*****Auburn QB Hank Brown COMMITS to IOWA while visiting Dec 12 & 13 (3 Years Eligibility)*****

Here's a Top 10 list of national championships won.

Minnesota is on the list but they last won a natty 64 years ago.

I kinda forgot Notre Dame is in a 36 year natty drought.


10. MINNESOTA, 6

Championships: 1934, 1935, 1936, 1940, 1941, 1960

The Golden Gophers won their first national championship in 1934 and then proceeded to go back-to-back-to-back. Head coach Bernie Bierman, who previously played halfback at Minnesota, led the team to five national championships thanks to incredible rushing attack. In 1934, 90.7% of the Golden Gophers' yards came on the ground, and they averaged 295 rushing yards per game.

9. OKLAHOMA, 7

Championships: 1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, 2000

Oklahoma is the only college football program with four 100-win head coaches in the school's history: Bob Stoops (191 wins), Barry Switzer (157), Bud Wilkinson (145) and Bennie Owen (113). Switzer and Wilkinson each led the Sooners to three national championships. All of Oklahoma's national championships have been during the poll era (since 1936).

8. OHIO STATE, 8

Championships: 1942, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1970, 2002, 2014

In 1942, Ohio State won its first national championship despite the fact that 22 veteran players left the team to serve in World War II and the roster was mostly made up of sophomores. Like Oklahoma, all of Ohio State's national titles have been during the poll era. The Buckeyes have the second-most wins in NCAA history, and they won their most recent title in 2014, defeating Oregon in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship game.

7. HARVARD, 8

Championships: 1875, 1890, 1898, 1899, 1910, 1912, 1913, 1919

Harvard's college football program is one of the oldest in the nation, and they have the 10th-most wins in NCAA history. These days, Harvard and college football dominance aren't exactly synonymous. It's been more than 100 years since their last title, but the school's achievements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were certainly impressive.

6. USC, 9

Championships: 1931, 1932, 1962, 1967, 1972, 1974, 1978, 2003, 2004

USC won back-to-back titles on two separate occasions. In 2003 and 2004, Pete Carroll's squad won 25 of 26 games, including a 28-14 victory over Michigan in the 2003 Rose Bowl and a 55-19 blowout over Oklahoma in the 2004 Orange Bowl. The Trojans were must-see TV thanks to their high-octane offense led by Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Lendale White and Dwayne Jarrett. They would have 10 championships, but their 2004 title was vacated by the NCAA.

5. MICHIGAN, 10

Championships: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1933, 1948, 1997, 2023

Michigan won the most recent college football national championship versus Washington. Michigan previously won back-to-back-to-back-to-back national championships from 1901 through 1904, which is an incredible feat. The Wolverines also hold the NCAA record for most wins, which is a testament to their consistency over the years. Their 1997 national championship was important, as it broke a 49-year drought and gave the Wolverines just their second title in the poll era (since 1936).

4. NOTRE DAME, 13

Championships: 1919, 1924, 1929, 1930, 1943, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1964, 1966, 1973, 1977, 1988

Notre Dame is one of the most respected programs in all of college football. A big reason for that reputation is their sustained success across the 1900s. Frank Leahy led Notre Dame to six of their national championships (two as a player and four as a head coach). Their most recent national championship was in 1988, when the Fighting Irish defeated West Virginia 34-21 in the Fiesta Bowl.

3. PRINCETON, 15

Championships: 1869, 1870, 1872, 1873, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1885, 1889, 1893, 1896, 1903, 1906, 1911, 1922

Some would argue that Princeton belongs at No. 1 on this list, as the school claims 28 national championships (many of which were declared retroactively by the Billingsley Report). However, the NCAA only recognizes 15 of those titles (including the first national championship in 1869). Princeton's run of titles came during the late 1800s and early 1900s. While they are currently an FCS team, they won their titles at the highest level at the time. Without question, you can't tell the story of college football without including Princeton.

2. ALABAMA, 16

Championships: 1925, 1926, 1930, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2020

When fans think of college football dominance, Alabama immediately comes to mind, as they have been a powerhouse across multiple eras. Bear Bryant led the Crimson Tide to six championships across the 1960s and 1970s. In recent years, Nick Saban has matched Bryant's six titles since taking over as head coach in 2007. The Crimson Tide are perennial contenders and their roster is a revolving door of future NFL stars. Alabama has produced 422 NFL/AFL draft picks, including 21 top-five selections. They have won an NCAA-record 13 championships in the poll era. It's very possible they'll sit atop this list in the near future.

1. YALE, 18

Championships: 1874, 1876, 1877, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1900, 1907, 1909, 1927

Its all these things.
Below average OL play + undersize WR's unable to get open and catch a ball + poor QB talent + predictable, stubborn play calling = worst offense in CFB for two years in a row.
Lester is in year one. Modest improvement has been made. 2 more years will tell.



If what I said disqualifies one from being a Hawkeye fan, you will be the only one left.

Doubt it. But you'd probably be happier following a better team.

Interesting; did that happen recently? I believe he came in as a Preferred Walk on.

He is still a PWO, but I think he has a shot at getting a scholarship based on Lester's public comments about his throwing ability. He possibly even had a deferred scholarship offer as soon as one became available, which won't be until January and the super seniors drop off the roster.

Thank you for the clarification on Jackson Stratton. I am surprised 24/7 doesn't have an accurate list.

During the bye week, Kirk also mentioned that Jackson could really sling it.

Now, can we get our receivers open? ;)

Not sure why you can't have a scholarship limit and a more liberal walk on limit because some of those walk ons eventually earn a scholarship.

I think the logic behind it is that in this new age of moneyball the scholarship limit didn't really have enough impact on restricting the number of players getting paid to play. That was the original intent behind capping the scholarships in the first place, to foster competition by restricting the number of players any given school could pay to play. Today NIL is a bigger factor than scholarships.

I have no idea, but is 105 the right number?

It seems like a lot of coaches, including KF, are displeased, because you have less for practice, etc.

Its interesting, too, that we have 5 QBs taking up roster spots.

No idea where 105 came from but that's where they landed, so... Again, I kinda doubt that more than 3 of these names are still on the roster come fall. I think Shaggy and/or Fitz are most likely gone by then and Iowa ends up with 4 at most.

The players got what they wanted. The 105 cap in on them. Edit: I assume 105 came from some Title IX study.
