Best School to have never won a National Championdship/pick your time frame

[outofyourmind]

It's close in my mind, West Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Going back to 1996, VT has won more games, but long term, I think it goes to West Virginia.
Since 1960, WVU is 22nd in all time wins, and VT at 25th.

I'm going with the longer time frame.
They seem close.

WV is one of only 9 P5 teams to have never had a losing calendar Decade in its history ('00-'09)

I have no idea, but I bet right now Oregon is looking over at UCF thinking "You can do that?"

 

[Red_Chaos]

Navy?

 

[NolePride]

Back to the original title.

This could be an interesting thread. Since the polls started naming NC's in 1936 only 28
teams have won a NC. 26 of 65 P5 teams and 2 of 65 non-P5 teams.

 

[olympicoscar]

UCLA would be a contender.

 

[Tomhusker]

Penn State in the 70's had a couple of teams that should have won it, I think.

 

[Wamu]

Vanderbilt.

 

[outofyourmind]

Arizona State could be up there.

Fuck you and fuck you

Vanderbilt.

Vandy would have 2 but the awards were retroactive Berryman QPRS and they don't claim them. They were 7-0-1 in 1921 and 8-0-1 in 1922. Information from Wiki: Vanderbilt Commodores football - Wikipedia

 

[Chewbaccer]

Oregon, Wisconsin or Virginia Tech

 

[OregonDucks]

A list in college football where it pains me to put Oregon at the top.

 

[outofyourmind]

Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a good one.
Might bet the best one so far.
Maybe.

But only 14 Conference Championships probably knocks them down a few spots.

Dude, most on here hate your mlb choice or nhl choice more than your college team.

 

[wazzu31]

The 95 WSU team. We were the only team to have a lead on Nebraska so we should've gotten a split of that title.

Ya'll were close during the George Welsh era... Georgia Tech stole your half of the title the one year IIRC?

First ACC team to beat FSU... I remember it like it was yesterday. REALLY thought Warrick Dunn made it on that last play (Still thought it was dumb to run it from 4 or yards out as well.)...

That aside, UNC had some decent teams in the 90s under Mack Brown too... FSU always got in their way as well.

Oregon had their run, WVU and Va Tech, yes...

Wisconsin is funny because they sucked for SOOOOO long and have now been pretty solid for over a decade at least...

UCLA had their shot during the Cade McNown era.

One DOES stick out to me I think... Texas A&M... They had a run in like the late 80s and 90s where they were literally the only team worth a damn in the old SWC (sorry Texas, it was true) and they simply blew it every year and I don't think EVER even played for a National Championship (Might be wrong on that, but don't remember for sure...)... Anyway, for A&M it was ripe for the taking and they just refused.
