College Football's All-Time Winning Percentage
Folks, the NCAA took away 21 wins from the University of Notre Dame Football team back in 2018..
- They took the 12 wins away from our undefeated season in 2012
- They took away the 9 wins from our 2013 season
- Story: VACATED WINS
I will never agree with that decision, nor will I recognize that in the chart listed below. As we go into the 2020 college football season, here's the All-Time Winning Percentages of the Top Ten College Football programs. Look who is on top!
ALL TIME WINNING PERCENTAGE:
- NOTRE DAME: 929-326-42 = .73246%
- Ohio State: 924-326-53 = .72947%
- Boise State: 460-170-2 = .72943%
- Michigan: 962-346-36 = .72917%
- Alabama: 916-331-43 = .72674%
- Oklahoma: 908.327-53 = .72554%
- Texas: 916-375-53 = .70431%
- USC: 847-351-54 = .69808%
- Nebraska: 902-395-40 = .68960%
- Penn State: 898-398-42 = .68942%
Please note: I received a request from Robert Pallone (Annapolis, MD) -- who sent me an email this morning -- to post this information. Robert has been following the Fighting Irish since the 1940's! Robert, thanks for reaching out to me!
