SportsHoopla's Most Storied Program Championship - (1) Oklahoma vs (2) Notre Dame

[occupant]

I'm sensing an inferiority complex in this thread. . . .

Scoreboard you tater boiling alcoholic altar boy enthusiast.

ND's list

163-17-11 (.8534)



OU's list

82-16-8 (.7736)

So if you take out all of the scrubbishness of both teams' records and subtract (191-106 = 85) looks like OU's gonna be credited 85 more quality wins than the ol' Diocese Domers.

ND is storied, that is true but no more so than my beloved Sooners.

1. Oklahoma Sooners
Total points: 1,968
Positives: When you look at the big picture of college football since 1936, no program has achieved greatness as consistently as Oklahoma. We didn't even count the fact that Oklahoma owns the longest win streak in FBS history (47) or leads the nation with a .765 winning percentage since World War II. The 1956 Oklahoma team catapulted the Sooners past Notre Dame to the top of the Prestige Rankings, and it's been in the top spot ever since. OU's seven national titles have spanned four decades. The Sooners have finished in the final poll's top 5 an astounding 29 times. But the real fuel for OU's rise to the top of our rankings has been its conference dominance. The Sooners finished the regular season with at least a share of their conference's best record a stunning 39 times, seven more than any other program in the country.

Negatives: Oklahoma was downright mediocre in the '90s. The Sooners ranked 51st in that decade's rankings, directly behind Hawaii. OU also didn't have a single major bowl win and suffered through three losing seasons. The Oklahoma program also has been punished by the NCAA to varying degrees six separate times in its history.
Through the decades: Through 1958: 1st | 1968: 1st | 1978: 1st | 1988: 1st | 1998: 1st
Did you know? Oklahoma has been voted the No. 1 team in the country by the AP a record 97 times



.4. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Total points: 1,579
Positives: A true blue blood of the sport, Notre Dame is synonymous with college football. The Fighting Irish won four national titles in a seven-year span in the '40s. The Golden Domers had another golden era in the '70s, when a national-high 18 consensus All-Americans helped them win it all two more times. Notre Dame was also the early dominator in our Prestige Rankings through 1955. The next season was a historic one, with ND's Paul Hornung winning the Heisman Trophy despite being on a 2-8 Irish squad. Notre Dame is still the all-time leader in consensus All-Americans with 77.
Negatives: Notre Dame haters would be quick to notice that the Irish earned almost a third of their Prestige Points before 1950. Of course, Notre Dame's recent struggles have been well documented, but we have to continue to pile it on here. ND has just one bowl win since 1994. Since 2000, Notre Dame has a third of the first-round draft picks that Boston College has (2 to 6). And since 1998, Notre Dame ranks 30th in the country, behind four non-BCS schools and both Oregon teams.
Through the decades: Through 1958: 2nd | 1968: 2nd | 1978: 2nd | 1988: 4th | 1998: 2nd
Did you know? Since 1995, Notre Dame has fewer consensus All-Americans than Northwestern.

IMO, if you are not a CFB fan or just a very casual one... you don't know much about OU's history.

ND on the other hand....

How many movies have been made about OU football?

That shitty Brian Bosworth movie doesn't count.

I would love to change my vote. I root for Stoops, being from the Youngstown area. If this were labeled as "most accomplished" I would vote the Sooners. Unfortunately, it is not.

And there it is...

Ah, so it's a fashion show more than a competition based on merits and accomplishments. k...

Didn't know there were so many Irish nutswingers.

So ND is like the Kardashians of CFB. All notoriety but not much substance.

Not much substance? Really?

I have no dog in this fight. The Terps will never, ever, ever be in this discussion under any circumstances ever.

But when I first read the question my immediate thought was "Notre Dame". As someone else stated, "storied" and "accomplished" are not the same thing. Both programs have great histories. ND's is simply more widely recognized.

And that's why Notre dame wins this.

Congrats to ND on winning this entire competition.
Some people took it wrong. Some people took it right. Most just enjoyed it.
I thought the best one was the first Nebraska/Ohio St matchup.
Sometimes I just couldn't stop laughing.

@iowajerms did a fantastic job with this and kept it going all summer and was fun shit.
Everyone should give him a callout for the good work.

Now, just 18 days until some real football.

I'm just pissed I had to wait until now to troll.
