College Football's Dynasties

  • Interesting little put together by ESPN on college football's 7 dynasties. Odd seeing the Mighty Minnesota Golden Gophers on that list.

  • Gotta agree with h3 on this one:

    1962-2001:

    40 seasons. 398-78-5. (next closest is Alabama, with 352-117-5, and Michigan with 340-111-10)

    .833 winning percentage (next closest is Michigan and Alabama at .748)

    398 wins (10 per year over 40 years)

    5 NCs

    Played for 4 other NC's in bowl games (81, 83, 93, 01 seasons)

    Once every 4.5 years over 40 seasons NU played for a NC in a bowl game.

    Reached final regular season game undefeated/chance to play for NC 11 other times (65, 66, 75, 78, 79, 82, 84, 85, 87, 96, 99)

    20 times in 40 seasons NU entered last game of the season or the bowl game with a chance to win the NC by winning last 2 games. 50% of the seasons over 40 years.

    Ranked in every single AP poll from 1981-2001.

    There is no 2nd place. This is THE dynasty of college football.
