When college football rankings go really wrong

Nothing to add, I just liked the picture of the Song girls the article started with.

Thanks for posting this.. I think I'd have Notre Dame a little higher on my list.

Using every final AP Top 25 Poll since 1935, College Football News has developed a formula to accurately rank the nation's top programs.

Yeah an All-Time list only missing 35+ years of data

No, but none of those teams have a history of being awesome or anything. Florida had one stretch under Spurrier and one during the Tebow years but nothing special beyond that.

Actually, Clemson and Florida had similar dominant and slow periods going back nearly 70 years.

Compare eras:

2010s

Florida:.....70-44 (.614)
Clemson:.103-22 (.824) - Clemson by a ton

2000s

Florida......100-30 (.769) - Florida by a ton
Clemson.....79-47 (.627)

1990s

Florida......102-22-1 (.820) - Florida by a ton
Clemson.....69-47-0 (.594)

1986-1989

Florida........26-21-0 (.553)
Clemson......38-8-2 (.813) - Clemson by a ton

1980-1985

Florida.........50-17-3 (.736) - Identical
Clemson.......49-17-2 (.735)

1970s

Florida..........58-53-3 (.522) - Identical
Clemson.......56-54-3 (.509)

1960s

Florida..........70-31-4 (.686) - Florida by a ton
Clemson........50-48-2 (.510)

1950s

Florida...........53-42-6 (.554)
Clemson.........64-32-5 (.658) - Clemson by a substantial margin

Florida sent their top players to the service in the mid 1940s...

When air conditioning became affordable and the population began in the late 1950s, Florida's rise was dramatic. From the 1970s through the mid-80s, we were nearly identical. Sanctions crushed us in the late 80s, but we made up for it in the 1990s and 2000s...

From 1950-2018:

Florida:......529-260-17 (.666)
Clemson:...508-275-15 (.645)

Not far off over the past 70 years...

Ole Miss has a winning pct of .560.

There is no fucking way in hell, they belong in the Top 25.

Nice to see Tennessee in the top 10. They're going deep into the history of the program. Hopefully, Tennessee football will regain its competitiveness under current leadership.

Whoregon must have finished 26th.

Shit, after kicking your ass 12 or 20 years running I'd expect a little humility.

And return to their glory days of the late 1800's...

Looks to me like a tie between Ohio State and Oklahoma, going by the points, which would be accurate.

And we can both claim Baker now.
