Florida only has 10 wins between 2020 and 2023?
Posted on 2/2/23 at 7:21 pm to JetDawg
I would generally consider "winningest" to comprise of winning percentage, otherwise the entire list is skewed by age of program.
Posted on 2/2/23 at 7:22 pm to E.Hubble
I mean, no. If it's 2020 inclusive it's 20, otherwise it's 12.

That's may be a more valid metric for success, but winningest just means raw # of wins

I get that, but didn't the ivy league schools dominate the really early years?

The completely arbitrary and disproportionate win-vacation punishment that has been handed to Bama over the years will always chap my arse. I don’t think a single one of those games was the result of what has always been considered the most egregious form of cheating: program-managed pay for play. Really- you’re going to take away wins when the school proactively reported that a handful of kids cheated the system with the textbooks deal, all while creating no competitive advantage for the school? frick you NCAA.

Alabama should simply return to claiming those wins and dare the NCAA to do a single thing about it.

Congratulations on all of the cheating.
