Found this on an Ohio St. board....

This guy came up with an unbiased formula to rank all college football programs since the advent of the AP poll.

This is from an ongoing, three-year-old thread that was updated at the end of the '04, '05, and '06 seasons....

OU and Notre Dame have jumped one another after each season since he started compiling the rankings....




OK, here's how this was calculated. I took each team's ranking in every year-end poll since the AP started in 1936. Once 2 polls were involved, I always used the higher ranking. Sliding scale points were awarded for every year that a team ended up ranked, and 10 points were deducted for each losing season. The scale was determined before seeing where teams ended up.

For each year since 1936, a team earns points based on these criteria:

NC (#1) in either poll = 100 points
02 -> 05 = 65, 55, 50, 45 points, respectively
06 -> 10 = 40, 37, 34, 32, 30 points
11 -> 20 = 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 points
21 -> 25 = 08, 06, 04, 03, 02 points
non-ranked, but .500 or above = 0 points
losing record for the year = minus 10 points

Here are the all-time totals, updated after the 2006 final polls:

01. 2274 - Oklahoma (re-passed ND after 2006)
02. 2265 - Notre Dame
03. 2109 - Ohio State (passed Bama after 2004)
04. 2010 - Alabama (-10 for losing record in 2006)
05. 1966 - Michigan
06. 1812 - USC
07. 1679 - Nebraska
08. 1639 - Texas
09. 1507 - Tennessee
10. 1418 - Penn State
11. 1181 - Miami
12. 1104 - Florida State
13. 0944 - LSU
14. 0932 - Auburn
15. 0928 - Georgia
16. 0899 - UCLA
17. 0892 - Florida
18. 0697 - Arkansas
19. 0678 - Michigan State
20. 0599 - Washington
21. 0525 - Georgia Tech
22. 0459 - Ole Miss
23. 0434 - Texas A&M
24. 0423 - Colorado
25. 0419 - Pittsburgh
26. 0399 - Minnesota

Other schools: Clemson(396), Syracuse(347), Army(327), Wisconsin(274), Iowa(248), Purdue(135)

Though this formula doesn't take into account several factors since the AP poll's inception

(National Championships, Conference Championships, Most Wins, Winning %, Most Bowl Wins, National Award Winners....)


....those categories would just strengthen Oklahoma's #1 ranking...

but it could change the order of #2-#25 if they were included.






It's good to be the king. ;)

Ohio State fans like us for some reason? Earlier this year one of the bucknuts said I wish we had as much fun as those Sooners.

Kind of had a soft spot for them ever since.

Wasn't the BCS developed to offset the bias of the polls? How is this not biased again?

actually it was developed as a way to get #1 vs #2. it has been tweaked to remove bias, but i don't think there is any way that will ever happen.

Let's see...the title of this post is "OU is the All-Time #1." If that isn't an aggie trap I don't know what is.

a la Mike Myers from any SNL Wayne's World skit... "Snared!"

Why, yes there is one on the staff at the present time.

And I believe if one digs down far enough in the bios of previous coaches, one will find that Gomer Jones played for Ohio State.

Nice. This is also a good reason why i like buckeye fans. They dont seem to be a-holes as much as other teams. And its not just from this, ive noticed it over the years. Ive never really gotten any big time smack talk form Ohio State.

Aggies shouldn't be allowed to comment on something they know absolutely nothing about! Talk about beating Tejass at the buzzer or something....that would be great.
