[QUOTE="GT99, post: 611156, member: 4742"] I think most people are looking purely at national titles. Winning Percentage is the biggest overall contributor here - criteria copied in below. 2 of our national titles fall before the "poll Era" and are discounted by 50%. As I said, it's subjective criteria applied objectively to all teams. And no, I wouldn't include random facts like "first team to attend and win all 4 major bowls" as part of the criteria. :) " [B]Dominance, 20%[/B] -- number of national championships [B]Peak strength, 20%[/B] -- winning percentage for best 50 seasons in program history [B]Since integration, 30%[/B] -- winning percentage over the past 50 seasons (1969-2018) [B]Early modern, 20%[/B] -- winning percentage over the middle 50 seasons (1919-1968).
