What’s interesting about college football is that the same team can win 5, 6, 7, 8 years in a row. In the NFL, winning two years in a row is a great achievement. And you can already forget about winning 3 years in a row, cause it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon!
It has been almost 20 years since an NFL team won back-to-back. Pats are the last to accomplish that (‘03-‘04). Packers are the only team to win 3 in a row (‘65-‘67). 49ers were just a game away from matching that from ‘88-‘90 until Montana got injured.
This has got be up there in dumbest comments on UA-cam. Group of 5 can not and will not ever be able to compete for a national championship. Not against P5. Maybe give them their own natty. But it's just a completely different level. Even Cincinnati, if they had played a regular p5 season (especially in the SEC) they wouldn't have stood a chance.

Fun fact: the national champion was often crowned before the final bowl games (or they didn’t look at those games when deciding). As a Maryland fan, I know that they lost to Oklahoma in 1953, but was in the top 3 in 1951 and beat Tennessee in a bowl game. So in reality, they SHOULD have been 1951 champs and not 1953. There’s more examples, I’m sure. Anyone else know similar cases?
Oklahoma in 1950 was certainly not the best team. They lost the Sugar Bowl to Kentucky and had the final poll been taken after the bowl games then Kentucky likely would've been the national champions for the 1950 season.

You mean not being in a conference and having an easier road. Like being able to play Navy at the end of season with little chance of a loss and a drop before bowls are chosen. I usually confirm my posts. Assumption: ND/Navy was near season end forever.

Not really. There was even worse bias back then than the SEC bias now. It was the “gentlemen” era and since the Ivy schools were the crown jewel schools of the country back then, they always got the votes. They won most if not all of theirs not just before the playoff era or the BCS era.. but even before the bowl game era. They would just play a limited conference schedule and pretty much whoever won the Ivy League back then was voted in as the NC. The game was vastly different back then as well in pretty much every aspect. I don’t count anything before the 1940’s or 30’s as wholly legit or that it carries the same weight as a modern championship. I honestly struggle to give weight to anything before the BCS era but at least the game back then at least resembled the modern game of today.
LOL, Saban's NCs at Bama. 2020 12-0 Bama vs 7-0 OSU. How is that fair? It's not. 2017 Hurts is completely owned. Saban exploits Herbie's unpreparedness inserts Tua.

What’s interesting about college football is that the same team can win 5, 6, 7, 8 years in a row. In the NFL, winning two years in a row is a great achievement. And you can already forget about winning 3 years in a row, cause it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon!
It has been almost 20 years since an NFL team won back-to-back. Pats are the last to accomplish that (‘03-‘04).

Ivy league is just unstoppable back in the ol days
Not really. There was even worse bias back then than the SEC bias now. It was the “gentlemen” era and since the Ivy schools were the crown jewel schools of the country back then, they always got the votes. They won most if not all of theirs not just before the playoff era or the BCS era.. but even before the bowl game era. They would just play a limited conference schedule and pretty much whoever won the Ivy League back then was voted in as the NC. The game was vastly different back then as well in pretty much every aspect. I don’t count anything before the 1940’s or 30’s as wholly legit or that it carries the same weight as a modern championship. I honestly struggle to give weight to anything before the BCS era but at least the game back then at least resembled the modern game of today.
