Okay, fellas.  Here's a sporcle quiz on helmets - do it just for fun.  I got 'em all in 6:48.  This isn't a competition, I'm just looking at the stats of the quiz.  But try it if you have 6:48 to kill.

10:30. Missed two. Mixed up State of Ball and ULaMo.

FSU's rate is between Georgia and Michigan.  Relatively high.  Oddly, Clemson, Syracuse, and UNC are the top 3.  Maybe a lot of people from ACC country have taken this quiz. 
Lowest P5 helmet (not all P5 programs are included, it's 72 random helmets from FBS):  Washington State.

Odd about WSU, since their flag has been flying on Gameday for 30 years.

40 years before the last 40:
1. Oklahoma
2. Penn St
3. Ohio St
4. Alabama
5. USC
6. Texas
7. Nebraska
8. Michigan
9. ND
10. Arkansas
11. Tennessee
.
The last 40 years:
1. Ohio St
2. Florida St
3. Florida
4. Oklahoma
5. Alabama
6. Georgia
7. Nebraska
8. Miami
9. Penn St
10. Michigan
11. Clemson
.
According to this, and this dumps all the pre-WWII junk - Nebraska is a solid helmet and so is Penn St.  
Tennessee and ND can go suck a big, fat one.  The Florida schools' results are on par with what ND, USC, and such did back in the day.  
I think there's obvious recency bias against the "johnny-come-latelies".  But 40 years is 40 years.  Notre Dame = Kansas State the last 40 years, plus a TV contract.  The numbers don't lie.  USC is between Wisconsin and Auburn.  Texas is behind VA Tech.

Our idea of a helmet program is dated.

The whole idea of a Helmet Program to me has sparing to do with wins and losses.

The programs with the most wins of late may not be HPs at all.  But, whatever.

Perhaps it is random.

I agree, but....

the dudes that came up with the "helmet" program idea and definition are older than 40.

Hallowed 8 Helmet Programs, 1970-1979:
win%, Team
.877  OU
.863  Alabama
.848  Michigan
.820  Nebraska
.811  Ohio St
.805  ND
.803  USC
.770  Texas
.
.814  Penn St
.654  Tennessee
.
The Vols were behind Georgia, LSU, Arkansas, and new-to-P5-status Houston and Arizona St.

it seems the 70's were the decade that made helmets, but I'd go farther........


1 Alabama 
2 Nebraska 
3 Penn State
4 Boise State
5 Oklahoma 
6 Ohio State
7 Southern Cal
8 Texas
9 Michigan

10 Arkansas

mine said 4:55 (I think that's how much time was left.)
I missed Nevada, clicked on New Mexico. I kicked myself as soon as I did it.
I also saved NC State for the end because I really thought it was Stanford. (Maybe small screen or bad eyes.)

Huh, was there a "skip" function? I could have probably done it faster and more accurately if I hadn't had to pick out a few of the G5 schools I didn't know right up front...
