I don't really consider Michigan to be honest. They haven't really accomplished anything special over the past 100 years.

I understand why they get listed, but in terms of performance - meh.

Texas is close to the same boat. I understand, but when it comes to performance, I don't see anything really special.

Both schools win the most. Not the most votes, but the most actual football games.

I understand why. But you don't really stand out that much in terms of national championships in recent history.

I guess so, if you're in your teens.

The 60's is the only reason I put you close to the same boat rather than in the same boat. Otherwise you have only 1 since 1970, aka the past 45+ years.

In other words, Texas is fading.

You said 100 years, not "recent history". Michigan has 7 national titles in the last 100 years....

Dang it, you're trolling and I bit.

Yes dont put down that one shared MI NC since the 40's. It still counts.

You're just mad about the 90's.

In the poll era you have 3 NC, and 2 of them are split. In the past 50 years, you have 1 split title.

It's mostly old news.

Florida St for example gets page 2, and it's because they didn't start playing football until the 80's and they only have recent history. They have 3 titles, while also maintaining a top team for a ridiculous amount of years. In this day and age, they are way more blue blood like than Michigan is.

I understand you get listed because of what you did 100 years ago, but I don't really think of Michigan in the same way that I do others on the list.

No argument, well..some, but you said 100 years. Are you now changing your qualification?

I'm not trolling. As I said, I understand why you get listed, but Texas really needs to be more consistent.

10 years ago Alabama wasn't getting respect in the same way either and for the same reasons.

It was a figure of speech in regards to 90% of your national championships coming from ancient history and compared to more modern teams you haven't really been top tier lately.

Texas last won in 2005
ND: 1988
OU: 2000
USC: 2004
Nebraska: 1995

not sure how that eliminates Texas.

Only by people with no appreciation for the game. ANyone using a 5 year window is lacking perspective

It doesn't eliminate you. I understand why you get listed. But there was a large gap before 2005 and you've fallen hard in recent years.
