That is pretty hard. Nebraska had the best team I ever saw with T. Frazier or at least the most dominant. Also FSU had a really good team with Charlie Ward. Overall, that is the best I can do but I am sure I have left some teams out and included some that may not be worthy of "all time best". Florida's teams have had a great run the past 20-25 years but prior to that ???????? ALOT of great programs out there!
1. FSU- 9 straight ACC Titles, 2 National TItles, and played in 4 NC all together. A run of top 5 finishes that will never be toped. 2. Nebraska- I really want to put them at #1 but they were awful in bowls from 1988 until 94 (0-7). They were probably the most dominate team I have ever witnessed in 95, but they have been marginal since they lost in the NC in 2002. 3. Miami, FL- 236 wins, 5 National Titles since 1983. 4. OSU- 9 Big Ten Titles and a National Title, while also playing in 3 NC. 224 wins during this time period. 5. USC- Has two National Titles and also have played in another. Have been one of the most consistant teams since 2002. 6. Oklahoma- Two National Titles, played in 3 NC, 220 wins,9 conference titles. 7. Michigan- Winningest team of all-time, 229 wins during this time, 11 big ten titles, 1 NAtional Championship, and played in 2. 8. PSU- A national title in 1986 and another perfect season in 94 that should have resulted in a share of the NC. 215 wins over this period. 9. Alabama- 194 wins, 1 National Title, only 4 conference titles. 10. LSU- 2 National Titles, 5 SEC Championships. Not very consistant from 1988-94.
Here is a listing of several key catagories we should use to fuel this debate The question is, top 10 teams over the last 25 years. I only included teams that have been in D1-A for 100% of the past 25 years. The seasons over the last 25 years would include 1982-2007.
