Texas and USC are very close.  Like others have mentioned, I'd say it's the bits aside from historical on-field results that make the biggest difference.  So I'll say


Texas
USC

USC and Texas are both helmets. Texas has been off my radar for football stuff for about a decade now. USC just won the Rose I'll give them a recency bump.

USC
Texas
Arkansas - should be every voters 3rd place





Scoreboard beeyotch. :)

Heh, I was sooooo about to ask if you were scorboarding me on Vince Young Vs OSU, or Vince Young Vs USC; and comment that I said about a decade ago... Totally forgetting the 2009 Fiesta Bowl, that was a great game and a very good win by UT. Scoreboard indeed.

(But I'm not changing my helmet vote till Texas can put together consecutive seasons that are better than USC.

I'm sticking to my top 3 of Notre Dame, Texas, Michigan, but I've liked some of the USC arguments.  I think they've solidified themselves as my #4.  Still trying to round out the rest of my clear 7 helmets (Alabama, OSU, Oklahoma)

I wonder if the Cotton Bowl being relegated to irrelevance the last 20 years hinders Texas in something like this...random, I know.  But it may.
I think it does somewhat because if you look at Texas' history you see a bunch of Cotton Bowls and today's Cotton Bowl isn't what it once was so those look less impressive than they should.  Meanwhile all of USC's RoseBowl wins still look great.

Having the Cotton Bowl slip out for a few years is interesting.  Now it's back.


I doubt a Peach Bowl win in 1972 is going to gain any allure though.

I never thought I'd see some directional school over Texas.

That's a pretty B1G-centric view.

There were periods in the 80s and 90s when national perception of the Rose Bowl was low due to perceived lack of strength in the PAC and B10.  The term "Doze Bowl" was extremely common in the 90s.

Sucking pretty badly for the past 7 years has taken its toll, no doubt.  I could see putting any and all of these teams ahead of Texas in a helmet ranking right now:

Notre Dame
USC
Michigan
Ohio State
Alabama
Oklahoma
