Makes absolutely no sense to have Heisman winners literally double the weight of an all-american and triple an NFL draft pick. It's 85% of the weight of a Natty. Just absurd lol.
Exactly.

He’s a longhorn blogger who did this specifically so he could tweet it out to recruits

Yep, I guess that’s more important than titles. Ride that dick.

That explains a lot. Problem is, recruits want to make their own history (and, more importantly, money), not go to a school because of what was done decades ago.

FU got the mulligan in 1996 over more deserving teams, it's garbage just like Bama's from 2011. You were 5-8-1 against your biggest rival during your program's best stretch. FSU has accomplished more despite your 50 year head start (they were an all-girls school before that). Sucks to be a Florida Gator!

Not his system, correct? He's just putting together other's lists or opinions.Id like to know who put together the last column (microphone on top)
He created the scheme to weight each category, and chose which categories to include at all. To me that makes it his system.
ETA: the last column is natty's

How does it feel to be the 3rd most accomplished program in your state despite FSU being all-girls until 1947 and Miami being a tiny private school?

When applying different weights of importance to different things, he should include time. A national championship from 100 years ago should not carry the weight of one 5 years ago. Anything that happened before integration should not carry much weight. IMHO.

Agreed.

Disagree. I'd weight it so that stuff from 100 years ago counts about 1/2 of recent stuff.

TBH this analysis should be done only for the last 50 years, the differences in CFB with the number of schollies and things like that skew the results greatly when you go back beyond 50 years, also the NFL used to have a territorial draft before they had a Common Draft
When Bear Bryant had 193 guys on scholly "hidden" on the swim team, baseball team, golf team and everywhere else it meant that those guys couldn't compete against him, in fact roughly 90% of the NCAA Rulebook was written in direct response to Bear Bryant's cheating ways
Only in the last 50 years has there been a close to level playing field for CFB , though the arms races in Facilities is quickly dismantling what little level playing field there is

If he was cheating, then why didn't they just enforce the rules he was breaking? If they had to make the rules in response to his methods, it means they didn't exist at the time, so what he did wasn't cheating.

Yep the Bear was untouchable, but all his disciples got busted. Alabama has already had to forfeit a bunch of wins, their entire history should have a giant asterisk next to it. Oklahoma is the only program that comes close RE: cheating

I agree with your statements, but the long and interesting history of college football is still very important.
I think he should have weighted those categories to award more points for titles, trophies, rankings, etc that have taken place within the past 50 years, and then just applied a slightly smaller multiplier to those categories for awards/honors/"events" that happened more than 50 years ago.

I would drop many that is on the list. After USC at #6 I think the others thta may have had a claim would lose it now. USCw is in danger of losing their status, too.
I wouldn't consider anybody below Penn State as ever having been a blueblood, and Penn State, Texas and Nebraska have lost their claims, imo
as stated. Its a generational thing not even a decade thing.
