🏈 A bit of trivia for ya: Can you name the schools that have won the NC 3X or more—Poll era?

[TerryP]

Out of the 126 teams in the FBS, I think six teams have won at least three national titles in the poll era (other than Bama.)

As fans, we're sitting back reflecting on four in the past seven years. Can you name the teams that have at least three in the poll era?

By my count:

[HIDE-REPLY]USC, OU, Ohio State, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Miami.[/HIDE-REPLY]

 

[TerryP]

I may have missed that ... still, need to look it up to be sure.

Spoiler

 

[Bamabww]

I'm gonna say [HIDE-REPLY-THANKS]8: Ohio State, Florida State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Southern Cal, Miami, Notre Dame and Texas[/HIDE-REPLY-THANKS]

Well...that's a hell of a way to treat a person.

Well...I was just playin around. There's been so much talk about how Bama rates historically I think all of the teams I listed have been on some type of graphic on ESPN at one point or other recently.

I don't know if I'm actually right about the number of teams or the teams, one thing is obvious though, y'all ain't watched enough Lonesome Dove.

 

[OldPlayer]

Minnesota, USC, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Miami, Florida State, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, LSU, Texas

 

[JoshB]

Well...that's a hell of a way to treat a person.

Well dont come at us with that "cant yall read" bullshit and you wont get a response like that.

• 1964 Alabama
• 1960 Minnesota
• 1953 Maryland
• 1951 Tennessee
• 1950 Oklahoma

y'all ain't watched enough Lonesome Dove.

It's in queue ... coming right after I start watching the Lifetime channel. :bird:

I listed all I could think of this morning and when I posted the thread I knew there were some I was missing. Texas raised an eyebrow. I'd forgotten about the LSU NC in the '50's,

I started thinking about this last night after seeing a tweet out of the corner of my eye ... now I'm wondering if they were talking about AP titles, only.

In other threads people are talking about how championships are once again being redefined. Even though the UPI turned into the Coaches Poll, for some reason the Coaches Poll didn't exist until ... weird logic.

Oh...Minnesota did dawn on me while biking this morning ... they were a three-peat we talked about a couple of years ago as I recall.
