What’s the most overrated/underperforming college football program of all time?

A lot of people throw UGA in there, too.

Michigan by far. Half a national title in the last 60+ years is pathetic for a blueblood.

Texas A&M and UCLA for most underperforming.

I don’t even consider them underperforming, i just consider them wannabes

Texas A&M

Depends on your criteria.

UM and UT are top 3 all time in wins IIRC but have relatively few titles to show for it in comparison with other “blue blood” programs.

Texas won in 2005 and last won before that in 1969. UM won a half title on 1997 and last won a full title in 1948.

I feel like your list reeks of recency bias considering you're asking about "of all time". Michigan didn't accumulate all of those wins by accident despite playing second fiddle to OSU for the last 15 years.

Maybe you can argue Texas from the standpoint of having so many athletes in their backyard and not translating that into prolonged success/titles. But they're still pretty good over the span of 100 years.

LSU used to be up until 2003. But since then they have righted the ship and are where they are supposed to be.

Idk if you could consider LSU on that list. We were so overlooked and not spoken about on a national stage.

Everybody woke up to the sleeping giant we were about 5 seconds after Saban got here.

However, I was kinda young when we took off in the early 2000s so I may be wrong about the national narrative regarding LSU’s program.

Using subjective titles as the metric for performance is silly

i mean we are the clear answer for the 21st century. but all time? eh, give me a program like cal. they should be an absolute power
