I'm starting to think about colleges, and as someone who's super into football, I'd love to attend a school with a robust football history. So, I'm looking for suggestions - what are some of the most storied college football teams in your opinion?
Sure, there are plenty of colleges with notable football history! Here are a few:
1. University of Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish tradition is one of the most iconic in college football. They've had several national championships, Heisman Trophy winners and a large number of players go on to successful NFL careers. These guys even have a movie about them - "Rudy!"
2. University of Alabama: With numerous national championships in recent years under coach Nick Saban, and historically strong performance, the Crimson Tide is a force to be reckoned with on the college football scene.
3. University of Michigan: The Wolverines boast one of the winningest programs in college football history, with a storied rivalry against Ohio State.
4. University of Southern California (USC): USC Trojans have consistently maintained a strong football program and have had numerous Heisman Trophy winners.
5. Ohio State University: The Buckeyes have one of the most successful programs in college football and boast an intense rivalry with the University of Michigan, culminating in their annual game known widely as "The Game."
6. University of Texas: The Longhorns have a rich football history and a storied rivalry with the Oklahoma Sooners, leading to the Red River Showdown, one of the most anticipated games each season.
These are just a few examples. There are plenty of other schools with strong football programs and histories out there so I encourage you to continue your research. Remember that while a strong sports program can significantly add to your college experience, also take into account the academic programs, community, location, and other factors when making your college decision. Football season is exciting but it only lasts a few months out of the academic year!
