AP College Football Poll: The greatest programs of all-time, and also Virginia

Where do the Cavaliers rank among college football programs since the AP Poll was founded? The answer is not quite as bleak as recent memory might suggest

Which program is the best of them all? That’s the subject of a debate that has raged among college football fans for generations. The Associated Press provided a new data point on Tuesday when it released its “All Time Top-100” to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the weekly AP Poll. According to the AP, the top 5 programs of the last eighty years have been #1 Ohio State; #2 Oklahoma; #3 Notre Dame; #4 Alabama; and #5 Southern Cal.
