I mean I'm currently on a team engineering a $400m site for a customer who's listed on the S&P500.
So not too shabby.

Sam is a recent playoff contender on a regular basis. The Bearkats didn't make it to the playoffs much under Ron Randleman, and didn't make it under Todd Whitten. However, Sam Houston is located in a recruiting hotbed, with the school being located in the Greater Houston area, and the Houston area produces plenty of talent, especially state powerhouses like Katy and Galena Park North Shore. The SHSU campus is about 70 miles due north of downtown Houston. Sam is also making some recruiting inroads into the DFW Metroplex.
I think some of you "newer" guys (you're all new to me) need to go back and read the premise of these rankings. This is not all-time and it's not just playoff records. Everyone can make up their own rules for how you grade a program and how far back you want to go. Delaware would be a no-brainer if you go back further, but they are not on my list because they have been down for several years.
And yes, my quick list was alpha (obviously) and Weber was not only the last team in order, but the last team to make the list. I was struggling to put find a 10th that was worthy.
Look at the ol' 89Hen showing his beak around the place. Good to see you my man!
He is one of the bricks that this place was built on so you SOB's better show some respect!

Had fun digesting these numbers, and my hats off to the old guard listed here for their consistent appearances. One thing to notice is the number of appearances and winning percentage and how it correlates. Prime example is between Northern Iowa and Eastern Kentucky....same number of appears but even with two titles Eastern is out ranked by Northern due to the fact Northern has won more games to advance. I hope some of these old guard teams re-gain their moxie soon and re-appear in the play-off scene. We "relatively new upstarts" would love to see their resurgence to relevance to broaden the play-off scene and keep putting positive light on the FCS level of play. Actually playing for a play-off title has more meaning than a new writers ranking and a bowl game appearance. Pride of achievement! Reward for the hard work! Playing for something meaningful has relevance.
