Did your team make the Blue Blood list?

I must say, @ktg8trgrl, that's a fine avi pic. Lookin' good.

Neyland's maxims are the essence of college football. Every coach worth being employed can and will quote them as keys to victory. Even Lucifer's Vessel, Nick Saban has cited Neyland's maxims as key to Alabama's victories more than once.

Tennessee's football program has quite a history. There have been other greatly successful coaches of the Volunteers, but Neyland's impact upon CFB and his enduring legacy place UT in rarefied air. There is no list of great CFB programs without Tennessee.

OSU went 1-7-1 back in 1897. I think that was the worst record we've had

1895 0-1

I hate using the refs as an excuse but yes that was a BS call. The real problems started way before the 0-12 season.

The real problem?

I'll have to look that up... Wikipedia didn't show that

Alabama lost their opening game in 1955, to Rice, 20-0. They lost to Vanderbilt a week later and TCU the week after. They went 0-10, had four scoreless games, never lost by fewer than 15 points and scored 16 total points in four home games. It remains the only winless season in program history.

I would beg to differ..

Ah yes, the days of Ears Whitworth.

I hope he burns in the deepest pit of Hell.

John Heisman, Alonzo Stagg, and Pop Warner also made great contributions to the formative years of CFB. But no one lists Georgia Tech, Pacific, or Stanford among blue bloods. You need more than a great coach to get that.

There is a gap between Nebraska/Texas and Tennessee/Penn St. for the “cutoff”. Tennessee is in a second tier with Florida, Georgia, Auburn, and LSU. Those programs lack the metrics for top tier blue bloods, though among them Tennessee does have the longest history of being strong.

Yeah, everything I've seen says 4-4-1 for 1895

 

[Diego Roll Tide]

Wikipedia has it at 4-4-2.

Oops, the last one I looked at had one tie. I looked at Wikipedia a while ago, and assumed it was one as well (remembered it showed 4 wins)

Worst Ohio St season I could find was 1947, they went 2-6-1.

In the 1800's they went 1-7-1 one season, apparently.
