I think it’s safe to say Bama rules the south and the Buckeyes rule up North. Usually. Then again there is no pro sports team to follow in Alabama or Mississippi so it stands to reason that a lot of folks in the south watch Bama

I am including what is universally recognized by the NCAA without all your vacated wins. (And our 12 too). If you use ineligible player, the wins are vacated. Also several sites have Alabama with 342 losses. I think you are omitting a few to meet your narrative

Check Winsepdedia or any other accepted website. Show me one non Alabama homer website that shows Alabama having a better winning percentage than Ohio State. ESPN also often show Ohio State at .737 and Alabama 2nd at .734

I can’t possible continue my life without determining this fact.

This is imperative and urgent.

I hate that this is true, but it’s true.

Texas has won far less major hardware than the other schools mentioned.

Texas beat up on the SWC and the BigX12 for over 100 years.

It's wild that Nebraska has spent a grand total of 7 weeks in the top 10 since joining B1G in 2011 and 3 of those weeks were in 2011


Lot of people on some old boards back then claimed that NEB would dominate the Big Ten for years. Ooof

I mean it's usually bad to cut off all historical rivalries and be the furthest geographic spot in your new conference. See: Arkansas

That's why OU will still be in better shape is they still have our game.

Texas is the real winner because we get all 3 blood feuds (Ark, A&M, & OU) as our annual games.

I think we would’ve fared better in the long run had we not gotten away from our bread and butter (physical RTDB and defense) but we decided to scrap all that old dependable shite (which curiously seems to still work in football) and decided we wanted to do West Coast offense and throw pretty passes all over the field.

Ooof indeed.

Dude we can’t count UGA without counting Minnesota and shite

It’s fine to just be an elite program capable of making the playoffs every year. Who gives a shite about historical perception? That is what programs lean on when they suck.

Wisconsin is in the same boat as the Huskers. Two programs I always admired. To me traditional college ball will always be a little better when Nebraska and Wisky are playing well.

In the new era of college football, “blue blood status” is about as important as living in a small town with two country clubs and arguing over which is better.

A whole new group of teams will be emerging over the next 50 years for the status of being a so called Blue Blood.

Nebraska will always be to my generation a blue blood.

Georgia certainly can claim the title as being the new blue blood for this century

Bottom line? Who cares.

Must be why the top tv ratings game usually involves Alabama on a weekly basis lol.


Thats due to ESPN having waaaay more subscribers than Fox Sports in general. 2x or more from what i understand.

Im pretty sure the Buckeyes are unmatched when they are on ABC's national brodcast.

Anyways, ive been to tons of sports bars and hotels all over the country and other countries as well. and Buckeye fans represent the most and im not even a Buckeye fan.

Buckeye fan clubs and watch parties all over the world. No school really comes close to matching their following. Buckeyes everywhere. Rednecks to gangstees to yuppies to executives. Michigan is a bit more bougie and exclusive.

Alabama truly rules the South, Notre Dame with the Catholics, but Buckeyes are the better known program overall.

On field success is pretty much splitting hairs.


You are not equating blue blood status with wins/championships/percentages or any type of success on the field of play but on who you think has more fans.

Your metrics are bizarre and contain no value.

This.

Nothing wrong with enjoying history, but the obsession with this designation is silly. Especially in this new era of college football

First of all, never visit Winsipedia again and especially don't mention it if you do.

Secondly, , as of today, Alabama has 333 losses and I defy you to show proof of any more losses than that. Please don't be extremely gay and weird and talk about forfeits.

I have provided you with the correct wins and loses and win %'s of all three teams I listed. There is no magic wand and we aren't living in a fairy tale where dreams and fantasies come true if you say they are true.

What I have provided you is the win/loss total and win% of 3 of the best teams in college football and that's it.
