It’s not claiming a title. It’s pointing out that their best opportunity (relative to the field) was stripped. I can only imagine if that happened to Auburn. Hell, you claim a bunch of mythical football titles already. And lest we forget the “official 2019 national title.”🤣
Bill self is 3-7 in elite 8 games all time. Going back to his Illinois days even. Kansas is by far the best program of all time If just the regular season is judged however. Why shouldn’t auburn claim a title in 2004 for football. Who beat us?
Excellent thread.Let’s say the Wildcats win two games in New Orleans. It would be their fourth national championship, tying them for sixth all-time with UConn and one more than Kansas.
I believe the general consensus is that Villanova is *not* a blueblood at the moment but are an elite program. However, would they be if Jay Wright gets his third title? If not, what more would they have to do? This is coming from a Villanova hater, by the way (Scottie f****** Reynolds).
Damn Bert. That last paragraph has me even feeling bad for you. That bad huh? Didn’t expect that to ever come out of you.
His Elite 8 record isn’t great, but he deserves credit for being in that game every other year. And he shouldn’t be penalized for losing with a Tulsa team that wasn’t supposed to be there.
Football didn’t have an official method for even awarding titles until 24 years ago. Helms titles were how along ago again? I am fine with your covid argument. It’s basically what occurred with football until 1998
Yeah, but it’s the same argument for Helms. It’s all we have from that era.
I can somewhat see your point. Auburn had a football team in 1913 that went undefeated and didn’t up give up a point all season. Was not even scored on. Yet it’s not recognized as a national title
Step aside and let an Iowa fan decide!
Two things:
Why would we yearn for something that already exists?
Nope.....Asides from I guess a shot at Indiana---which, I mean, ok? I'm assuming that was your goal?
Strange that you never make this argument about Kentucky.
Uh, that’s a huge part of why they have that many titles. Many of them were won when only the conference winner was invited and you only had to win a few games in a field that left out a bunch of the top teams in the nation. Titles from that era were much easier to come by than now, especially if your league offered no competition. There’s a reason that they won as many titles in a 10 year period in the 40s/50s as they have in the 60+ years since.
LOL. Texas schools only account for a couple of those.
