Hypothetical. You think in 20 years Miami will be on this list?

It's possible, but I'd say unlikely. Ultimately, it depends not just on how well they play, but how well (or poorly) other schools ahead of them play. Miami is currently 105 games behind UNC, the current #25 on this list. They would need to be pretty darned successful over the next two decades to close that gap, needing to net over +5 games a year, which is a pretty monumental task. FSU is even further behind (200 games!), so it's basically impossible that they can get there, even if they manage to turn their current slide around. Of the Florida schools, the Gators are best positioned to get into that list since they're currently only 32 games behind UNC. If they continue to have the level of success they've enjoyed over the last 18 years, they should be able to close that gap.

 

Syracuse and West VA are on the list?

Remember, this is an all-time list. Many of these teams were historically much more successful than they are currently, or have been in recent decades.

God your right I didnt even think about the win differential. Its amazing to think that this list possibly could not change for a few decades. +5 is crazy.

20. Missed North Carolina, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Georgia Tech and Miami of Ohio.

 

I got 19 . . . can't believe Miami, OH was on the list and neither Florida nor Florida State was.

Florida, FSU and Miami were pretty crappy football programs until relatively recently. Their success has come too recently for them to catch up on a list like this.

More people guessed Miami, OH correctly than Nebraska....but I think that's mostly because most people thought they were picking Miami, FL.

 

Here's the Top 5. Percentages are the percentage of people who guessed correctly.

 

1 Michigan 96%

2 Notre Dame 94%

3 Texas 95%

4 Nebraska 80%

5 Ohio State 94%

 

Man, have we fallen off the map in the general public's eyes.

How can 94% of the people guess Ohio State that just seems too high. Then again after the beating they took at the hands of USC I guess it is fresh in everyone's eyes.

All more inspiration for us to kick butt this weekend.

Missed Army

 

I'm guessing Miami is not on there because they were non existant before 1980.

Everyone types in Miami and gets Miami of Ohio and must just be baffled. I know I was.

Wow that was a lot harder than I though

 

total mind cramp...only got 16

Hey at least you admitted you didnt do to well. Virginia Tech is dead to me this weekend!

I was all for the b******* at first but I think I'm starting to think its a bad idea.

Either way go Huskers.

Fun little distraction to make you think about football history:
