If you're ever walking down the beach and you see a girl dressed in a bikini made out of seashells, and you pick her up and hold her to your ear, you can hear her scream.

Originally posted by Dietmar239Originally posted by TexasThat's impressive but what's the bottom line? Wouldn't that be National Championships? USC has...11!!!!!!
Then there's...

The USC Trojans are 5-2-1 against the Okahoma Sooners, although the two have never met later than October 2nd. The two will face each other for the BCS Title and, in all likelyhood, the National Championship in the Orange Bowl on January 4, 2005.
This is the second time the #1 USC Trojans will play a #2 Oklahoma team. In 1981, the #1 Trojans defeated the #2 Sooners 28-24 in front of 84,016 at the LA Coliseum.
Remember the score of that game?

USC has had more great players, more Heisman winners and have beaten up on the Sooners when they have played. I think I'll go with that.

The NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process.
Since 1998, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) operated jointly by the ACC, Southeastern, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten and Pacific-10 Conferences has used a ranking system to determine the number one and number two teams at the end of the season.
Various organizations have named National Champions in college football since 1869. Utilizing the selectors as recognized by the NCAA, Oklahoma has been recognized for 16 different seasons: 2003, 2000, 1986, 1985, 1980, 1978, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1967, 1956, 1955, 1953, 1950 and 1949.If you're ever walking down the beach and you see a girl dressed in a bikini made out of seashells, and you pick her up and hold her to your ear, you can hear her scream.

USC beats Oklahoma when they meet they have also had the better players. You can also make a case that they play a tougher schedule and have for a long time.

I initially included championships that they actually went in and won the bowl, as I mentioned. However, they are recognized for 16. I believe that was in the Title Years by Polling line that I included above. Notre Dame has more than anyone. How would you rank them?If you're ever walking down the beach and you see a girl dressed in a bikini made out of seashells, and you pick her up and hold her to your ear, you can hear her scream.

I'd have to start in the 60's when will started seeing a lot of change in athlectics. I confess however that I'd have to do my homework to come up with anything meaningful there. I have kept up with USC over the years since without them west coast football sucks :cry:

That looks like a seriously flawed points system to me. Which would, of course, be consistent with college football.
Let's look at a typical team that wins the national championship and the points that they receive:
25 for national championship
10 for major bowl berth
10 for major bowl win
10 for best conference win/loss
10?? for AP top 5 ranking (I'm not sure they get this as well as national championship)
3 for bowl appearance
3 for bowl win
2 for 10 win season
73 points total. Florida would have received the 73 points this year, but Oklahoma would have only received 35 points from that list. I don't think Florida's season should represent twice the points of Oklahoma's. And I'm a Gator alum.
Other flaws include Virginia Tech beating Cincinnati in a "major" Orange Bowl this year, when neither was a top 10 team. Also half of Div I gets to a bowl in this day and age.
I think focusing on the final rankings would be a better way to do things, since it is basically a composite of most of the things that they include. Then find a way to add some bonus points for the Heisman, #1 draft picks, etc.
