He's a very consistant coach. He's got a formula that keeps us near the top. A few more tweeks here and there, and we could have a couple more Top 1 finishes.

is it that you dont care or that you just dont know? OSU was OSU before tressel got there. Bowden took a program was 4-29 the 3 previous season prior to his arrival and built them into a national power.

I found it funny that someone would try to troll this topic without actually completely shitting on it. Kudos to you.
You want to discuss FSU, go ahead, I assume your new thread function is operational.i guess that is a major accomplishment. but it pails in comparison to FSU's 14 or 15 consectutive top 5 finishes

i thought the title was "top five finishes" that what i was discussing. i didnt know it only about OSU's top 5 's. but you tried to down play the accomplishments of fsu's 15 consectutive top 5 finishes by saying bowden only had 1 in his first ten years.

And if you read the first post, you can easily tell the meaning of the thread is to compare the programs with the most top 5 finishes in the last 10 years since Tressel has been at tOSU.

People only remember the #1 ranked team, not who finishes 2-5.

They might not specifically remember who finished 2-5... but if you're top 5 enough your program develops tradition, history, clout, prestige.... and that matters when recruiting... but it's not everything.

Some schools are horrible and finish unranked a handful of years, but yet......they still recruit well. (ND, FSU, Miami, Tenn)
