Everything you did is except for conference titles and it was already explained to you why those aren't applicable when comparing Texas and USC.

NFL draft picks, first round draft picks, wins, winning percentage, and conference championships aren't voted on. Those are just black and white objective numbers.

You didn't list wins and win percentage. Conference titles aren't applicable when comparing Texas to USC. Draft picks are mythical.

You're glossing over the least mythical, most objective fact when arguing for Tejas to be included in my group of bluebloods. I'm pretty sure Tejas has a winning record against the group, I know they have a 13 game lead on OU and they're 7-1 (I think) against Bama.

You've gotta remember that only 1 team per conference made the tournament back then.


Get out of here with your facts.

They're below Bama, SC, ND, OU, and Ohio State in:
- Weeks in the AP poll
- Weeks at #1
- Final rankings in the AP poll
- Claimed national championships
- AP national championships
- Conference championships (ND is inapplicable here)
- NFL draft picks
- First round draft picks
- Heisman Trophy winners

They're below 3/5 in total wins. They have 2 more wins than OU despite playing 34 more games (OU's winning percentage is .725 and Tejas's is .701). They've also played 75 more games than SC.

They're below 4/5 in total wins and winning percentage. They beat SC on this point .701 to .696


I'm not saying Tejas is a scrub program. I'm just saying they're just a step below Bama, SC, ND, OU, and Ohio State.


You sure I didn't list total wins and winning percentage?

You think national title claims and poll finishes matter more than what's actually decided on the field.

You know you quoted the post in its entirety at 1:58 PM, which was 11 minutes before you claimed I omitted information about total wins and winning percentage, right?

You also know you can see when I edited the post, which was at 1:57 PM, don't you?

You do realize Texas is ahead of USC in both, right? Oops.

I literally stated Tejas is ahead of USC in all-time wins and winning percentage.

Which is on the field and not mythical.

People on this site do not understand what Blue blood means, for the most part. You can tell by how many start talking about current relevance as though that is a valid criterion.

Nebraska may never make the 12 team playoff.

they had an AD who told us he joined the big10 so nebraska could recruit Chicago basketball.
texas high school football was big for Nebraska and now not so much.
