tbh Texas is so overrated historically. They have just won a ton of games playing against nobody teams in the third hardest conference.
OU was in the same conference but you didn't call them out. You just envy Texas. You know deep inside just like everyone else on this site that when Texas is firing on all cylinders they are a threat to this conference. Any rational person knows this.

No one under 50 has even seen Texas firing on all cylinders. lol unless 2005 Texas is what you consider “all cylinders”

I sense denial. And by all cylinders I mean competing for championships yearly. Which to your retarded point Texas fans under 50 has saw literally under mack in the 2000s. I'm not saying Texas has to make a natty every year. But atleast compete for the conference title yearly. With the resources Texas has no reason why that can't be true.

You probably are not OP, but still not convinced you are not OP. It's not my fault. Blame your own crowd.

Alabama clearly stands alone, but Georgia has overtaken Tenn at #2

Legendary (Tier 1)
- Alabama
- Tennessee
Anyone with just a passing knowledge of college football knows Tennessee does not belong in the same tier as Alabama.
Historically, Alabama is the Declaration of Independence-- it's impact is profound.
Tennessee is the U.S. invasion of Grenada. It was once discussed from time to time, but that was a long time ago, and it has had no lasting impact on our nation.

Thank you.
Honestly, we could probably put them in the same tier. I revised my rankings. OU is pretty far ahead of Tejas IMO.

Tier II: Oklahoma
Tier III: Texas
Tier IV Georgia, LSU, Tennessee
Tier V: Auburn, Florida
Tier VI: Arkansas, Texas A&M
Tier VII: Ole Miss, Mizzou
Tier VIII: South Carolina
Tier IX: Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Kentucky

LSU, Tennessee, and UGA have good claims to the #2 spot. If we split hairs, LSU and UGA are probably ahead of VOLS.

You had better check the shorthorn trophy case before writing that nonsense. "All hat and no cattle."

1 NC in 55 years and they weren't firing on all cylinders once in the other 54 years?

I do this with every sport… with a bit of a bonus awarded towards more recent success.
Here’s how my rankings look:
1. Alabama- 1,293
2. Ohio State- 1,081
3. Oklahoma- 1,023
4. Notre Dame- 889
5. Michigan- 811
6. USC- 775
7. Georgia- 664
8. LSU- 660
9. Texas- 657
10. Nebraska- 655
11. Florida State- 598
12. Penn State- 581
13. Miami- 564
14. Florida- 559
15. Clemson- 535
16. Tennessee- 532
17. Auburn- 472
18. Michigan State- 359
19. UCLA- 327
20. Washington- 322
21. Oregon- 305
22. Texas A&M- 294
23. Wisconsin- 280
24. TCU- 267
25. Arkansas- 264
Other SEC:
26. Ole Miss- 251
36. Missouri- 175
52. South Carolina- 108
59. Mississippi State- 90
63. Kentucky- 72
75. Vanderbilt- 12
Top 25-30 Teams whose ranking is most positively affected by the Bonus points for recent success:
+11 Oregon (#32 with no bonus but moves to #21 with recent success weighted more)
+3 Georgia (#7 with bonus, #10 without)
+3 Florida State (#11 with bonus, #14 without
+3 Washington (#20 with bonus, #23 without
+3 Wisconsin (#23 with bonus, #26 without)
+3 TCU (#24 with bonus, #27 without)
Top 25-30 Teams whose ranking is most negatively affected by lack of recent success:
-8 Minnesota (#28 now, but #20 if not penalized for lack or recent success)
-6 Pittsburgh (#30 now; #24 otherwise)
-4 Tennessee (#16 now; #12 otherwise)
-4 Georgia Tech (#29 now; #25 otherwise)
-3 Nebraska (#10 now; #7 otherwise)
-3 Arkansas (#25 now; #22 otherwise)
Here are how each SEC team’s ranking was effected by the recency bonus / penalty:
+7 S. Carolina
+3 Georgia
+2 Ole Miss
+2 Missouri
+1 LSU
+1 Georgia
0 Alabama
-1 Texas A&M
-1 Auburn
-1 Texas
-1 Oklahoma
-2 Miss St
-3 Kentucky
-3 Arkansas
-4 Tennessee
In summary, South Carolina has exceeded their program’s typical success over the last 10, 20, 30 years the most, and Tennessee has struggled the most during that period relative the times before then.

The SEC now has 2 true blue bloods in Bama and Oklahoma
Since no one who isn't living in an Assisted Living Facility for the senile cognitively impaired even cares about who or what a 'blue blood' is, why don't we move out of the Jurassic period and talk about modern times, like say, THIS decade? That leaves Oklahoma out completely and moves UGA to the top.
