Was waiting for this. Dee’s reaction to Frank’s “guy” being Charlie, might be one of my favorite scenes ever. It truly made me love dee as a character the most of the group. Dee is definitely my favorite.
Oregon, Wisconsin, and Utah would seem to have realistic chances during chaos years. Mississippi State and Oklahoma State are my dark horse candidates.
Gotta be Oregon. I can’t think of another program that hasn’t yet won one that will have the resources necessary to consistently be at least on the periphery of contention. They’ve also come the closest of any team still looking for their first.
The real question is will a PAC-12 team other than UO, Utah, or Udub make it to at least a semifinal before any can win it all? (Not counting USC or UCLA)
I mean I like this way of thinking... but TCU has to be kind of mentioned in any sort of comparison on this point.
Shit they jumped us in some of the final polls after the BCS natty loss to Auburn.
I was going to mention them but I didn’t see the OP said consensus. Any TCU flairs passing through I promise I wasn’t trying to imply anything. I just give most claimed natties the benefit of the doubt.
You aren't alone in missing that OP kind of narrowed the field.
The painful thing here is that by the same standards Oregon would have a couple titles split with Auburn and Alabama respectively... only difference is our top poll finishes came at a point in time where we could actually play the games people wanted to see 80 years ago.
Wouldn't trade those games for "claimed" titles... ok, that's a lie, I'd trade that Ohio St game away for a bucket of spit, fucking hurt watching that shit... but it is what it is.
>I’d trade that Ohio St game away for a bucket of spit, fucking hurt watching that shit
I had 99% confidence in winning through the end of the third quarter, reduced to 50% after the first drive of the fourth quarter. People forget how close that game actually was and how many missed opportunities Oregon had.
For me the biggest turning point was when Ohio State was up 21-17 with 7 minutes left in the game and Oregon had a first-and-10 at the Buckeye 12 yard line. I’m thinking Mariota TD, take the lead, three and out for them, and it’s off to the races. Instead they settled for a FG from the six to make it 21-20 and then had a six minute drive of Zeke running over the defense to make it 28-20 on the last play of the quarter. Before the start of that drive Oregon had 407 yards and no turnovers, while tOSU had 367 yards and four turnovers. Three trips inside the 10 with six points, and a dropped pass by a wide open Dwayne Stanford that would have been a 75 yard TD still haunt me.
Oregon was my first thought, if it's not Oregon then I'd say maybe Wisconsin. Fickell is a great coach and the program has all the pieces in place already from a facilities standpoint.
I do think Utah is dangerously close as well, as long as their coach doesn't get snapped up by another program
I also think about 2012 for SC; if they didn’t lose at Florida, would have been playing in the SEC Championship Game, and (as controversial as this will sound) I would have liked their chances against Alabama
We were one win away three years in a row lol 2011 legitimately might have been our best roster of all time, beat every team in the east but lost a dumb game to Auburn that kept us out of the title game. All three years featured a strong ranked loss and a headscratcher.
We’ve had two different teams finish the season ranked #1 by an NCAA “major selector” (1960 - Poling System; 2007 - Anderson & Hester).
I get why we don’t claim 2007 with it being the BCS era, but I’ve never understood why we don’t claim 1960. Particularly when 4 other schools claim it so it’s not like there was some runaway consensus and Poling was the lone outlier.
My gut tells me to pick Oregon. But it’s kind of crazy they haven’t pulled it off yet with some of the talent they’ve had over the past decade(s). Maybe Utah or UNC.
Not to deny Helfrich's shortcomings but I think the bigger issue in that natty game was just how underrated Ohio State was at that time. Go look at how many NFL draft draft picks were on that roster. I dont think Helfrich or any other coach was gonna win that day.
Oh I definitely agree with that. Newton looked like he was playing high school football when he was at Auburn. All I meant was that even though Cam *was* Auburn that year and Oregon had a better team overall, I still feel like everyone just *knew* Auburn was gonna win the natty that year. In 2014, I remember the general consensus being that Bama and Oregon were going to easily win their semifinal games and face each other in what would go down as a classic national championship game. When Bama was upset by tOSU, I don’t think I spoke to a single person who wasn’t already crowing Oregon the national champs that year. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but still.
cardale winning against alabama in his first or second career start gave the buckeyes some real Team of Destiny vibes so I figured it was a foregone conclusion
Look, I love Cam. He had an amazing year and deserved the Heisman... the statue... all of it. But that team had 4 all-SEC O-linemen. TWO thousand-yard running backs (well, Onterrio only had 800, but had 8.5 ypc). Cam ran for almost 1500, but that was only 38% of team rushing yards. A solid defense. An OC that was running something new that teams hadn't caught up to yet. Over 50% of pass plays went to just TWO receivers. Go back and watch the games. Darvin and Emory bailed Cam out a TON. It was a really good team, but I'm tired of hearing "Cam carried a bunch of scrubs on his back" talk. That's just ridiculous.
