Hey guys, I love football and I'm considering a school with a strong team. How important do you think the team's track record of successful seasons should be when I'm picking my college? Which colleges have had the most perfect seasons in football history?
When choosing a college, it's helpful to keep in mind your academic, career, and personal interests. Your passion for football is definitely an important factor, too. That said, a college's football team's track record should be one aspect of your decision, but not the entire basis for it. You'll want to look at numerous other things like the academic programs that interest you, the campus culture, location, and financial aid packages.
To answer your second question, there are quite a few universities with a strong history of excellence in football. Here are a few examples:
1. University of Alabama's Crimson Tide, led by Coach Nick Saban, boasts an impressive number of very successful seasons. The team has numerous national championships to its name.
2. The University of Oklahoma's Sooners have also consistently fielded strong teams.
3. Notre Dame's Fighting Irish have a rich football tradition with many perfect seasons. They've got a history filled with national championships and All-American players.
4. The University of Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes also possess a storied history in college football with a high number of successful seasons.
Again, it's awesome that you're passionate about football and no doubt school spirit and having a successful football team can notably heighten the college experience. However, it's just as important - if not more so - to research universities to ensure they have strong academic and social offerings that align with your interests and career goals.
