1. Bama
2. Ohio St
3. Oklahoma
4. Notre Dame
5. USC
6. Nebraska
7. Michigan
8. Texas
9. LSU
10. Florida St

Honorable mentions #11 Penn State, #12 Tennessee

And Texas and Michigan are practically interchangable.

The debate between Oklahoma and Ohio State is a good one. OU has 50 conference championships to Osu's 40. OU has 7 Heisman trophy winners to Osu's 6. OU has a 29 - 23 bowl record to Ohio States 22 - 24.

I think he is applying some recency bias a bit towards this looking at this century. Overall, I'd give the edge to Oklahoma.

And just a quick edit, while you are technically correct on the Heisman trophy winners, they have the same amount of actual trophies having the only two time winner.

That would be the legendary Archie Griffin. Good call on that!
 
I wouldn’t include any teams that haven’t won a conference title in the 21st century. Otherwise we need to have the service academies and Ivy League schools up there as well

So it kind of depends on how you look into stuff. I look at them as having the same amount of natties (sorry Ohio St you did not win in 1970... neither did Texas). Kinda like when I look up Michigan and it says 11 NCs.... I laugh, which is why Michigan is lower on my list than I am sure others will have them. But Ohio St has a better record, more wins, more times ranked, and more times ranked at #1. The last two demonstrating stronger consistency of being good over a period of time. I don't care about draft picks. Oklahoma does have the conference title edge and a slight bowl game edge and that does matter, but I don't think that out does the previously mentioned by itself.

It is all about what YOU personally favor more. When I look at the side by side comparison, I edge Ohio St over Oklahoma, but barely.

I would probably have Miami instead of Florida State, but the rest looks good to me.
 
FSU was a latecomer to relevance and the stay there a pretty short period of time as you are talking 1993 to 2013 so just 20 years. I just don't think they deserve to be on a top 10 list.

Texas has had one national championship in the last 50 years.

LMAO. Well one thing is certain, no ones top ten will contain a team that doesn't have a national title.
Otherwise we need to have the service academies and Ivy League schools up there as well
Why, because Princeton won their 63rd national title in 1907? :meh:

FSU has done A LOT in the short time they have been around, that is why I have them where I do.
 
To me, what you’ve done in modern times far outweighs what you did when the forward pass was a radical concept. Historical success factors in, just what you’ve done this millennium carries more weight.

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Oklahoma
4. USC
5. Notre Dame
6. Texas
7. Nebraska
8. Michigan
9. LSU
10. Tennessee

Auburn has a stronger resume this millennium than TN does.

They’re a newcomer, but their relevance streak was really from the late 70’s-2015

They do, but all time success still weighs in. If we’re just ranking the 10 best programs of this millennium, I think Georgia would be on the list

We played them every year pretty much through the 80's and I can promise you they were fighting for relevance for most of those years.

I agree. So no Oregon or Nebraska on the list
