I think team prestiage needs to be tuned

Ok..... Still don't much since I provided the facts. Your argument is best off 1 decade and 1 national title in that time.

But it's your list

"Between 1990 and 1999, Florida State led the nation in major bowl appearances (nine), major bowl wins (seven), consensus All-Americans (19), weeks at No. 1 (58), 10-win seasons (10), first-round draft picks (13) and top-5 finishes (10). The 1993 season was especially great, with three consensus All-Americans, the Heisman winner (Charlie Ward) and a national championship." - ESPN

There just isn't a lot of logic in putting FSU that high. They dominated a decade, true, I believe them and the Braves were the teams of the 90's. But both of these teams only have one title to show for it. I'd rather have rings.

Yup I agree and I'm not hating on Florida State because they were a really good team in the 90's. But other teams have done just as much through the 90's-present as I shown with stats

And not to mention it was LAST decade, and he seems to ignore the past decade where FSU wasn't so mighty. Recent success should be a significant factor, and trust me I'm not hating on your rankings cuz I love the 10* idea...actually we might be going overboard hassling you about FSU haha but eh friendly debate.

They've been good since the '70s and then dominated an entire decade, from start to finish, and have had success recently as well. That's pretty great. Maybe this will make you guys feel better tho:

But IMHO, I believe Florida State is much more deserving of a 9* than Notre Dame.....

Call me a homer but the winningest program in the past almost decade should be a 9* atleast, with 2 National Championships in that time span. 10* should be reserved for historically great teams and I think you got those right, Notre Dame is so debatable I don't think anyone can be right.
