    OU in the 50's was ridiculous.

    Nebraska was dominating in the 80's and 90's for sure. Just didn't get enough hardware in the 80's though. Dr. Tom struggled in the Orange Bowl back then. Tough for the Big 8 when the OB seemed to turn into the Big8 champion vs the best team in Florida though.

    agreed OU was full beast mode. Who took over at SC in the 20's to bring them to elite status?

    Elmer "Gus" Henderson from 1919-24, then Howard Jones from 1925-1940.

    About your elite status comment - I would say its mostly because the other teams on the list won more games than USC even played the decade of 1910-1919. SC played only 44 games total those years.

    The thing about this whole thread, though I am quite impressed with all the number crunching (if I ever become a billionaire and need some financial advisors into creating my own business, I may hit up some of ya'll!), is that as said in the very first post, none of it really makes a difference in the game monday, and honestly, the only thing I would argue and consider really relevant is the previous two years in the history of a team...

    Previous two yrs don't matter either friend

    Let's compare nattys during the last 50 years.

    Alabama - 7

    I'll allow the OP to fill in the rest. I believe Michigan & OSU combine for 3 since 1963.

    Last 50 years?

    Alabama has 8 AP titles and 1 Coaches (UPI) title since 1963:

    1964 Unanimous
    1965 AP
    1973 UPI
    1978 AP
    1979 Unanimous
    1992 Unanimous
    2009 Unanimous
    2011 Unanimous
    2012 Unanimous

    Only 8 schools in college football history have won more than .700 percent (70%) of all of their
    games while playing at the major (D1 AQ type) level for at least the last 50 years; they are
    Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alabama, Notre Dame, and USC.

    These 8 schools are the blue bloods of college football and since we have a true blue blood match-up
    in BCS MNCG (Bama vs ND) I figured it was a relevant time to post this info. This obviously means nothing
    in regards to who will win between Bama and ND this year, but I think it's interesting to see how the elite 8
    historically have done against each other. I did two time frames, the 1st is from 1963-2012 (the last 50 years),
    and the 2nd is all-time.

    1963-2012 (The Last 50 Years) Elite 8 vs Each Other
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    USC.......53-32-5 (.616) 90g.....(21-15-1 road) 37 road games
    Texas....41-32-3 (.559) 76g......(4-3-0 road) 7 road games
    ND.........49-47-4 (.510) 100g...(18-26-2 road) 46 road games
    OU.........52-55-5 (.486) 112g...(12-16-1 road) 29 road games
    Ohio St..34-39-2 (.466) 75g.....(12-18-1 road) 31 road games
    Mich.......42-51-3 (.453) 96g.....(15-24-2 road) 41 road games
    Bama.....13-16-1 (.450) 30g......(2-4-0 road) 6 road games
    Neb........30-42-1 (.417) 73g......(9-19-1 road) 29 road games
    =================================================

    -- -- -- --

    ALL-TIME (Elite 8 vs Each Other)
    -------------------------------------------
    Texas..........75-58-6 (.561) 139g
    ND.............. 91-73-7 (.552) 171g
    Michigan......80-74-6 (.518) 160g
    USC.............69-65-8 (.514) 142g
    Ohio State...62-69-5 (.474) 136g
    Oklahoma....92-107-10(.464) 209g
    Alabama......16-20-2 (.447) 38g
    Nebraska.....56-75-6 (.430) 137g
    ===============================
    So this will be Alabama's 39th game against one of the blue bloods and Notre Dame's
    172nd. Only Oklahoma has played more games vs other blue bloods than ND.

    *No school can claim total domination amongst each other as each
    school has a losing record against at least 2 of the other schools.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Texas has a losing record vs ND and SC.
    USC has a losing record vs Bama and ND.
    ND has a losing record vs Michigan, OSU, and Nebraska.
    Michigan has a losing record vs OU, SC, and Texas.
    Ohio St has a losing record Michigan, Bama, SC, and Texas.
    Oklahoma has a losing record vs ND, SC, and Texas.
    Alabama has a losing record vs ND, OU, and Texas.
    Nebraska has a losing record vs everybody except ND.

    Our numbers are dominated by a horrible record against one team ... USC in the Rose Bowl. It's our achilles heal. Other than that, we show very well against everyone else. In fact, we show well against USC outside the Rose Bowl. We have not done well in the Rose Bowl, period.

    well no wonder, weak schedule imo. The other blue bloods were beating each other up while Bama slid by. stir

    There is something to that. Michigan is exactly. 500 against ND and OSU over the past 40 years.

    (1973-2012)

    UM v. OSU: 19-19-2
    UM v. ND: 14-14-1
    UM v. Nebraska: 2-2
    UM v. Bama: 2-2
    UM v. USC: 1-5 (all Rose Bowls)
    UM v. Oklahoma: 0-1
    UM v. Texas: 0-1

    Yes and everybody knows that about half of them are bogus. At least 64, 65, 73, and 78 are. Those 4 years are more mythical than mythical.

    Look's like all together Bama has 10 solid mythicals, and 4 totally mythical NC's.

    So what does that say about USC.

    You guys claim '78 with the UPI, just like Bama does for the '73 championship. The other three you mention are AP championships, so no argument can be made. SC also claims '74, when OU was the true champion that season.

    For Bama, 1941 should not be claimed.

    So, if Alabama was co-champ with SC in 1978, then ND must be co-champ with Alabama in 2012. Isn't that right Whack Daddy?

    Nice try but different time, different parameters for determining championships. Sort of like USC claiming '78 (UPI) and '03 (AP). Keep throwing $hit, eventually something will stick dumbass.

    When he posted the OP he was only a half troll, somewhere between then and now he was pwnd on the internets one too many times and now all he does is troll. There is no need to spend your time communicating with this little guy

    Looks like I hit nerve, it's entertaining when you are mad. Yes, its true, what's good for Alabama is only good for Alabama.

    1978 Alabama 11-1 loses at home by double digits to USC 12-1.

    2012 ND 12-1 loses to Bama 12-1 by double digits.

    So just know that your 78 "title" is as valid as ND claiming the title this year.

    lol at you thinking I am mad. Just enjoy making you look like an idiot. 1978 is AP, so you can't dispute.

    Just like usual, SC wins a big game only to $hit the bed against a terrible Arizona team. Seems to be an ongoing pattern in Trojan land.

    Fail after fail with you. Btw, it was Arizona St not Arizona, they were top 20 at 9-3, and it was a road game.

    Only a delusional Bama fan would try to claim superiority that season after losing at home by double digits, not to mention playing the weaker schedule.

    And you guys say I am a homer, it doesn't get any more homer than that. Haha, even when Alabama loses, they still are better than you. What a comedian you are!

    Congrats ND and LSU on your titles these past 2 years. You were definitely better than Alabama, never mind the loss, just ask the whack daddy.

    EDIT:
    MacDaddy said "SC also claims 74, when OU was the true champion that year."
    Well, since OU was on probation that year and not eligible for postseason, that means Alabama fan
    has finally come to terms with the Ohio St Buckeyes being the true champion this past year.
    You heard it here first, an Alabama fan conceding the title to the Ohio St University- Congrats Buckeyes!