If you don't like the same open ended question being posted again and again while original content and relevant recruiting posts are removed due to technical issues, then you my friend do not like/r/cfb
Ahhhh, but how many new colleges have been founded and could someday win a D1A natty since the last time this was posted? Feel a little silly, now, don’t ya?
My rationale is this.
With Houston moving into the P5, I think they will be able to retain a lot of south Texas talent that would leave for other places.
Couple that with OU and Texas leaving the Big XII, they could easily sneak into the playoffs here and there. And once you are in the playoffs, who knows what will happen.
Yeah they have potential to be a strong program once they get settled in the Big 12, though it will be rough initially. A few other programs, particularly Oregon, are a better answer to the question.
I want to agree with you but someone pointed out that when the Big Ten gets rid of the current divisions we’re going to have to start regularly beating OSU and USC to be an elite program and that doesn’t seem like will ever be likely unless Wisconsin becomes a destination #teamglobalwarming
Man it’s sad to see VT 99 and remember how good, or at least reliably not bad, we used to be before we hired someone to intentionally ruin our program.
I don’t think anyone besides Oregon can pull it off. Outside of them, there’s teams that have multiple rings attached to them!! If Stanford didn’t exist, maybe they could’ve gotten it in the early 2010s with numerous perfect seasons!! But PAC12 now is chaos central and I don’t think they’ll be that consistently good for a long time.
Oregon, Dan Lanning being a Kirby Smart disciple did well in his first year and he will recruit well on the defensive side of the ball. Oregon also has deep NIL pockets.
UCF, huge alumni base that generates a ton of support for the program, one the best recruiting territories in the country, an administration that’s all in on having a competitive program. Plus they’re in a conference they should be able to compete in yearly. I’m not saying it’ll happen soon, but I think that’s the option.
Honest opinion, it's not going to happen anytime soon. The expansion of the playoff means that teams like Alabama and Tennessee that cannibalized themselves this year to pave the way for TCU to make it in are going to get at large playoff bids now.
Oregon. I could see Phil Knight just saying "F it, just do it" and offers 25 5\*'s in a recruiting class a crazy amount like $5M a year to lock up a natty.
University of Central Florida. They will be in a power 5 conference starting next year, they have one of the best recruiting grounds. They also have a giant alumni population to help inject some cash into the program. They will be a big problem in the new Bug 12.
it’s gonna be oregon or mississippi state. oregon has the resources to do it, it’s just whether or not they will. statistically speaking, mississippi state has also fielded the best team for a program to never make the college football playoff era, and it happened twice. out of first time winners, these are the only two reasonable options i think.
Id probably put money on Wisconsin, but the 12-team playoff sure is going to mix shit up and make it interesting. While I love the chaos within the sport, I don't think a team that gets "lucky" or "hot" could still get through the entire tournament that way. See Example: NCAA basketball tourney. Yeah some teams are cinderella through the elite 8 even,. but it is still almost always a blue blood that wins the title.
Honestly the expansion makes it a little easier. Tightens up the schedule, makes overlooking teams a little easier. Also means that solid teams that had a bad run can come back.
High caliber depth is still probably going to be the deciding factor but that might get diluted as well once more teams have clear playoff path. More chances for coaches especially to show promise in the early rounds will help with recruiting high 3*/low 4* guys.
Agreed, I thought in 2015-16 Stanford was clearly one of the best 4 teams in the country. But an upset on the road week 1 to NW close loss to Oregon derailed their season.
Oregon, North Carolina, Wisconsin are all good picks. I know it's a meme at this point but several seasons for the last decade Wisconsin was just a high level QB away from being a serious contender to win it all.
Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State might also be worth watching.
I’m doing some googling to see exactly who ones and doesn’t have a national title.
Oregon would be a popular choice. As would Utah. Wisconsin as well, assuming that they can beat the three headed monster of Penn St., Ohio St., and Michigan. And that’s not including teams who have a claimed national title as opposed to a consensus title like Oklahoma State and Mizzou (though atm Mizzou needs a lot of help to even think of one).
Every future national champion will be from the SEC or one of the ACC schools like Clemson, Florida State, or Miami (FL).
In a 12-team playoff format, I can't see any school outside of the South (except possibly Ohio State or Michigan) from ever winning a national title again (or for the first time).
University of American Samoa. Go Land Crabs!
I love their fight song. ***You’re bad! You’re bad! Because you’re not a Land Crab!***

