I'm sure we all have a decent notion as to which programs are "most valuable", using some criteria or other.  One could start with stadium size as one raw metric that works OK to start.  Apparel numbers are mostly known (OSU aside).  Size of fan base.  Enthusiasm of fans.  Recen on field.

I think in Tier One I'd group OSU for sure, ND, Michigan, Texas, Alabama, kind of abbreviated BBs in fact.

The western states obviously are much larger because territories wanted to be states and needed a certain population, give or take.  I guess Iowa is the smallest state W of the Miss.  Other than Hawaii.
'How the States Got Their Shapes'  is a fun book/read.

Texas would be tops if the ags hadn't stolen 1/3 of our oil money!
As the old joke goes, we picked first.  Lots of chatter that A&M should be allotted more due to the fact that there is no longer a size disparity, and if anything A&M is much bigger studentwise now than UT.  I have no idea about the size of the add-on universities or how much funding they receive from the PUF.

Uh,ya Santana/SRV/Duane Allman top 5-10-15 you can mix/match this mess depends on what you feel like listening to. I'd have Roy Buchannon,BB and Albert king and throw in Gary Moore if we're talking just blues.Sure Hendrix was good but a lot of sunshine pumpers slobbering because he died young and lit his guitar on fire " Down in Monterey" great tune by Eric Burden

Oops left out Chalie Daniels a great picker in his own right. Bob Dylan requested him before he was Charlie in '69 so that's him on Nashville Skyline playing guitar and bass. Johnny Cash also played on that album

This isn't a ranking, but an ask for help.  I haven't been able to research it any, so if someone pops up off the top of your head, let me know:

For Whoa Nellie, I'm filling an all-time teams order.  Are there any players who earned their way onto an all-time team (of the top 40 programs, historically)?

Like 2 years ago a ND DE became their all-time leader in sacks, so I added him in.  Think:  big career stats (passing, rushing, receiving, sacks, INTs) at one school.

One thing I hadn't thought of is with all this movement from school to school under the portal era, there are A LOT of guys having a big year at their 3rd school, which is going to leave them off my WN all-time teams.

Anyways, thanks for the help.
