Winning percentages certainly matter but championships matter more. You can have the most wins in golf but if you've never won a major you'll never be considered the best. Same applies to football. Fortunatley, Bama leads in both. Roll Tide.

Bama has the most, but not in the last 3 years they don't.

I made more money than my father-in-law last year because he is virtually retired. But, he has 10 times more money and property accumulated in his life than I do.
Do you have a point about your incessant nattering about the last 3 years? This is a thread about all-time winning percentage excellence and domination, of which Georgia is not in the conversation.
I would seem a complete fool to be braggadocios to my family about how I made more money than my FIL last year because he has accomplished much more financially in his life than I.
You'd probably come off better by starting a thread about the last 3 seasons. Georgia just doesn't have a standing in this thread, no matter how hard you try to make your narrow perception a reality.

Ok....just came on this forum a few days ago. Started some ridiculous thread trying to look all intelligent and everything, but everyone sees right through it...soooo...its official; You're a pathetic alter. Busted...so, would you like to come out and tell us who you are or just resolve within yourself this was a bad idea, fade away and never return?
Pointing out that Alabama has the best winning percentage, all-time, in college football is not trying to seem intelligent. It is merely a fact; an easily verifiable fact.
I'm not sure why a couple of Georgia fans have taken that point so sorely; Georgia is not even a rival of Alabama. It seems like your ire and disgust should be directed at a team and its fan more on your level and a real rival, like auburn or Georgia Tech.

Yes, you seem a complete fool. You are a pathetic alter and this is a dumb thread. Go away, and never return.

It's an informative thread that presents much needed information to fans of lesser teams, like yourself, and makes you a better informed person.
There is nothing wrong with that.

Thanks, Che. Bama has been the shining beacon on the hill for Southern teams that never got exposure or recognition before Alabama started puncturing prejudices and preconceptions about football in the South during those heady days of early Rose Bowl fame.
Alabama has single-handedly given the SEC its edge in overall conference stats over the decades. They have provided much needed acknowledgement to teams others would have never known about if not for playing Alabama, teams in Georgia like auburn and the Bulldogs are a couple of examples.
Several teams have risen from the ashes of irrelevance over the seasons simply by beating Alabama in a single game.
Alabama truly has given not only the SEC, but all of college football, a legacy that will never be surpassed.

The last 3 years are relevant when talking about which team is currently running things in college football.
Historically, nobody can really hold a candle to Bama. They've had the two best coaches of all time as their HC's for long stretches.
But if you look at current trends, Bama has been off the sky high level Saban had them at previously for the last 3 seasons.
From 2009 to 2020 Saban was running at a level unseen in college football. 12 seasons. 6 national titles. Worst finish was 10th.
But from 2021 through 2023, Saban was off that pace. Bama was still very good, but they had no national titles and their last two finishes were worse than all but 3 of the prior 12 seasons.
Meanwhile UGA won 2 titles in Saban's last 3 seasons and finished ahead of Bama in the polls all three years. While it was hard to say as it was happening, the reality is UGA passed Bama in that stretch.
Is Bama ahead of UGA all-time? Of course. Bama is ahead of everyone all-time (even those who have better winning percentage) because of the titles they have.
But UGA is at the top of the college football pyramid right now. And when teams start talking about past accomplishments, it's to be expected that whatever team is at the top now will respond by saying "Congrats. But that was the past and right now you aren't there."
I'll tip my hat to Deboer if he wins a national championship at Bama. But right now there are only 3 active coaches with national championships and only one has one in the last 5 years. And that guy is UGA's coach. National titles are the measuring stick for coaches at the top of college football.
So yes, you can talk about past glories at Alabama. But you should expect UGA fans to make comments about how you're not there anymore. At least not yet.

No one is discussing the last 3 years, Jawja fan. This thread is about the all-time leader in winning percentage since college football began.
Georgia fans remind me of what Appalachian State fans may have said to Michigan fans in 2007, but not really because they aren't stupid.
Hypothetical:
A Michigan fan starts a thread to discuss how Michigan has won more games than any team in college football.
App State fans swarm the thread claiming this isn't true because Michigan lost to App State in 2007 and only the year 2007 matters even though the topic is all-time wins.
No matter how persuasively Michigan fans try to convince App State fans that is not the topic at hand, the App State fans seem mentally unable to comprehend what is being said.

Okay, I'll be more blunt.
Us talking about the "now" of college football is us making fun of Bama fans who now have to talk about "history" in threads...
because they aren't the top dog right now.
Get it?
This is us laughing at you for talking about all time winning percentages because you haven't won a national title or even finished the season with the highest ranking among SEC teams over the last 3 seasons.
You're living in the past.
We're laughing at you.

Texas by far is the weakest of the 10 listed there. Least amount of national championships except Boise State but is still take them if they played today.
1. They still have more than Penn St.
2. Unlike SOME programs, Texas only claims AP/Coaches.

If I were the fan of a team that has only recently enjoyed any type of success worth mentioning, I may also masturbate off-topic in random threads and try to change the topic.
I can't really relate to a Georgia fan because it's impossible to do as an Alabama fan, but I can sort of understand how 36 months can make you seem as silly as several of you seem.
It's all new to you. Contrary to all rationality, Georgia fans probably feel like the high times will never end. It's a nouveau riche lack of social skills that makes others feel nauseated being around Georgia fans.
Practically yesterday, Georgia was a joke to most all college football fans and hadn't sniffed a NC in 40 years. Today, Georgia fans truly believe they will forever be top DAWG.
Montgomery, Alabama, gave you Kirby Smart and Nick Saban taught him the process and how to be successful. Tuscaloosa, Alabama, showed him how football fans are supposed to support a football team.
Show some respect, bow down, and know your place when your betters are talking football. Without the University of Alabama, Georgia football would have never known these last 36 months of unbridled glory.

Can’t believe yall have me siding with the Gumps, but “vacated” means absolutely nothing. The games were played - don’t buy in to the arbitrary NCAA delusion.
