All-time, excluding Princeton and Yale, would look more like this:

Michigan
Notre Dame
Bama
OU
USC

if ESPN did it, USC would be #3

If they redo anything it is more about the revenue that the ratings spawn than the truth

This is not all time. This is prestige, accounting for Bowl wins, championships, heisman winners, all americans, and draft picks..

OU would still be number 1, but Bama would be in the top 5.

Probably the most accurate.
IMO, Notre Dame is first by a good margin as far as prestige.
ETA: Minus Boise.

24 years since a championship takes you out of the discussion of being in the top 2.

USC has the most draft picks, 1st round draft picks, #1 draft picks, and players in the NFL hall of fame. They are #2 in bowl wins and heismans,, and certainly near the top in championships and all-Americans.
