Mandel's College Football Heirarchy

[Wamu]

Gil Dobie - Wikipedia <--- I didn't even have to look. Now scram.

Well congrats to your Huskies on going 6-0-1 all the way back in 1916. Tell me again about all the undefeated season you claim they had.

List of Washington Huskies football seasons - Wikipedia

I'm willing to give Gil Dobie & Washington credit for their minor undefeated seasons from 1912 through 1917 when they were only playing six or seven games - and some of those were against high school and club teams. Prior to 1912, football was still a developing hybrid sport with some elements of rugby & some of soccer, with changes almost every season - and some locales playing by different rules than others.

1912 is the year that modern college football began, but UW was hardly playing a major college schedule back then. And what they - or any other team - did back then hardly has any affect on how they are currently perceived.

Right?
Like do you think any school would pitch "we were undefeated for 9 season in a row back when your great great great grandfather was alive. that string of undefeated seasons over 100 years ago is what we hope will bring in the best talent today."

Careful now, you guys are going to get the Michigan fans upset with that kind of talk.

But 100 years ago is just as important as today!

Don't let these West "By God" Virginia fans see you post such nonsense..

People take offense to this guys opinions of their programs?

Stay tuned for my list of programs where I use the typical "top tier" "middle tier" etc to categorize them and not some cute little roundtable pizza categories.

Stop lying. The Huskies don't have Natty's. They spilt the title w/ The U back in '91. So since you insist that Washington has multiple Natty's exactly which years other than '91 did they win it all?

They still have .1/2 a national championship last I checked

FBS Football


And if you look at their trophy.Im pretty sure they got it at McDonalds

Split championship. SC split one with LSU as well. But even if you want to consider it a national championship. Washington would still only have 1

Why is Nebraska listed under both kings and barons?

Why is Nebraska listed under both kings and barons?

West Virginia in there twice also. Stanford is in the second group. I don't get that at all. Not sure I agree with Georgia in that second tier. I might be projecting there, but they have access every advantage to be in that top group. Clemson seems high. They are certainly building something there, but historically that seems high

Why is Nebraska listed under both kings and barons?

Bad copy and paste. They are crossed off in the Kings portion of the article.
WV is crossed out of the Barons.

 

[starbigd]

Yeah this list makes no sense.

Nebraska is a baron, as well as Texas A&M????

REALLY? Nebraska should be in the King category, and A&M is at BEST a knight

 

[The Q]

UConn is ranked way too high...

 

[mrwallace2ku]

until we do something great, let us sit in the rear with the rest of the gear...

How can North Carolina be in any sort of hierarchy?

They set up a special hierarchy, made available specifically for their inclusion, which required only one cut-and-paste plagiarized paper to receive credit.

 

[Deep Creek]

Illinois is higher than Minnesota? WTF?
