I saw this on the interwebs today.  Not sure if I should be surprised.

********************************************************************

Going back to 1960, there have only been 26 schools to win a football national championship.

Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
BYU
Clemson
Colorado
UF
FSU
Georgia
Georgia Tech
Miami
Michigan
Michigan St.
Minnesota
Nebraska
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Ole Miss
OU
Penn State
Pitt
Tennessee
Texas
USC (Southern Cal)
Washington

Go back to 1940 and you just add Maryland, UCLA, Iowa, Syracuse, and Army.

In that modern era list, BYU is the only non major conference program.

I would bet the SEC is way ahead in total Championships, followed by the Big10.

While I agree with the BYU statement, to me, they are a major program. They get 70k for home games, play P5s at their place all the time, and have a huge national footprint. And I bet the Big 12 will do them really well in the years ahead.

Take out the years with some outliers (like 1984 with BYU and 1990 with Colorado and Georgia Tech splitting one) and its even smaller.

Since 1961, so we can get Minnesota off that list, too, the AP final champion is made up of:

Alabama--12 (that's insane...)

Miami and USC--5

OU, Notre Dame, and Nebraska--4

Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Texas, and Ohio State--3

LSU, Georgia, and Penn State--2

Pitt, BYU, Colorado, Michigan, Tennessee, and Auburn--1

 

That's all of 20 teams to win the last 61 titles--and they will never let anyone remotely close to BYU ever get a chance again. Since 1985, 17 of the teams listed above have won the title--out of 65 current P5 schools, as well as 65 more G5 teams. But, yes, let's keep up the farce that we are all equal and all get to compete to be national champions.

I've bolded the teams I think have little chance to win again. I still refuse to put Nebraska on that list until their attendance starts to drop significantly.

The farce is the biased CFP, college football playoff.  A real, expanded playoff is needed with auto-bids for all conferences plus at-large entries.  It's the reason March Madness is so fun = underdog victories.  They happen every March.

I’d seriously consider swapping BYU and Ole Miss

You’d be very surprised at the number of schools who’ve won a national championship in basketball over the same time period.

Raise your hand if you thought there was more parity in football than in basketball.

There are just about 40 schools that play at the FBS level that win at these two revenue sports. Why not let them go and be their own level of play because of their revenue, history, and fanbases are gigantic compared to the rest of us? Look, I get the Big East schools being a major level of hoops, as they have programs that can compete in hoops every year. So, when the Big XII falls apart, let the P4 and the Big East move on to their own levels and playoffs and give the rest of us a legitimate chance to win it all in the two biggest sports.

Hint, hint: this will happen.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
