatively the same as the difference between finishing twelfth and thirteenth.

It would have been in the top 15 if it wasn't for 30 years of stupid shite.

Alabama could win the next 13 AP national championships in a row and if Oklahoma just averaged 10th each year, Oklahoma would still be the "Greatest College Football Program of All Time" by this metric.

Oklahoma had more wins post world war two than any program in 2007.

I'll take a bunch more conference titles than your AP ranking and H2H record.
And 9 times in a row, bitch

Obviously, very biased. Must of had it in for the "TIDE." Jealousy is a disturbing mental fracture in the ability to accept the truth for what it is, and to be ok with your caste or station in life.

To further point out the failure of this ranking system, in a five-year stretch, it would be more valuable to finish second all five years than it would be to finish seventh the first year and then win four NCs in a row. There is no one anywhere who would agree with that.

Guess I’m bored today and cleaning stuff out. Ran across a 2013 Lindy’s College Football Preview magazine. In the back they always have a section with info from 5 years ago, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50 years ago. It includes who the top 5 finishers were those years. Surprisingly, Alabama is absent from all of those years from the top 5. (2008, 2003, 1998, 1993, 1988, 1963)

This list is shite. No Princeton or Yale?

college footballs winningest programs over the last 50 years
Ohio State - highest winning percentage in the last 50 years
Ohio State - fewest National Titles out of the top 4
OSU - doing less with more
But hey - at least you're not Michigan, am I right?

Facts are facts it’s okay Bama

Oklahoma can’t touch Alabama.

Ken Hatfield was the last coach to win an ACC title at Clemson before Dabo.
