God damn it. I'm caught in a mail loop.

God damn it. I'm caught in a male loop.

Fify since you are a Michigan Man.

I must have missed the definition of modern. I was thinking more along the lines of the last 25 years or so.

That's a fair point. Modern hasn't been defined in the context of this subject.

Purdue, Vanderbilt, Kansas, Oregon State & Wake Forest.

How do you know he didn't mean Utah State, New Mexico State, North Carolina A&T, or UC Davis?

I don't know I just assumed that he mean't A&M.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

South Carolina has Will Muschamp as their HC. He's pure fvcking shit. He's lucky to be coaching D1 tbh.

 

[jon2tanman]

Oregon had their chance and blew it. They will NEVER win it all.

I believe Oregon winning a national championship.Is listed as the first sign of the Apocalypse

 

[GoldRusher]

More likely than South Carolina

ChanticlEERS.....

I guess it depends on your definition of modern.

Fourteen different teams won or shared a national title in the last 25 years (Alabama, FSU, Nebraska, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Miami (FL), Ohio St., LSU, USC, Texas, Auburn, Clemson).

Over the last 50 years there have been 22 teams with a shared or outright title. (8 of the above teams, plus Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Georgia, Penn St., BYU, Colorado, Georgia Tech, Washington).

If you go back 75 years you add 9 more schools for a total of 31 teams (the above schools, plus Army, Michigan St., Maryland, UCLA, Iowa, Syracuse, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Arkansas).

And if you go back 100 years, 8 more schools pop up, for a total of 39 different colleges with titles (all the above schools, plus Harvard*, Texas A&M, California, Cornell*, Princeton*, Illinois, Stanford & TCU). (*teams with an asterisk are no longer FBS schools.)

You can go back another 5 years to get to what I consider the beginning of the modern college football era (1912), but it doesn't add any new champions. So, in 105 years of modern college football, there have only been 39 different schools to claim a title.

 

[BamaDude]

If I were picking teams that have gone over 25 years since their last title, the most probable breakthroughs are: Washington and Penn St., with Notre Dame & Pittsburgh as distant darkhorses.

For the 50-, 75-, & 100-year droughts, Stanford could be someone to consider.

For teams that have never won, I would consider Louisville & Oklahoma St. as perhaps the best contenders, with Virginia Tech & South Florida as possibilities.

the ARIZONA schools

Every 5 years or so, they are always the answer for "next big thing." It is almost a cliche now.

It started in the late 1960s and 1970s. It was all but certain the arizona schools would become superpowers.

It is like "SOCCER will be huge in the USA" predictions that have happened every year for the last 5 decades.

Sooner or later it will happen. It is actually very puzzling that it hasnt happened for either school.

They have everything possible necessary thing to be superpowers.

 

[stanford the manford]

Washington is going to pump Stanford this year like a choir boy at the Vatican.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

In the history of the AP rankings (1936) only 27 teams have ever won a NC.
25 of them are current P5 schools. The only other two are Army in '44 & '45
and BYU is '84.

It's pretty much a closed club.

That's my feelz on the subject. Clemson might have seemed like a fresh face to some but they already won a title before.

Every year, about 10-15 teams might have a legit chance at one but it seems to boil down to about half a dozen blue bloods by November