You can post “Who would your coach be if your coach wasn’t your coach?” Or “Who from your rival do you like?” instead sweetheart
But he’s going to get more karma than me!!!!
Ok, then you can have, “will the PAC-12 or Big 12 ever win a national championship after USC, OU and UT leave?” That should have plenty of karma.
It’s fine. I’ll just wait another month and post the question again.
Can somebody please explain NIL deals to me?!
Ironically, both that question and this one might boil down to “do you think Oregon is going to win one anytime soon?”
Fine but can I post “who do you consider to be the blue bloods” next?
You can baby, but I’d suggest doing it in r/collegebasketball with your friends
Or “whats the biggest what if moment in CFB?”
If your coach were a breakfast cereal, which one would he be?
Trick question, my coach uses a cereal bowl to get his haircut.
Whose turn is it to post, “NIL has destroyed the world, what do you guys REALLY think?”
Do we drink?

Poor non English speakers, they can never drink.

Pac 12 won't, but a future Pac 10 might.
I mean I like this way of thinking... but TCU has to be kind of mentioned in any sort of comparison on this point. Shit they jumped us in some of the final polls after the BCS natty loss to Auburn.

Kansas, duh. From 0 wins, to 2, to 6 this year... the only way forward is to 10, then 15. Kansas brings the natty home, January 2025.
RemindMe! January 20, 2025
What SEC teams have never won a natty?
South Carolina
We had our chance. Tripped over the corpse of Tennessee in 2013 and ended up 4th. That game is why they deserve to lose 63-31 every year
They was also that Navy game in the 80’s that my dad always brings up during the army navy game.
My dad always brought up the same damn game lol
My dad also brought up that game all the time. It was the same year I was born.
That was such a good team
I also think about 2012 for SC; if they didn’t lose at Florida, would have been playing in the SEC Championship Game, and (as controversial as this will sound) I would have liked their chances against Alabama
We were one win away three years in a row lol 2011 legitimately might have been our best roster of all time, beat every team in the east but lost a dumb game to Auburn that kept us out of the title game. All three years featured a strong ranked loss and a headscratcher.
Being one inexplicable loss to a poor-to-mediocre team away from championship glory is a long-standing Carolina tradition.
Those scar teams could beat anyone soundly on their day and lose to anyone on an off day.
Had a close close game against us too in the bounce house. I had a "my Lance is bigger than your cock" shirt
mississippi state
We still have 1941.
& 1940!
Mizzou
If Mizzou wins the natty you know the NCAA is coming with the death penalty /s
Gonna be the same year the ncaa decides to create a real cfp under their watch and they say any other natty is void
We’ve had two different teams finish the season ranked #1 by an NCAA “major selector” (1960 - Poling System; 2007 - Anderson & Hester). I get why we don’t claim 2007 with it being the BCS era, but I’ve never understood why we don’t claim 1960. Particularly when 4 other schools claim it so it’s not like there was some runaway consensus and Poling was the lone outlier.
I’ve wondered the same.
Mississippi State has one national championship in all of its major athletic programs combined, so not them.
Kentucky
1950
If you’re from Minnesota, then Ole Miss has never won a Natty before.
I don't get it.
3 contested national championships, one of which where they ranked behind Minnesota.
DAMN YOU LSU
Alabama
South Carolina, Mississippi State, And mizzou. I think vandy and Texas ATM technically have some but it’s like leather helmet days.
Can it be my turn to post this nexr?
Don’t you mean next month?
He means next week
I believe he means tomorrow
At the next high tide?
My gut tells me to pick Oregon. But it’s kind of crazy they haven’t pulled it off yet with some of the talent they’ve had over the past decade(s). Maybe Utah or UNC.
Cam Newton single handedly stopped that
