it's also worthless to use all-time wins because teams started fielding programs at different times. look at football's all-time wins list. Alabama is like 7th all-time in wins. I doubt any Alabama fan would, nor should they, buy the argument that means anything


I debunked this last year. Bama's All-Time wins ranking in the SEC has not been heavily influenced by the year in which the programs started competing.

i'm talking about all programs, not just SEC programs. And it isn't just when they started playing games that makes a difference. It's also titles.For instance, Michigan is #1 in all-time wins and #2 in all-time winning percentage. However, they have only won one national title since 1948. Texas is 4th all-time in wins and 6th all-time in winning percentage, yet they have 4 national titles and just one since 1970. Honestly, Texas had a good run for 8 years where they won 3 national titles, but historically underachieve
