Are you counting Bama's vacated wins from their NCAA years?
Yep, they counted the 21 wins vacated for bookgate & the 8 wins/1 tie forfeited for Langham napkin signing.

Bama has 21 wins vacated; 8 wins forfeited; 1 tie forfeited.
Notre Dame has 21 wins vacated.
Ohio St. has 12 wins vacated.
USC has 13 wins vacated
North Carolina had 16 wins vacated
Florida State had 12 wins vacated
Cal had 4 wins vacated
Mich State forfeited 5 wins

Oklahoma had major violations with players being paid in 2005, were told all their wins had to be vacated, but the NCAA caved and gave them their wins back.

Penn State had to vacate a lot of wins, but he NCAA caved and gave them back.

18. Auburn 759
22. A&M 732
28. Florida 714 (3 behind Pittsburgh)
29. Arkansas 713

Unfortunately, once we pass Pitt, it will take a long time to break into the top 25. Would need 12 wins more than Washington, who Peterson has rolling. 15 more than GaTech, 16 more than Clemson. We're 39 away from #20 WVU. Gonna be a very long process, even if Merlin gets us rolling.

Pretty much all the top teams have had a bunch of vacated wins. I know OU had a bunch.

It's like people talking about our national titles. Lol. Tell Notre dame their only national titles are 66,73,77 and 88. They'll tell u to gtfo.
Tell michigan they only have one and that wasn't until 1997.
We count our rose bowls because that was the decider back in the day and EVERY SINGLE ONE of these teams were counting those championships way, way, waaaay before Bama.
Same with vacated wins. If the rest of the country doesn't remove them from their record books, neither will we.

Good, maybe they can get a taste of what Declan Sullivan's parents felt.

I'm confident they might be close to passing Texas in a couple of seasons or so as well.

Everyone above Bama has played more games than Bama. Michigan has played more than anyone, I think.

I find it fairly impressive that we have played that many games and have won 921 of them on the field. That's a winning percentage of almost 74%. Not half bad.

How is auburn not on that list?
Because the OP arbitrarily cut it off right before AU, who would be the next team on the list with 759 victories.

Youd think a Bama fan wouldn't be so insecure.

The reason why I don't recognize the NCAA's power to vacate and forfeit wins is because they lack any kind of consistency. Take a look at Penn State. They vacated what must have been 100 of Joe Paterno's wins in the aftermath of the Sandusky scandal. Within a year or two they gave those wins back to Penn State. So they went from those wins happening, to them never happening, before finally having them happen again.

As far as I'm concerned, Alabama has 921 victories. We won them on the field, fair and square, and it's not like we were caught doing anything to get a competitive advantage. Langham signed with an agent and then reneged without telling anyone. Just over a decade later, some players decided to give their friends used textbooks they had bought off scholarship. Apparently no one realized this was a NCAA violation until Saban got there.

While you’re at it tell their football team to join a conference like the rest of the big boys!
