Consider this:

Of the top 3 major men's college sports Oklahoma State University is home to two athletes that are often voted the greatest college players of all time in their respective sports.

Think of all the players who have come and gone in the last 130 years in each sport against the fact that none have done it better than Pete Incaviglia and Barry Sanders.

Not bad for a university smack in the middle of fly over country in the central plains of Oklahoma.

Proud and Immortal.

@ChadSeale @joeblowgamecock @ScalleysBurnerr You're right that my use of the word "modern" is not the correct verbage. In terms of national titles it is a clear demarcation.

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@ChadSeale @joeblowgamecock @ScalleysBurnerr Look it up. 1936 is the first year that the AP poll was used and in that way the first time we had a unified system (that was later made more complicated by an additional poll) of crowning a national champion. It's a pretty clear line of demarcation if you do some digging.

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@ChadSeale @joeblowgamecock @ScalleysBurnerr It's a date that's often used, as it's the beginning of the AP poll and the first time there was a real time national way to crown a champion. It's considered the "modern" era of football. Many of the stats you see listed on TV use that year as the starting point.

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@ChadSeale @joeblowgamecock @ScalleysBurnerr Correct from 1996 through 2010 the XII had the second most national titles. And for the historical are you sure you're looking at the numbers from 1936 to 2010?

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@_MamaD11 I believe that's latin 😁

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

From 1996 (when it was formed) through 2010 (when Texas destroyed things) the XII had the second most national championships. As of 2010 when the XII started to crumble the SEC had 21 national titles, the XII and BIG had 18, the ACC had 10, the PAC had 9 (that's from when the poll system began in 1936).

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@BPhantomVol @ScalleysBurnerr Totally agree. And that might make it more difficult.

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@ChudDawg @ScalleysBurnerr Why so angry? It's just the truth. No one is saying the SEC isn't good. Just that (traditionally) it isn't as far ahead as SEC folk believe. Hell oSu split with the Bulldogs in 07/09 games. It's not like the XII was the little sisters of the poor.

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@ARJ1122 @ScalleysBurnerr Why is it dumb? Especially for Mizzou and aTm? 75% of their rosters were the same as when they were in the XII?

[Nick The Geek @n_squared614]

@joeblowgamecock @ScalleysBurnerr We had the second most national championships of the power conferences before Texas destroyed it in 2010. There was zero wrong with the XII.
