ESPN's Prestige Rankings are a numerical method of ranking the best FBS programs since the 1936 season. Point values were assigned for certain successes (win a national title, earn 25 points) and failures (get your program banned from the postseason, lose two points). The research department ran all the numbers through the computer to come up with the No. 1 program (and Nos. 2 to 119) of the past 73 seasons. ESPN.com will be rolling out the rankings all week. Here's a look at the rankings during the 1980s and 1990s: Prestige Rankings 1980s 1990s 1. Miami (FL) -- 427 2. Nebraska -- 356 3. Oklahoma -- 325 4. Penn State -- 271 5. Michigan -- 263 6.
