Congrats. I'll take what is going on currently...the present seems a little more relevant, no?
So, in the last 4 years we are 47-6 with 2 national titles, 1 SEC title, 3-1 against Auburn with 2 blowouts, 4-0 against Tennessee with 3 blowouts, 3 BCS games and a 49-7 slaughtering of Co-Big 10 Champ Michigan State in our only non-BCS bowl.
Yes, I think that timeline works quite well. Congrats on what y'all did back in 2002 or whatever though.

Princeton and Yale are not in the conversation for best of all time because their greatness is defined by one era. To be one of the greatest of all time you have to maintained an elite level for an extended period of time. That is why Michigan's accomplishments are lessened in my mind because so many of them occurred prior to the AP era. I do still consider them elite though do to an abundance of very good years (10 win seasons/conference championships), although their truly elite teams (national champions) have been limited.

You brought them up. That's why we're talking about them. The fact is Princeton and Yale haven't been relevant for like 100 years. They racked up titles when it was basically the two of them playing each other with almost zero other teams. It's apples and oranges when comparing their titles to those of Alabama.
The point is, Alabama is the best program in the history of the world, has the most national titles in the modern era, and is the best program in the world today. We're #1, stop trying to prove we're not, you can't do it, and everybody hates you.

It's pretty crazy that they have only 1 national title the past like 64 years. Same for Texas who has 1 the past 41 years or so. They are regarded as two of the best programs of all time and the conference titles and wins are way up there but national championships, not so much lately.
Before the "well they don't make up championships like Bama", we have 9 AP/Coaches/BCS titles since 1961.

We can't help it that the rest of you sucked for so long. I laugh at people who think UF, which didn't win its first title until the 1990s, and Oregon, which has yet to do so, deserve greater respect. And for all of Bama's success under Coach Saban, you were pretty pathetic for most of the decade prior to that. Michigan has played Bama three times, all in the past 20 years, and we are 2-1 in those games. And those wins have nothing to do eith our success in the early 1900s. The fact is that all programs go through cycles and, except for about 20 years after WWII and the three-year debacle that was the RR era, we have been nationally relevant in CFB for more than 130 years. That absolutely dwarfs all but a few programs.
But you are right that Michigan was overwhelmingly dominant in the early days of CFB and, in fact, is one of a handful of teams that invented the game and/or were responsible for its evolution into what we see on the field today. We make no apologies for that. We are, in fact, proud of it. We are also proud that, unlike most of the other elite programs from that era, we are the only one that remains consistently relevant today.
It's hard to do something well for 133 years. And every great CFB program has had a few down years here and there. But based on any measure - national championships, major conference championships, wins, win %, All Americans, Heismans and other major awards, coaches/players in the HOF, players drafted by the NFL, etc - Michigan is at or near the top in every category. Very, very, very few programs can say the same thing.

Yes, I've followed the thread. Why do you think the OP posted the list with the comment he made? He's an Auburn fan trying to show that Auburn has more wins than Alabama since 2000. That's the entire point of this thread and you know it. So...we Bama fans simply pointed out that we're better now and are better overall which is what really matters as opposed to some timeline that he picks and chooses at will. Yes, 2000 was the beginning of the new millennium but it also just so happened to begin possibly the worst era of Alabama Football ever.
Like I said, all of history and the present are the only things that matter but for whatever reason Auburn fans love to use "since Bear died" and other timelines to prove their worth. This is simply another attempt at that. That's fine, we know we were awful most of last decade. We're just saying we've been past that for a few years now so stop trying to relive the "fear the thumb" days and sh*t....they're over...stop milking them.

Then if we are going to do all of history than Princton and Yale have more titles than Bama. That was my point if we want to take ALL of history.
