Total wins is kind of a misleading metric anyway though, considering some programs began decades earlier than others.


First year playing football:

Auburn - 1892
Alabama - 1892
Ole Miss - 1893
LSU - 1893
Mississippi State - 1895
Arkansas - 1894
Texas A&M - 1894

Georgia - 1892
Tennessee - 1891
Vanderbilt - 1890
Florida - 1992.....j/k - 1906
Kentucky - 1892
Missouri - 1890
South Carolina - 1892

So, Florida is the only one that began more than 5 years after the others...remember, most of these teams played 3-5 game schedules in the early years.

This Mizzou fella is like that old Southwest Airlines commercial where the girl asks to use an acquaintance's restroom, opens the medicine cabinet and it falls apart, making a huge noise down the hall. Startled, the girl looks up and the voice intervenes, "Wanna get away?" He probably wishes he didn't post something so damn dumb and he can't back it up. LSU would have to go 10-2 and Tennessee would have to go 5-7 over that period. As bad as UT is this past decade, they aren't Vandy or Kentucky bad, or Purdue or Illinois bad. That's for damn sure.

And I bet UT breaks 900 before Mizzou wins the SEC.

Solid observation.

Also, on another note, let's not forget from where the brunt of arky's and nearly all a&m's come.

frick floriduh, but they've been playing big boys MUCH longer.

wrong, the only reason UF's all-time wins is closer to Arky than the others is we started playing football in 1906 while Arky started in 1894, so they had a 12 year head start but we're right there with them and will probably pass them in all-time wins this year, in fact if UF started football with the other sec teams (1890-1894) I'm sure UF would be in that 740-750 range of wins too.


Let's look at total games played (prior to the start of the 2015 season):

Auburn - 1202
Alabama - 1218
Ole Miss - 1181
LSU - 1209
Mississippi State - *
Arkansas - 1209
Texas A&M - 1218

Georgia - 1241
Tennessee - 1231
Vanderbilt - *
Florida - 1131
Kentucky - *
Missouri - 1242
South Carolina - *

* source only listed teams with 600 wins or more

Nothing to brag about because the rest of the conference will likely surpass the Vi11es as well.

I'm not going to work out the math for you but I'd bet my life plus a million that it would take longer than 10 years. Maybe if UT didn't play 5 of those seasons.

Weren't y'all some woman's college in the beginning. Plus you would have averaged about 3-4 games those first seasons so try again.

With UF and Arky both sitting on 698 wins, who makes 700 first?