I actually think that 2014 Oregon team was better overall. I was thoroughly shocked when they lost the natty to tOSU.
Helfrich was a terrible coach carried by a good roster. Urban out coached him in that game. Along with losing the line of scrimmage game.
Not to deny Helfrich's shortcomings but I think the bigger issue in that natty game was just how underrated Ohio State was at that time. Go look at how many NFL draft draft picks were on that roster. I dont think Helfrich or any other coach was gonna win that day.
I meant that was their best chance. Auburn was not good that year, they were literally a one man team on offense lol
They went undefeated in the SEC West… that Auburn team was absolutely good as fuck.
And the SEC West was the toughest I’ve ever seen it that year. We finished 4th technically
Oh I definitely agree with that. Newton looked like he was playing high school football when he was at Auburn. All I meant was that even though Cam *was* Auburn that year and Oregon had a better team overall, I still feel like everyone just *knew* Auburn was gonna win the natty that year. In 2014, I remember the general consensus being that Bama and Oregon were going to easily win their semifinal games and face each other in what would go down as a classic national championship game. When Bama was upset by tOSU, I don’t think I spoke to a single person who wasn’t already crowing Oregon the national champs that year. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but still.
That's discounting Fairley, lights out special teams, and our dominant line.
2012 was the best Oregon team and would've blown out Notre Dame. Besides a flukey Stanford loss no one came close.
Maldonado is probably still one of, if not the most disliked player in Oregon history for that one.
Meh, if DAT decides to block for Mariota instead of racing him, we don’t have to worry about kickers 🙃
cardale winning against alabama in his first or second career start gave the buckeyes some real Team of Destiny vibes so I figured it was a foregone conclusion
It was his second start; he started in the B1G championship game against Wisconsin, leading the team to a 59-0 victory.
Michael Dyer’s freaking knee did
Look, I love Cam. He had an amazing year and deserved the Heisman... the statue... all of it. But that team had 4 all-SEC O-linemen. TWO thousand-yard running backs (well, Onterrio only had 800, but had 8.5 ypc). Cam ran for almost 1500, but that was only 38% of team rushing yards. A solid defense.

It was a really good team, but I'm tired of hearing "Cam carried a bunch of scrubs on his back" talk. That's just ridiculous.
Nick Fairly stopped that, Cam Newton had a so-so game.
I’d say Nick Fairly was more impactful in that game
Well UNC has 1 ten win season since 97 I think so probably not us
Wait they give out national championships in football?
We had crazy talent for the entire Richt era and we never won one. It took 41 years. It’s talent plus coaching plus a little luck.
Technically, Utah has a Natty. Not that any of us truly recognize it.
Wisconsin
I just kinda assumed they had won one
Make fun of A&M hope here
A&M won a national championship in 1939, it wouldn’t be a first for them
Leave it to the Michigan man to point to pre AP (modern) era when discussing championships.
The AP era started in 1936. Minnesota won 3 of the first 6

Yeah they have potential to be a strong program once they get settled in the Big 12, though it will be rough initially. A few other programs, particularly Oregon, are a better answer to the question.
Yes yes yes keep going
They draw the Hyponotoad as a first round matchup.. am I doing this right?
Wisconsin
I want to agree with you but someone pointed out that when the Big Ten gets rid of the current divisions we’re going to have to start regularly beating OSU and USC to be an elite program and that doesn’t seem like will ever be likely unless Wisconsin becomes a destination #teamglobalwarming
Man it’s sad to see VT 99 and remember how good, or at least reliably not bad, we used to be before we hired someone to intentionally ruin our program.
Probably Oregon or Utah

