Top 25 programs of the last 25 years - #18 VT & #19 PSU

Ford's decision stung, but hopefully this gives us a little consolation. I'm here for ya'll.

Top 25 in past 25 years.

#18 VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES

National Titles: 0
Top 10 Finishes: 7
Top 25 Finishes: 18
Record since 1993: 233-89 (.724)

Frank Beamer built one of the nation's most underrated programs in Blacksburg. They lost in the 1999 title game with Michael Vick, the only time that they have finished in the Top 6, but were consistently ranked until the end of Beamer's tenure. Justin Fuente has come in and gone 19-8 in his first two seasons.

#19 PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS

National Titles: 0
Top 10 Finishes: 7
Top 25 Finishes: 14
Record since 1993: 214-98 (.686)

Penn State could have (should have?) won the national title in 1994, before we had a playoff that would have decided it on the field. The program has had only one other top 6 finish since then (2005). But after a tumultuous decade on and off the field with the Jerry Sandusky scandal, followed by Bill O'Brien leaving quickly for the NFL, James Franklin has the program on the rise again with consecutive top 10 seasons.
