How would you rank the top 10 college football programs of all-time?

Alabama
--------------
Oklahoma
Ohio State
Notre Dame (since they haven't won a NC in over 30 years and have only had a few really good seasons in that time, before CNS arrived in Alabama I might have had them at one.)
USC
--------------
Texas
Nebraska
Michigan
Penn State
-------------
Tennessee

Miami
notre dame no caps on purpose
Michigan

Flagships of College Football: Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC, Nebraska, Michigan
Not quite flagships, but still good: Penn State, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, FSU, Miami, Clemson, LSU
RC Colas of College Football: Auburn, South Carolina, Okie State, UCLA, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, MSU (both Mississippi and Michigan State), Wisconsin, etc.
Dormant Volcanoes: Pitt, Minnesota etc

LSU and Clemson both would qualify as an RC Cola team if this question was asked 20 years ago in 1999, but due to their recent success they've moved up tiers IMO.

My list is when I was younger!

1. Alabama
2. Nebraska
3. Oklahoma
4. Michigan
5. Ohio State
6. Texas
7. Notre Dame
8. USC
9. Penn State
10. Arkansas

Great game between some of the teams back in the day, tOS vs Mich, USC vs UCLA, Texas vs Ark., Neb. vs Okl., Any of you guys remember what the Big 10 was called? Big 2 and the little 8? Why I don't have Florida, Miami, F$U on my list? It's because these teams didn't start having any winning team till the middle '80.
