How many bowls has MSU won in the past decade? How many conference championships, or for that matter, runner up in the conference? One nine win season and MSU fans think they're the greatest thing since electricity.

Let me add that I have never liked the way "prestige" plays out in this game.

I can take a one start FIU, and, as long as I win 9 games a year, I can have it as a 6 star team in 5-6 years.

I don't care if FIU went undefeated for 5-6 years. No one would consider them a program on the level of most of these 6 stars.

My opinion of Iowa is that I wish UM never had to play in Iowa again.... I think they're middle of the road in terms of prestige, but they always seem to overachieve with regard to their talent level.

I think it's safe to say that every school has down years. Do you think the USC and the Florida's of the college football world have been good since the beginning? No.

I will also say I don't think Bama is a 6-star program... yet. See what Saban does in the next two years and then we can talk. Prestige is more than just history and tradition, it's also what have you done lately. I feel good saying Utah and Boise (and TCU, too) have been just as good if not better in the last decade than Penn State and several other BCS schools.

Yes prestige is what you have done lately. But I consider prestige to be more of a history thing. If not, then why is Notre Dame 6*?

Quote:

Combining the history and the here-and-now into the prestige rating is why I am fine with Utah and Boise being on equal prestige footing as Penn State, Nebraska, Tennessee, and others.

Of course you're fine with it. You're a Utah fan. I have no problem with BSU and Utah being 5*. But if that's the case then I think Penn State should be 6*

Well I think Utah should be a 3

How about the fact that we're the worst-rated team in the Big Ten, though?

Shocked to see Temple as a one star. That high? Really...
