A victory over Notre Dame could trigger the NCAA to award Alabama a dynasty designation.

The NCAA will award dynasty status to programs that reach a title runs during a 10 year period. Bama last got this designation in the 70s--Miami had Dynasty status in the 80s. Fla State in the 90s. Very rare accomplishment.

Does anyone know how the NCAA evaluates the dynasty criteria and when they decide to reward it?

Reference to NCAA announcement of FSU Dynasty recognition
The Seminoles have a legendary coach, a tradition of excellence and a record of dominance that is unprecedented in college football history. Recently the NCAA declared FSU a "dynasty".

Of all the things.

Dynasties aren't awarded by the NCAA. They are in the minds and memories of football fans.

Not sure where you copied that from, but considering the NCAA doesn't recognize official national champions in FBS, there's about zero chance it's accurate.

That looks like a Wikipedia page. And we all know that nothing can be put on Wikipedia that isn't true :rolleyes:

Dynasties are for media and fans to discuss. They aren't something that ever becomes official.

There is an actual honorary designation and recognition that is given out and voted on by NCAA members. Several years ago it made the newscasts when Fla State received this honor.

Copying from a Wikipedia page is not proof the NCAA has recognized them and this list looks suspiciously like an abbreviated version of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynasty_(sports)#American_football

Why leave off everything above Notre Dame?
Here is the entire list:

  • Yale – 19 championships between 1874 and 1909 [SUP][67][/SUP]
  • Michigan – 4 championships in 4 years, 5 straight undefeated seasons between 1901–1905.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]
  • Pittsburgh, 1910–1918 – 5 championships in 9 seasons (1910, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918) [2][SUP][citation needed][/SUP]
  • Notre Dame, 1919–1930 – 6 championships in 1919, 1920, 1924, 1927, 1929, 1930 and an .892 winning percentage over 12 years.[SUP][67][/SUP]
  • Pittsburgh, 1925–1938 – 9 championships in 14 seasons (1925, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1938) [3][SUP][citation needed][/SUP]
  • Minnesota, 1934–1941 – 5 championships in 8 seasons (1934, 1935, 1936, 1940, 1941)[SUP][68][/SUP]
  • Army, 1944–46[SUP][69][/SUP]

Interesting note - one of the dynasties listed on the wiki page, Grand Valley State, was lifted to prominence by Brian Kelly - the current head coach of Notre Dame.

They use the word "dynasty" differently than I do.

(And it's clearly Wikipedia given the unbalanced information (heavy on Fla St, a little on Miami and USCw, nothing on the others)

In my mind, a dynasty (in sports) is a program that has achieved success and won championships over a span of decades.

Of all the things.

Dynasties aren't awarded by the NCAA. They are in the minds and memories of football fans.
Yes they are--see college football Hall of Fame Article from 2000

Jan. 10, 2000
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The College Football Hall of Fame unveiled its "Dozen Dynasties" exhibit Friday at the world-class sports museum in South Bend, Ind. Alabama, Florida State, Harvard, Miami (Fla.), Minnesota, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Southern California, Texas and Yale are the schools represented in the exhibit honoring the 12 greatest dynasties in college football history.
Notre Dame and Oklahoma are the only schools recognized as achieving "dynasty" status in two different eras. Notre Dame's first dynasty, from 1919-1930, featured head coach Knute Rockne, 101 victories and three national titles. Eleven years later, until 1955, the Fighting Irish had a stretch where they claimed four national titles amongst their 119 victories. Oklahoma's twin dynasties ran from 1948 to 1958 and from 1971 to 1980. The first run includes Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak that was a NCAA record until this season and three national titles. The second run was highlighted by back-to-back titles in 1974 and 1975.
The longest-running, and earliest dynasty, belonged to Yale from 1880 to 1909. In that span, Yale rang up 302 victories and 16 national titles. Harvard carried the Ivy League torch from 1906 to 1920 with 110 wins and national titles in 1908, 1910, 1912, 1913 and 1914.
In between the two Notre Dame dynasties, Minnesota ruled the college football world. From 1933 to 1941, the Golden Gophers notched 58 wins and five titles.
The Texas Longhorns were the team of the 1960s as coach Darrell Royal's troops won 123 games and were voted the nation's top squad three times from 1959 until 1972.
Sharing the college football spotlight with Oklahoma in the 1970s was Bear Bryant's Alabama teams and the Southern California teams of John McKay and John Robinson. From 1971 to 1980, the Crimson Tide tallied as many wins as the Sooners but scored one more national championship with three. From 1967 to 1979, the men of Troy rolled on to victory 122 times and to four national titles.
Two Florida schools, Miami and Florida State, are the most recent juggernauts featured by the exhibit. From 1983 to 1994, the Hurricanes blew through the college football landscape with 116 wins and four national titles with three different coaches - Howard Schnellenberger, Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson. The Seminoles, the only team currently listed as a dynasty, started its run in 1987 and has claimed two crowns and won 141 games under Bobby Bowden.
In addition to written material supporting the teams, the exhibit is rich with memorabilia from the respective eras. A letter sweater by Heisman Trophy winner Leon Hart of Notre Dame, a jersey worn by Texas Longhorn great James Saxton and a coaching shirt worn by Erickson are featured in the case along with a book on the Split-T formation written by legendary Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson and a Yale game program from 1889.

OK, I'm really not caring enough to continue this much longer, but that's the CFB HoF, not the NCAA. Find something on the http://www.ncaa.org website about it or drop it - these references to everything BUT the NCAA may as well be bleacherreport articles.

Again, your only two links are to a Rivals page & a Wikipedia page. Come back with something credible and we might believe you. Why can't we find any of this info on the NCAA website?
