Best football programs since 2000.

Congrats on OU's participation trophy from some obscure website

Participation trophy?.. to get that spot, you actually had to win some hardware. National titles and/or conference titles... Something your guys would know nothing about. Thus your discounting the site and knocking other peoples spot in it.

To get that spot, some kid in his basement had to put OU there. And even then, second place. Do they give out ribbons for that honor?

This from a supporter of a program that has never won a conference championship - Big 8, Big 12, or SEC.

A banner year for the black and gold, race protests resulting in declining applications, a football team walkout, and now proven allegations of cheating in the basketball program. Nice operation you folks have down there in Columbia.

Excellent straw man. You do realize that this thread has nothing to do with Mizzou, right?

I'm not about to cross wccards. He's in the Missouri hall of fame, haven't you heard?
Still not even sure how you even managed to bring me up in this, but I'll note your man crush on me. I appreciate it, Willy
 
How bout dem Buckeyes?!?
Was surprised OSU was #1, figured top 5. Expected Bama just because of the titles. Also expected USC to be hurt more by the Reggie Bush stuff. I thought they were stripped of their wins/rankings?
 
Again I ask, Alabama at number 7?

Totally agree. May not of been as good at 5he start of this period but they are as close to a dynasty as we have seen in a long time. Should be number one.
 
And I guess Notre Dame is ranked because of.. history. Not surprised an anti-missouri fan posted this pretty much bogus poll. Missouri didn't make the cut, congrats. But, hey they over-ranked OU because.. history. That's all good. Thanks. I'm surprised they didn't sneak in Nebraska.
 
Well at least Notre Dame has a history.

And to Cowherd - Yes, I do realize this thread has nothing to do with Mizzou - the title of the thread made it obvious.

I'm not saying I agree with the rankings but it isn't like OU hasn't won a few conference titles and a national title during the timeframe listed (those come with actual trophies) Oklahoma has probably been the most consistently good program during that time though the titles make Bama and tOSU the top 2.

MoRock you're going to rank ND above Mizzou. That is a given. I would have too, if they had done something since 2000. They haven't.

I really am no fan of ND but they have as many conference titles as Missouri since 2000 and they played for a NC a few years ago. On balance both of them probably should be about #25.

Truth is ND played but didn't compete for a NC. And they can't be conference champ, so there's that. The missouri hater credo will always be "win a conference title". I get that. The Tigers need to win one. The next few seasons scare me. I can imagine the abuse Mizzou fans will absorb from the Missouri High School football fans on this board in the next few seasons. I get that too. We have done a lot of crowing about how our home state school has had some successful seasons. BUT, I'm not sorry for being a rube. Peace.

Ok, I'll bite. How many national titles has OU won since the 2000 season? I think about as many as Iowa State.

None but although the article is poorly worded it includes the 2000 season. OU has played for the title 3 other times and lost in the semis this season so that is why they are ranked high. Plus you have the conference titles.

The ND- Missouri comparison is more relevant than OU-ISU.
 
Sorry I accomplished more at age 12 than you will in your entire life? Don't know what you want here.

Playing in a below average tournament at age 12!!! Laughable at best! The true definition of participation award!! Oh, it must be a huge tournament cause it is on ESPN, actually no it sells, that's about it. 9u teams in Kansas City and St. Louis play on bigger fields!

Looks accurate to this guy ^^^^^

Clearly bama only winning 4 NC's since 2000 places them squarely at 7 on the list. Well done.

I don't get hating on the LLWS. I realize nowadays a lot of top players skip Little league and just play travel ball and I coached some travel ball for a bit but Little League Regional-World Series is good baseball and the talent pool was deeper back when wccards21 played.
 
As far as rankings for since 2000 they are all going to be somewhat arbitrary. Sporting news had an article last July of the top 15 programs since 2000 and it's top 5 was:

1. Ohio St
2. USC
3. Bama
4. OU
5. Florida St

My rankings since 2000 would be more like:
1. Bama
2. Ohio St
3. Florida
4. Oklahoma
5. Florida St
6. USC
7. LSU
8. Texas...though moving down list lately
9. Miami ...based mostly by 2000-2005
10. Auburn

It is the true definition of participation award. The fences are 200 feet? 9u doesn't even play on that small of a field in Kansas City or St. Louis. It is a terrible tournament in comparison to other tournaments. Take wccards21 team, and who did they beat to get out of Missouri? I highly doubt any quality teams, really good baseball players in Missouri do not play Little League! There is not hate, but he brings up participation awards alot in other posts. He is the true definition of participation award. He is on a football forum and contributed nothing to a football field, but yes the high school he went to is really good. He says he blew his arm out, give me a break, he just couldn't cut it! He participated!

I am a little less confused now. I've got that guy on ignore hahaha. He seems to follow me around like a lost puppy.

I wonder if being invited to Area Code stuff is good enough? Probably not.

Thats probably a pretty fair listing. I'd say Boise would be close.....top 12-15. That is pretty impressive for a small school to be up there. I know they made the sporting news list, read the same story yesterday

wccards21 "I have that guy on ignore"

That is great, he probably should, since he is a lifetime participation award winner! His defense, area code determined bad baseball tournament? Not likely, big time baseball is not for everyone!

wccard21 is that guy that says, I don't have a facebook account! Then activates and deactivates to troll around and see what is being said. "I have him on ignore, cause he follows me around like a puppy!" Please, you say the dumbest stuff on here, that is all!
