Where were your seats for those?

I dunno about 5, but in terms of stretches, Pre WW2 Minnesota has to rank up there.

1934-1941:

54-9-1
5 National Championships
7 Big Ten Championships
4 undefeated seasons

 

[Voltaire26]

Michigan 1901-1905

55-1-1
PF - 2821
PA - 40

4 National Championships

 

[WABLTY]

Also, Oklahoma's coach during their run learned it from the coach being a player during Minnesota's run IIRC. Fun continuation there.

And I should have clarified, those were 4 AP NC's, not random undefeated seasons with a claim on a NC. And the only reason it wasn't 5 was the AP didn't do one in 35.

Basically, they started handing out a nationally semi-recognized NC and MN pulled a 'Bama by being almost year in, year out the best until we got into world war and everyone went off to fight.

I think I will go with Alabama 200

62-12
3 National Championships
5 straight 11+ win seasons
3 conference championships in an era of SEC dominance.
2534 for, 925 against.
14 shutouts

38 ranked opponents played in a 5 year span vs 13 for Oklahoma...just for reference Boise St played 9 ranked opponents from 2005-2009.

So yes, Oklahoma did all that, but the Big 7 only had one other ranked team during that span #20 Colorado in 1956...seems very WAC or Moutain West like.

 

[TheReal_NU]

1993-1997 huskers
60-3. .952 winning %
3 National Championships.
3 undefeated seasons.
Final rankings 3,1,1,6,1

 

[HuskerOC]

Alright, you asked for it...

Nebraska 93-97
60-3
3 National Titles

Could have easily been 5 straight.

 

[antone112]

Nebraska 93-97
60-3
3 national championships (missed fg away from a 4th)
4 conference championships

 

[antone112]

Last 3 have pretty good cases.

Ole Miss and Texas A&M were ranked this year for Bama. WTF does that even mean?

 

[jjc2009]

ND Football. 1945-49

Coaches Hugh Devore/Frank Leahy

5 year record 43-2-3 (the two losses were Devore's in 1945)

3 national championships

2 Heisman winners. Lujack and Hart

 

[Rolltide94]

Ole Miss and Texas A&M were ranked this year for Bama. WTF does that even mean?

Not EOY they weren't...and it means that the rest of the big 7(intentional lower case) was shit from 54-58.

 

[RegentDenali]

Washington Huskies - HC Gil Dobie

Didn't lose a game for 9 seasons (1908 - 1916). 9 Seasons, 0 Losses.

Do not want to sound like idiot Sooners fan. Must resist bragging about OU record against Alabama for past 54 years. Must not show envy of Alabama success. Must not mention recent Sugar Bowl against Tide. Do not want to sound like jerk.

Seriously, good luck Monday. Pulling for ya.
