For the purposes of these rankings, the 1800's are considered to be a single decade.
In these rankings, I have not included prestige from Hall of Famers because: (a) some players' (Jack Tatum, Jim Stillwagon) and many coaches' (Woody Hayes, Earle Bruce, John Cooper) careers spanned more than one decade, and (b) Hall of Fame inclusion is a lagging indicator of prestige (for example, Orlando Pace left Ohio State after the 1996 season, and he is still not in the College Football Hall of Fame).
