what was your favorite decade for college football

[retro44]

mine was the 70's . Due to many reasons.

post season awards were more deserving,less madia hype for today's prom queens.

less bowl games which making a bowl was a lot more meaning full.

1987-1998

 

[bevosu]

1959

 

[OrangeXtreme]

2020's.

SU pulls off the "threepeat" by beating USC, Alabama, and Rutgers in consecutive years to win 3 straight National Championships.

1959

I am too young to remember it but I would have to say the 1950's..

As an Eastern seaboard college football fan, my favorite decade was the 1980s (plus the following 3 years, for a baker's dozen decade).

It was the pinnacle of Eastern indy football with PSU and Miami leading the way while SU, Pitt, WVU, and even BC had their moments in this time frame as well.

Two other indies, ND and FSU, were prominent during this period. And two ACC teams won NCs, Clemson and GT.

Nice to think back and remember a time when SEC teams didn't dominate the scene.

Cheers,
Neil

and

let me guess here...1987-98 was due to the fact rutgers winning percentage was only 38.2% and most of their wins were against today's 1-AA schools
