A&M being on this list is crazy. Northwestern has finished ranked as many times as they have this century. Sure they have money, but they've always had that and have produced basically nothing in the last 30 years, minus 1 Big 12 Championship in like 1998 or whatever year that was.
 
No UF or Auburn who have won 3 of the last 25 NCs? Replace Missouri, UNC, Iowa, or Utah.

A&M is probably the worst school on the list. I'd take them down before all those others you mentioned. Maybe UNC. They've been pretty underwhelming this century as well.
 
I mean there are a handful of teams that really don't belong. Replace UNC and A&M with Florida & Auburn

A&M is probably the most constantly overhyped team. There's been 10 occasions since 2000 where they've been ranked preseason and finished unranked. 3 of these times they were preseason top 10

They've only finished with under 4 losses TWO TIMES since 2000, and one of those seasons was the COVID season so throw that out.

I'd say UNC is worse than A&M, they don't get the baseless hype that A&M does though.

UNC has only finished ranked 2 times since 2000 compared to 5 for A&M
 
There are several on here that are head scratchers. But I guess coming up with 24 there will be some that way. I mean Ole Miss, Mizzou, K-State, A&M, UNC, Utah, Wisconsin? What have they really done that makes them stand out above many similar? Recency bias is obviously part of it. I remember pre Bill Snyder K-State was closer to my Miners pathetic level than being "Premier".
 
We haven’t had a cigar since we were all freaking out about the Y2K bug.

Premier?

We’re the equivalent of Seinfeld reruns. Hot shit back then…. But now? Not so much.
 
So the NFL lite?

I mean i get Utah with how they were in the MWC and then to win 2 Pac 12 titles and play for 2 more. would anyone think Boise State should be in there over some of these others? They have the most wins in all of college football since 2000 with the highest win %. Oklahoma has the same wins but lower win % because of more losses.

Utah, Boise and TCU were all good G5s back in the day. While Boise has had to stay G5 while the other two moved up, BSU has more or less maintained.

The list should have stopped after the first three lines. JMO

Yea it's hard to come up with 24 teams who have been consistent enough in performance in the last 25 or so years. You got the obvious at the top but after that it's a whole lot of mixed bag. You could argue a bunch of teams for spots in the bottom half of this.

Good call on Ole Miss. I thought the same thing. Hell, for a long time Ole Miss was like playing Vandy. Hell, OM was who Vandy scheduled for homecoming.

Ole Miss at least has finished in the top 15 in 3 of the last 4 seasons. That's much more than can be said for the Texas A&M and UNCs.

Well, they said their three main criteria were historical success, brand power, and recent competitiveness. Ole Miss is good on number three, but lacking a bit on one and two.

UNC is good on #2 mainly due to basketball.

A&M is lacking in all three
