Impressive.

IMHO, Miami from 86-92 was the best seven year run.

78-6
3 national titles
5-2 in bowls with wins over Texas, Nebraska, Alabama, and Oklahoma
2 Heisman winners
The Rock

Was his prime years in the 00's?

Rock puts them over the top.

Do I strike you as the type of guy to ask serious questions?

Yes.

His teams did finish in the top 5 every year from 1987-2000.

Worst season in that 14 yr stretch was 10-2. FSU had a 10-2 record in '89, '90, '95.

That FSU run was the best of my lifetime, however as long as saban stays, I can see Bama surpassing it(as they already have two clear MNC and probably more before run is over. Hell, they are on par with South Carolina Baseball :)

Ya, true. Anytime a team can what 95% of their conference games for an entire decade, like Florida St did from 92-01, you are dealing with a really weak conference. Teams can do it for 6-7 yrs at about 90% in the best conferences but a full decade at 95% means Florida St of the 90's was more like Boise St of the 2000's than they were like USC.

What's even crazier is up through 2005, FSU still had a 90% win pct in ACC games since they joined the conference in 1992 (and they had'nt been good since 01).

I think the Mtn West would have put up more of a fight than that against Florida St.

Really is silly if you think Bowden's best 7 years can compete with Pete's 7 year run,
considering how much FSU benefited from the weak conference they were in. If they had won
95% of their other games as well, then you could say it was legit.

So one split AP title makes a dynasty? Nope.

I think you're the guy who checks out other guy's willies at the urinal to see if they are smaller than yours.

I'm not the one claiming I have a foot-long when I really only have a six-incher.
