Your top 5 most disappointing programs of all time

[HuskerOC]

Virginia should be mentioned.

Near one of the best recruiting grounds in the country, beautiful campus, and a great school.

Rutgers. An absolute sleeping giant that has serious potential of some unbelievable untapped resources. They get that thing cranked up, it will feed itself.

actually it is 2. TExas won in 1970. If you use 46 its 3. Such lame ass attempt.

I'm not trying to instigate anything because I respect Texas, but they finished 8-2 and 15th in 1946. In 1970 they lost their bowl game to Notre Dame 24-11 and finished 3rd in the AP. The UPI poll or whatever it was called is not really a valid one. The final rankings of that particular poll came out before bowl season even started which is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Nebraska finished as national champions that season.

Wooooooooo!!!! Seriously, it says of all time (not the last few years). Michigan has won more college football games than anyone else, second highest winning percentage (Notre Dame first).

Just not the important ones. One split NC since the 40's.

Fact Bama has 10 Ap,BCS, or Coaches National Titles. 3 other ones were claimed after undefeated seasons pre AP poll era. 1941 is the only one that is legit BS, but We also were cheated out of 1966 so it evens out.

1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn’t exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.

1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!

1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!

1934 National Championship- Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!

1941 National Championship- This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title..yet Bama claims a National title!

1964 National Championship- While the AP did award the NC to Bama (10-1-0), Arkansas had the better record, 11-0. Alabama played Texas in their bowl and LOST. The AP final poll was before the bowl.

1965 National Championship- The AP gave this to Bama. That year there were three teams with better records than Bama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska 10-1-0.

1973 National Championship- AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course.

1978 National Championship- AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year? USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC to USC.

There are a few more BS ones in there for sure.

LOL at you trying to argue against National titles awarded by the AP or Coaches Poll. The other 5 argments could be made but there is no way to dispute the 10 AP, Coaches, or BCS national titles.

AuBarn fans have no room to talk after them trying to claim (1913,1983,1993,2004) this past year

 

[Wild Turkey]

I'm not the one claiming it's legit like you are. I'm on record saying it's stupid and to my knowledge they haven't officially claimed anything and they shouldn't.

 

[Mistaken4193]

I'm not the one claiming it's legit like you are.

10 of them are legit and cant be argued against. The other 5 you can argue if you want.

 

[4down20]

It doesn't matter what method you use for national championships in history - Alabama has more than you.

Unless you want to pretend like the only national championship is owned by Ohio St.

WTH did that guy do now I want to know the background.

My two favorite teams in the SEC are Alabama and Tennessee but I've always felt Tennessee was a huge under performing program with the great stadium it has, its huge alumni base, money out the wazoo, playing in the SEC, etc. It seems to me Tennessee is always a day late and a dollar short for some reason. Hate to see it.

Traditionally they are the 2nd best SEC team. But for the past decade they've been in the shitter big time. We've won the past 8 on them.

North Carolinas problem is they will always be a Basketball school first.

So what?

Ohio State
Florida
Michigan State
UCLA
Wisconsin
Louisville

Why can't UNC be on a list with those schools? They've got all the resources they need to have a successful program but they're not.
