[QUOTE="SWC75, post: 770787, member: 289"] I was watching some old college football clips on U-Tube and I wondered how the great powers of the sport really stack up against each other over the years. I decided to take the Associated Press, (writer’s) Poll final rankings from 1936, when it started, to 2012, (the last full year before this) and “add them up” with a 25 points for first place, 24 for second, etc. system to determine which schools had done the best in the rankings over the years. I stuck with the writers because I wanted one source for the rankings to avoid confusion. They are usually not so different from each other that it would make a noticeable difference if I used the coaches poll instead. And I didn’t want to use the various mathematical systems and other rankings on the net because they represent a more personalized point of view, (for example James Howell, whom I have used for other things, tends, for some reason, to downgrade Midwestern teams in the pre-war period ). The writer’s poll is itself an accumulation of opinions from knowledgeable sources so it will do for this project. Note: The writer’s poll was a Top 20 from 1936- 1961, a Top 10 from 1962-67, a Top 20 again from 1968-88 and has been a Top 25 since 1989. I nonetheless gave 25 points for 1st place, 24 for second place, etc. for every year. We are missing some teams from the bottom of the list prior to 1989 but a national championship is still a national championship in any era. The All-Time Top 25: Oklahoma 974 Alabama 958 Michigan 943 Notre Dame 919 Ohio State 890 Nebraska 784 So California 782 Texas 772 Tennessee 679 Penn State 667 Louisiana St. 580 Georgia 531 Auburn 526 Miami (Fla) 503 UCLA 483 Florida 488 Florida State 486 Arkansas 439 Michigan State 381 Texas A&M 357 Washington 341 Georgia Tech 325 Mississippi 322 Wisconsin 305 Clemson 300 Alphabetically: Air Force 75 Alabama 958 Arkansas 439 Arizona 77 Arizona State 225 Army 239 Auburn 526 Baylor 132 Boise State 136 Boston College 143 Boston U 10 Bowling Green 3 Brigham Young 193 California 198 Carnegie Tech 20 Central Florida 5 Central Michigan 3 Cincinnati 37 Clemson 300 Colorado 258 Colorado Col 8 Colorado St 31 Columbia 12 Cornell 81 Dartmouth 60 Delaware 7 Duke 203 Duquesne 46 E Carolina 23 Florida 488 Florida State 486 Fordham 88 Fresno State 6 Georgetown 13 Geo Washington 9 Georgia 531 Georgia Tech 325 Hardin-Simmons 9 Hawaii 13 Holy Cross 53 Houston 165 Illinois 177 Indiana 63 Iowa 272 Iowa State 8 Kansas 86 Kansas State 168 Kentucky 96 Lafayette 7 Louisiana St. 580 Louisville 91 Marquette 6 Marshall 18 Maryland 238 Miami (Fla) 503 Miami (Ohio) 68 Michigan 943 Michigan State 381 Minnesota 226 Mississippi 322 Miss State 100 Missouri 218 Navy 199 Nebraska 784 New Mexico St 9 No Carolina 199 NC State 105 No Illinois 4 Northwestern 135 Notre Dame 919 Ohio State 890 Ohio University 6 Oklahoma 974 Oklahoma St 132 Oregon 229 Oregon State 98 Pacific 23 Penn State 667 Pennsylvania 95 Pittsburgh 293 Princeton 55 Purdue 177 Rice 107 Rutgers 40 St. Mary’s 19 San Diego State 11 San Francisco 12 San Jose State 5 Santa Clara 86 So California 782 So Carolina 96 So Methodist 168 So Mississippi 25 Stanford 227 Syracuse 191 Temple 9 Tennessee 679 Texas 772 Texas A&M 357 Texas Christian 231 Texas Tech 104 Toledo 31 Tulane 81 Tulsa 79 UCLA 483 Utah 75 Utah State 26 Vanderbilt 17 Villanova 41 Virginia 66 Virginia Military 6 Virginia Tech 213 Wake Forest 22 Washington 341 Wash & Lee 7 Wash State 123 West Virginia 194 William & Mary 33 Wisconsin 305 Wyoming 48 Yale 54 [/QUOTE]
