July 24, 200818 yr ^ I had forgot to put Tennessee in Bold as one of the most elite in my post above.
July 24, 200818 yr In no certain order and imo one has to look at history and traditions as well as the present and the coaches to be named elite....... Alabama Notre Dame Ohio State USC Florida State Penn State Michigan Florida Georgia Texas Oklahoma Nebraska LSU Miami, Fla. Tennessee The most "elite" of that group imo (again, thorugh the years as well as now and in no certain order).....are highlighted in bold and the others isted are very close to the "bold" as well imo. :thumb::thumb:
July 24, 200818 yr ^ I had forgot to put Tennessee in Bold as one of the most elite in my post above. LSU and Florida having won the last two titles have to be included.
July 25, 200818 yr Author What about elite 1-AA (or whatever they're called now) programs? Middle Tenn, Georgia Southern, Eastern Ky, Marshall (although they have moved up) off they top of my head? I just thought of Grambling. Name some others or disagree with these!
July 25, 200818 yr i am going to stay in my favorite conference and have too add Wisconsin to these lists. They may be the most unappreciated program in the country. Other than the OSU game that is who i get the most nervous to see the Wolverines play.

July 28, 200818 yr There has been a lot of talk about the "elite" college football programs. I was just interested to see what programs people see as being elite. Make a list. I'll start it with mine and this is just off the top of my head so I know I will leave some out! USC, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Alabama, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Florida State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Nebraska, Penn State, Miami, Colorado, and Arizona. I know some of these are questionable....thats the reason I put them on the list. Anyway, here is a list of 20. Do you agree? Disagree??:thumb: I agree with every team but the last two. Colorado and Arizona have a total of 1 national championship. I don't see them on the level as USC, Florida, Ohio State, and Michigan.
July 28, 200818 yr 1996 Marshall team was hands down the best 1AA team ever. I always have a problem with that team because if I recall correctly, they had more scholarships as they were getting ready to move to I-A the next year. Because of how dominant that team was in the transition phase, future teams moving up were/are not allowed to compete in the I-AA playoffs. Great team, but they had a clear advantage.

The clear advantage wasn't in roster size, it was in about 10 guys that played in the NFL...
July 28, 200818 yr The clear advantage wasn't in roster size, it was in about 10 guys that played in the NFL... Most people forget that this team was so good Chad Pennington took a red shirt this year after starting the year before as a true freshman.
July 28, 200818 yr Author I agree with every team but the last two. Colorado and Arizona have a total of 1 national championship. I don't see them on the level as USC, Florida, Ohio State, and Michigan. I really dont think so either. I was just trying to get 20 teams on my list!:thumb:

July 28, 200818 yr If I want to see the elite teams I look at the top ten. These lists are just historic teams that are still relevant.
