The Blue Board

Good morning sweetheart, you well know the over/under how much I give a damn, and it will not deter me from continuing to voice my opinion.

For anyone paying attention, those opinions have sometimes been in their favor, and not my own program.

I think it comes down to USC (2002-2008) vs Miami's 7 run from 1986-92.

But, what is your top 5?

exactly

7 year parameter puts fsu on top for me...8 losses in 7 years...top 4 every year...2 national titles...5 national champ games..

Forgot 2 heisman winners...

USC hosts the largest Book Festival in the country...because, Californian's read more than any other state in country, per capita. 100,000 people had no problem showing up in Compton to enjoy culture and literature.

Are you kidding?

How about FSU 1993-2000? They won 2 NCs, played in 5 NC games, and finished top 5 every single year...and didn't get hit with sanctions for cheating while they did it.

How was USC 02-08 even remotely close to that?

I vacationed in Cleveland earlier this summer. Tribe/Reds and Put-in-Bay, probably good you don't know about it, it's too crowded as it is.

USC 2002-2008

USC 82-9 .901 / FSU 77-8-1 .901
2 titles
3 title games/ could've been 5
3 Heismans in 4 years
Top 4 7 straight years

USC vs 3 loss or less AQ teams (86%)
FSU vs 3 loss or less AQ teams (77%)

USC and FSU's #'s are quite similar, but what separates the 2 is the schedule IMO
1- FSU was playing 8 games a year vs ACC teams
2- USC had a better record against elite 3 loss or less AQ teams.
3- FSU lost 4 games by more than a touchdown in that 86 game span
USC played all 90 games never losing by more than 7 pts.

From ND game of 01 to Oregon game of 09, USC set a record that might never be broken, by going
103 consecutive games (92-11), never losing a game by more than 7 pts.

Funny, didn't see your post until after I just posted how similar it was,
but how USC wasn't playing a Boise St like schedule vs the ACC, so USC's run was better.

And yes, they did get hit for cheating (how soon they forget)
Free Shoes University, combined with
multiple players accepting money from agents
or in other words FSU had twice as many Reggie Bush's

In the '60s USC was NC in '62 and '67 finished second in '68 ties Alabama for NC's and they didn't finish in the top 5 any other year.

In the '70s USC was NC in '72-'74 and '78 finishing second in '79. That trumps anything OU, OSU and UM did in that decade.

I have always thought highly of FSU's streak of finishing top 4/5 for 14 years in a row. I don't care who you play, that is hard to do.

How can you put Michigan among those 70 teams over USC? Or ANY of those other teams over USC?

Our 72 team was the greatest team of that decade, we won at least a share of the MNC in 74 and 78 and our 79 team came within one bad half against Stanford 21-21 tie after leading 21-0

I would put Oklahoma up way higher than OSU and Michigan and maybe even Bama. We split the 78 Title with them, despite beating them in Birmingham

But I believe we were something like 6-0 in Rose Bowls and OSU was 1-4 and Michigan was 0-5
