Rage bait to generate clicks

Realistically top 5 should be

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Georgia
4. LSU
5. Oklahoma

What did Oklahoma accomplish since 2000 while playing in the pathetically weak Big 12 that makes them worthy of being 5th?
They must have really put some whuppins on Texas Tech & Kansas.

Did win a natty and remained pretty damn consistent. I thought about putting Florida over them but they haven't been good in a good minute other than the COVID season

Bama sucked before Saban.
Ohio State probably deserves the nod.
Better record overall and 3 National Championships.
3 different Head Coaches with National Championships since 2000 is pretty crazy.
I have no beef with them being 1
This explains it perfectly. Ohio State has been the most consistent program over the past 30 seasons.

So for the SEC

2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma
4. Georgia
5. LSU
9. Texas
10. Florida
15. Auburn

No one else from the SEC in the Top 25. Looks about right to me actually. I might would have swapped Florida and Texas.

Same national championships as LSU, didn't have to play Bama every year.

If Bama and LSU weren't in the same conference, much less division, you'd have seen them square off almost every year in the post season.

The difference between LSU and Ohio State is you guys had to fire 2 of your coaches who won titles because they lost a lot, and Ohio State's coaches kept on winning but stepped down. With that said, your 3 titles is still impressive.

Some in the B1G try to hurt Ohio State every time they get a chance. If we did what Michigan did, then we would not be allowed to compete.

LSU in 2000’s

National Champions 2003
National Champions 2007
National Championship game 2011
National Champions 2019

This is clearly better than UGA in 2000’s and dramatically better than Oklahoma. LSU should be #3. List is a sham.

Oklahoma over LSU makes absolutely zero sense. LSU with multiple natty's and arguably the greatest team in history.


Yeah OU way too high

I’d probably have Georgia at 3, LSU at 4 and maybe Clemson over OU.

I could see an argument for LSU being a bit lower due to inconsistency and the last couple years of Os tenure. But not sure who you could put ahead of LSU.

Certainly not OU.

Les Miles did not lose a lot. He just couldn't beat Bama.

Ed Orgeron? When it comes to him, Ask yourself this: do you really think he could have won a national championships at Ohio State? Or any other program?

The fact that he was able to win one at LSU says more about our program than the fact he got let go.

Your coaches kept on winning in an inferior conference. Ohio State would not be as successful as they have been if they were in the SEC West.

shite... Georgia would not have their success if they were in the SEC West

Too many poor seasons to put LSU above UGA.

Shot list. SC and Texas have one title in 25 years. They’re grossly overrated. Florida should be higher and Oregon should be below the top 25.

No way OSU are over Bama. More wins, more NC titles, etc.. the list goes on
