[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 610914, member: 932"] Ok, I’ve been drinking, so this is a bit of a rant, but here it goes... Should dominant minor league baseball teams be considered amongst the greatest baseball franchises of all time? And what does Junior college fo FBS have to do with being one of the best football programs of the last 150 years. Impressive, sure...but better than winning four national titles? And not four in a row, but four in four different decades. Same argument for a&m and Washington. Congrats on your wins. Do you have four titles? You mention peers, so what about the strength of schedule? Did Washington play Alabama every year? Did they play Notre Dame every decade? I looked. Washington played #1 and #2 on the list a combined 13 times to our combined 88 times (16 for a&m). We are 21-28-3 against Alabama (much worse against Notre Dame...we’ve lost 29 of 35...but at least we played them). I’m pretty sure only Auburn has a better winning percentage against Bama for the teams they played regularly, and there’s only like 3 other teams with more wins against them (just barely...all in like 20-30 more games). None of those D2 or D3 schools could have done that These are such ridiculously trivial rankings. Oh, and we are like the 34th best team of all time, but the best player, best coach, and best assistant coach awards are all named after Tech guys...hmm, ok. [/QUOTE]
