Associated Press Name Ohio State Buckeyes Best College Football Program...

...Ever.
"To determine an all-time Top 100 for the first time, the AP counted poll appearances (one point) to mark consistency, No. 1 rankings (2 points) to acknowledge elite programs and gave a big bonus for AP championships won (10 points).
The results are here and below:

No. 1 Ohio State (1,112 points)
Total appearances: 852, 77.24 percent of all polls.
First appearance: 1936.
No. 1 rankings: 105.
Championships: Five (last 2014).
Best full decade: 1970s appeared in 92.57 percent of polls.
Worst full decade: 1940s appeared in 55.68 percent of polls.
Poll point: There have only been three seasons during the 80-year history of the AP poll in which the Buckeyes were not ranked at least once, the fewest poll-less seasons of any program."

2. Oklahoma
3. Notre Dame
4. Alabama
5. Southern California
6. Nebraska
7. Michigan
8. Texas
9. Florida State
10. Florida

You can argue favoritism if you like. But the Buckeyes are pretty badass.
