Personally, my top would be SMU, PSU, USC, and Bama. I doubt anyone could convincingly argue against those picks.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Sure. But if you are going to go there, pretty much every non-HBUC school is going to be on that list.
Yes, but some programs held on longer than others, correct?
Boise State should be on the list based solely on the color of their turf.

It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
I think some people enjoy this sort of thing more than they actually enjoy college football, which I will never understand.

True again but then the list is still mighty long with pretty much every school below the Mason Dixon line "holding on." It's also more of an indictment of the universities not admitting African Americans until the mid 60s than the programs denying them the opportunity to play. After all, you can't play someone who isn't admitted to your school. Even schools that had African Americans playing more than likely had quotas on how many could play at one time and what positions they could play.
First time I ever saw that field on TV I thought something was wrong with my TV. I started trying to adjust the color and everything until I figgered it out. It was actual color of the field.

I'm not convinced players using illegal handicap parking stickers should have landed UCLA on the list. Did UCLA try to cover it up or something?

Pretty much every top tier college football program.
