When talking about 10 year spans, 5 years is pretty important don't you think?

Yeah and when 15 years of a 25 year stretch are in the books and Michigan isn't even considered a top 30 program for 15 of those years, how the hell am I supposed to consider them a top 10 program when the two 25 year periods that have come and gone have them on average at 10? Honestly, if you include their numbers from 1941-1950(#2 program) and that last 15 years, they aren't a top 10 program in the last 75 years, according to your website.

But you can't average the rankings of the two decades without averaging the rankings of every other team on the list dipshit. You have to average all win percentages of everyone and re-rank everyone within that 15 years. Go for it. But we're talking a 65 year span of consistency, for which I've proven Michigan to be a top 10 team.

Just for comparison's sake I'll use Ohio State:

2010-Present - 4th in win %
2000-2009 - 4th in win %
1990-1999 - 10th in win %
1980-1989 - 16th in win %
1970-1979 - 6th in win %
1960-1969 - 5th in win %
1950-1959 - 12th in win %
1940-1949 - 25th in win %
1930-1939 - 12th in win %
1920-1929 - 75th in win %

Ohio State has been far more consistent IMO.

Nebraska

1900 - 1910 - 8th
1910 - 1920 - 9th
1920 - 1930 - 18th
1930 - 1940 - 8th
1940 - 1950 - 96th (ouch)
1950 - 1960 - 92nd (ouch)
1960 - 1970 - 6th
1970 - 1980 - 4th
1980 - 1990 - 2nd
1990 - 2000 - 2nd
2000 - 2010 - 18th
2010 - 2015 - 25th

I see Nebraska's football program was "FINISHED" in the 40's and 50's. LOL

No more than someone suggesting .5 of a national title exists.

Well there's actual definitive proof that the OSU-Miami game should've never even gone to OT, meaning OSU would've won in regulation. Do you have definitive proof that michigan was better than Nebraska that year and deserves to be acknowledged as the full, undisputed champ that year?

8th in winning %
t16th in National Championships

Top 10 is certainly up for debate. I guess if your strictly going by winning % sure they are a top 10 program, which given their lack of National Championships I guess is really the only case to be made.

 

[jjc2009]

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.

That's what makes FSU, and Miami for that matter nouveau riche. Blue bloods are exactly what Michigan is, trading on their lineage.

The blue bloods always look down on the nouveau riche for that reason, even if the nouveau riche have more and recent success.

 

[Texas Jefe]

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.

Five Winningest Programs in College Football History (through week 11 of 2015, so can add a few):

1. Michigan 923
2. Notre Dame 891
3. Texas 885
4. Nebraska 879
5. OSU 873

And yet your win % is lower than Alabama's.

 

[Texas Jefe]

The more interesting question: The top 8 programs since 2000.

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. LSU
4. OU
5. Florida
6. USC
7. Texas
8. Oregon

just wanted to show this again, thought it was interesting.

spin it how you want. Alabama has been on a run or all runs, after having other great runs in it's past. Everyone knows Bama is the top dog now.

You dont have to spit on anyone else who might have some good numbers over the years.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Alledged blueblood all-time vs the other alledged bluebloods:


1. Texas 84-63-6(.549) 61-44-5 vs OU
2. ND.....95-78-7(.527) 46-36-5 vs USC
3. Mich...92-79-8(.512) 58-48-6 vs OSU
4. USC...70-67-3(.500) 13-9-1 vs OSU
5. OU....98-116-9(.439) 45-38-3 vs Neb.
6. OSU...67-80-7(.435)
7. Bama..17-22-2(.415)
8. Neb.....56-75-4(.412)

here ya go 4down20, from one of yourn to boot.

You are on top now, no need to shit on everybody else

I didn't shit on Texas because you have the 60's to fall back on. I said - if Texas doesn't start doing better then you would be in the same boat. In 10 years you'll only have 1 national championship in the past 50 years.

Florida St not on the list huh...


This blue blood list has some grey hairs

I was tempted to throw in Florida and Auburn, but they've kind of been a roller coaster. Not as consistent. Ohio St was better than average until Urban showed up. Oklahoma has been consistently around the top 10 but nothing special in the top 5.
