Alabama Tops List Of 2010s All-Time Greatest Teams
The Associated Press has been ranking college football teams for quite a few years now. There are times, over the years, when the AP differed from the other services. However, in more recent years, such as through the BCS years and now the CFP, the AP has matched the outcome.
Between 2010-15, the Alabama Crimson Tide has captured three National Championships. Of the six, the Southeastern Conference owns four. Auburn in 2010 and Alabama in in 2011, 2012, and 2015. Florida State out of the ACC took the title in 2013. Then Ohio State stepped up for the first time in several years to capture the title in 2014.
2010 - 2015 AP National Champions:
2010 Auburn
2011 Alabama
2012 Alabama
2013 Florida State
2014 Ohio State
2015 Alabama
Using a point system devised by the CFN scoring system, the following is a list of the All-Time Greatest Teams. The Southeastern Conference had nine teams in the top 25, and another four receiving vote, or points, and also included in the overall list.
The Southeastern Conference is represented by The University of Alabama (1), LSU (9), South Carolina (11), Auburn (T14), Georgia (17), Mississippi State (19), Missouri (20), Texas A&M (21) and Arkansas (22). Other SEC schools accumulating points are Florida (T31), Ole Miss (T40), Vanderbilt (T48) and Tennessee (T50). That would make a total of 13 schools from the SEC making the list. Kentucky was the only school not receiving points and therefore not appearing in the list.
These rankings are created according to the CFN scoring system – this isn’t the official AP ranking of its all-time greatest teams.
