The AP's Top 100 All-Time College Football Programs

ESPN should take a lesson from the Associated Press, as they just released a list of the Top 100 All-Time College Football Programs, and their list actually seemed well researched and accurate, unlike any of ESPN's lists so far. But then again, that's why the AP is a well-respected source of bipartisan news, whereas ESPN is nowadays seen as an entertainment-fueled network that uses gossip and anonymous sources as its main tools and employees mostly twenty-something-year-olds.