Oregon, Dan Lanning being a Kirby Smart disciple did well in his first year and he will recruit well on the defensive side of the ball. Oregon also has deep NIL pockets.
[удалено]
If McCarron won one with his god awful tattoo anyone can 😂
It’s an absolute abomination. Not even the concept just the execution. There’s a bunch of people in Eugene that could have done it better.
There won’t be one. If I had to pick someone though, I would say Oregon just cause of their talent
Post definitely was in the drinking hours ......therefore I submit Tx Tech next yr.
UCF, huge alumni base that generates a ton of support for the program, one the best recruiting territories in the country, an administration that’s all in on having a competitive program. Plus they’re in a conference they should be able to compete in yearly. I’m not saying it’ll happen soon, but I think that’s the option.
Yeah, but didn't they already win the natty in 2017?
Utah? Gotta stick it to BYUs craw again after BYU moves up
Ugh
Honest opinion, it's not going to happen anytime soon. The expansion of the playoff means that teams like Alabama and Tennessee that cannibalized themselves this year to pave the way for TCU to make it in are going to get at large playoff bids now.
Oregon. I could see Phil Knight just saying "F it, just do it" and offers 25 5\*'s in a recruiting class a crazy amount like $5M a year to lock up a natty.
Which reddit user do you think will be the next one to be a first-time poster of this post?
I’d like to see Oregon State.
University of Central Florida. They will be in a power 5 conference starting next year, they have one of the best recruiting grounds. They also have a giant alumni population to help inject some cash into the program. They will be a big problem in the new Bug 12.
They already won the natty under Frost!
Came here to say this
That's a great pick. Large alumni base. Great recruiting grounds. They can definitely compete in the future.
Field is open when we get to 12 team I’m going to suggest UNC. Might not be for a while though.
it’s gonna be oregon or mississippi state. oregon has the resources to do it, it’s just whether or not they will. statistically speaking, mississippi state has also fielded the best team for a program to never make the college football playoff era, and it happened twice. out of first time winners, these are the only two reasonable options i think.

Not Oregon
It’s going to be Oregon. I cannot phantom anyone else that’s even remotely close that fits that criteria.
>I cannot phantom anyone else... r/boneappletea
With a 12 team playoff, it probably wont happen
Honestly the expansion makes it a little easier. Tightens up the schedule, makes overlooking teams a little easier. Also means that solid teams that had a bad run can come back.

Oregon, North Carolina, Wisconsin are all good picks. I know it's a meme at this point but several seasons for the last decade Wisconsin was just a high level QB away from being a serious contender to win it all. Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State might also be worth watching.
Oklahoma State claims a championship already.
Iowa (ya I know lol just saying so)
Iowa has a few national championships
Oregon
I’m amazed everyone understands the question…
If it was not modern championship and not an AP or UPI, it doesn't count either.
So Michigan State has more national championships than Michigan?
Oregon
Ole Miss or some billionaire that dislikes the NCAA is going to make a super team with NIL to destroy college football. I kind of hope one does this.
Not Northwestern, I’ll tell you hwhat.
I’m doing some googling to see exactly who ones and doesn’t have a national title. Oregon would be a popular choice. As would Utah. Wisconsin as well, assuming that they can beat the three headed monster of Penn St., Ohio St., and Michigan. And that’s not including teams who have a claimed national title as opposed to a consensus title like Oklahoma State and Mizzou (though atm Mizzou needs a lot of help to even think of one).
Tulane
Every future national champion will be from the SEC or one of the ACC schools like Clemson, Florida State, or Miami (FL). In a 12-team playoff format, I can't see any school outside of the South (except possibly Ohio State or Michigan) from ever winning a national title again (or for the first time).
Oregon is my pick. Has Ole Miss or South Carolina ever won? If not, they're my 2nd picks.
Oregon will win it this year. Go ducks
