Rank Your Top 10 CFB Programs of All Time

There are plenty of programs who have maintained success. The Ivy's had a great run as well. So did programs like Minnesota and Pittsburgh but they came to an end. All time Greats never came to an end.

Minnesota and Pitt were good back in the day for a brief time and never really gained success after... you are talking like 2 good decades out of 12. Where as for Nebraska you are talking about 2 bad ones out of 12 and those bad ones are still a lot better than some other teams. Minnesota and Pitt have thirteen 10+ winning seasons COMBINED. Nebraska has 28 by themselves. All teams have their upps and downs. Oklahoma must be shit because they never won a conference title in the 90s right? :rolleyes2:

You can place your goal posts wherever you want, I am still waiting on your list and then your justification for that list.

lol well you need to have thicker skin. This started because I was talking shit about Oregon and posting memes given their bowl game. He couldn't take it. Look at iowajerms greatest coach thread, RobotDevil and I are in disagreement over multiple things, but it never devolved into bs.

Did Oklahoma ever go 20+ years without winning a conference title?

All this talk about 2 decades of mediocrity made me realize that the last two decades are by far the best 2 decade run in UGA history. And I still wanna burn it to the ground and start from scratch

Honestly, I think part of it was Richt waking UGA fans up to the 'what could be' but never getting there himself. So now UGA fans want that 'what could be' and feel like crap not achieving it... especially with the solid recruiting classes.

Moving the goal posts again huh.... so is the standard winning one every decade or not? Or are you just trying to pull whatever you can out of your ass to diss on Nebraska? LMAO. sad.

No goal posts have been move, you're changing the criteria. I used Ohio State as an example of consistency. My criteria has been the same. If you haven't won a conference championship in the 21st century, you aren't an all time great program. There are plenty of programs who used to be great. But if you're at best mediocre in the modern era (BCS and CFP era), it's extremely difficult to still consider you an all time great. Look at UCLA basketball. They were the greatest dynasty in college basketball history. Are they still a top 10 program? Of course not.

It started with Jim Donnan. He brought us out of the hell Ray Goff left us in, he just couldn’t beat any of the rivals, then Richt came and we started beating Auburn and GA Tech consistently, but he could never beat Florida and there was always that one game per year we’d lose to a mediocre team. Kirby has brought the recruiting to a whole new level, but his game day decisions leave a lot to be desired. I know we played in a NCG under Kirby, but we would have at least made the playoffs twice under Richt had the 4 team playoff been in place, and came within 5 yards of winning one in 2012(nobody will convince me ND would have beat us)

So for "all time" you only want to consider the "21st century" or at minimum clearly weigh it with bias compared to ALL TIME... never mind not having complete data, just so long as they were Oregons good years amirite? :rolleyes2: Even though you admit they wouldn't even be in the discussion. I'll bite, why is winning the conference so important to you? Nebraska has still been to a few CCG in this time frame, just hasn't won them. So forget every other stat and tell me why winning the CCG matters more than all the others?

Nonsense. Still waiting on that list... I figure its taking a while because you're trying to make sense of the silliness you said as well.

You aren't following, I'm not saying the 21st century is the only thing that matters. But you can't go 0 for the century and still call yourself an all time great. Being an all time great is about consistently being great.

And you're going to be waiting for a while, I have zero interest in going through all the records from 1920-1960 and decided whether Ohio State or Oklahoma should be ranked higher. But I can tell you with certainty that Nebraska should not be on that list for the same reason Harvard, Princeton and Penn shouldn't.

Hard to follow nonsense. Why is winning the conference more important than any other stat? We have been to like 4 or 5 CCGs in this time frame, just haven't won them. So why is winning that one game more important than anything else? Given you don't give a shit about any other stat.

I'm gonna be waiting because you can make sense of the stupid shit you say. Nebraska doesn't have a conference title since 1999 so that automatically eliminates them from being a top program all-time because.... reasons. Never mind that they are 2nd all time in that statistic. Never mind that they are top ten in numerous other statistics all time as well, but because of that one thing....

damn you sound dumb. But hey, you do you.

We can look at other stats. Over the last two decades, what BCS or NY6 bowls has Nebraska won? Surely if they were so close to a conference title, they at least won one of those games.

Surely in a conversation about all time, one would like to discuss all time... figures. You're so disingenuous it's truly pathetic and sad.

Wanna hear another great all time stat?
Oregon sucks

Interesting that Ohio State has played 11 more games than Oklahoma which skews the all time record slightly. Both are 2 - 2 vs each other in head to head matchup winning both games on each others home fields. Very similar programs.
 
Just read a click bait article from an obviously highly credible website ranking the top 30 programs of all-time. I'll save you the clicking and incessant pop up ads. The top 10 were:

The Greatest College Football Programs Of All Time—Ranked

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

Interesting that there are schools in there like Princeton, Illinois, Minnesota and Illinois but no sign of Penn State. Also, if Nebraska weren't such a dumpster fire for the past 20 years, I'd bet they move up into the top 5.

We don't have one of these over here yet, so fuck it! Let's get it started. Rank em, challenge others, whatever. Mine have changed a little from the last time this came up on the SH so...

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.
