Your thoughts?

I think LSU should be higher than Penn St. UCLA should not be higher than Washington...:shock:

Good Job. Something else to debate...

The authors of this article made a very significant qualification for their list...only seasons after 1936 are considered. That completely erases the Knute Rockne era at Notre Dame (and also 3 of Alabama's national championships, Aaron. Eight of Michigan's). If it wasn't for that, I don't see how you couldn't put Notre Dame at number one.

And where is Texas Tech on this list??? How quickly we forget the NINE Border Conference Championships they won. Not to mention the two SWC Championships!!!!!!!!!


Just kidding.

Michigan better step it up in the next few years or they will be off the list. :rofl:

It appears the war of northern aggression is still ongoing - please espn, just stop trying to find reasons why the sec isn't the best conference - we are bored with the conversation!

Great programs on that ESPN list. Does anyone remember Texas and Texas A&M in the Southwest Conference. Nebraska and Oklahoma in the Big 8 or Penn State before the Big10. Ten years from now, we still probably see all those teams in the BCS or playoffs.
