Alabama was docked 28 victories by the ncaa (honestly for nothing, Alabama did not pay Means, and sharing textbooks)
So the numbers for Alabama by % and by wins is much higher

As we probably would have guessed, of the current (2023) Top 10, it looks like both Michigan and Notre Dame have by far the most percentage of program wins prior to 1950.
% of All-Time Wins Prior to 1950
42% Michigan
42% Notre Dame
38% Texas
37% Tennessee
36% Nebraska

It makes me happy that you are the unofficial spokesperson for Georgia OTR.

Wins on field via CHEATING doesn't count, Bama. Y'all CHEATED so much that it was seriously considered changing your mascot to a CHEETAH.

I can't look at these lists and not think about how a win vs what was basically some intramural team in 1909 is equal to that of beating a team that has their entire staring lineup go to the NFL.

Ok child, how does sharing textbooks equate to cheating?
I will hang up and listen

What happened to Yale and Princeton? I would assume they have a great winning percentage if they won the most national championships in history. Yale claims 27 and Princeton claims 28. I would assume they would be up there pretty high? You have to win a lot of games to win that many championships.

I would generally consider "winningest" to comprise of winning percentage, otherwise the entire list is skewed by age of program.
This exactly. Michigan has been playing football the longest, therefore they will have more wins, making them look better than they really are. No doubt, they have been very good, but not that much better than everybody else.

Not necessarily. When they (Yale) were winning championships they were playing 3-4 game seasons. What would skew their winning % would be playing Ivy League schools in the modern age.
Just as an example, they didn't even have a coach for their first 13 claimed National Championships, and often would play local club teams. From 1872 until 1881 they never played more than 5 games and one of those years played 1 game all season and a couple of others only played 3. That's the problem with trying to compile lists like these. What is the criteria and cutoff and what to do about legit titles and claimed titles, etc.
ETA
It gets more interesting with Princeton. With their first 6 claimed titles they never played more than 2 games, played 3 for their 7th, and never played more than 5 games for their first 10 titles.

Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State and Oklahoma all with over 600 wins since 1950. The big 4.
There is no doubt that there is a lot of success on the field for those 4 teams.

What is even better is that out of the top 13 teams in Div-1 based on wins, 5 of them are original SEC teams.
Alabama
Georgia
Tennessee
LSU

Alabama should simply return to claiming those wins and dare the NCAA to do a single thing about it.
It would be typical Alabama if they did!

Your question is perfect evidence of the fact you never went to school.
While taking an exam, do you think it is right and ethical for one to share a textbook containing the answers with another student taking the same exam? You don't think this is cheating?
Doing this on the college level usually results in expulsion from the school if caught.

Really? Honestly that was a very idiotic statement you made there.

It is a textbook for the course and in there are answers to questions and how to do the problems. You do not use your textbook during the exam. Do you not study the textbook (and the notes) for the tests in a course?
So no, studying a common textbook is not cheating, it is actually what you are suppose to do to pass the course.

I am not sure you understand what you posted. Yes, cheating would get anybody expelled, but it is not cheating to study a textbook.

I get everything you are saying but if that was the criteria at that time any they won within those guidelines it should count and be legit.
