Texas is the true All Time Wins leader?

Featured Replies

With all the talk of Texas having never scheduled a game against an FCS school, I got curious about where Texas would rank in the All-time Wins totals if teams weren't able to juice their stats with free wins against teams that are clearly sacrificial lambs...

Best I could find in a short search was this article from 2020-2021... https://lwosports.com/college-football-all-time-wins-leaders/

This would show that Texas was #1 as of 2020, with OU just 4 games behind. OU has not passed us in the interim, but I think they made up 2 games (they played an FCS school in 2021).

This article does however show Texas with 110 fewer wins when FCS teams are removed (813) than the official wins list often cited (923, as of 2020). So I don't know where the 110 wins go if we've never played an FCS team; maybe that stat needs to be checked out again. 

Either way, I've got to say, with all the chest pounding that goes on in college ball amongst fans. With all the dubious championships that get claimed by various teams.. I don't see why we cannot claim to be the actual winningest team in college football history. I'm fine with it. Make other people try to explain why a bunch of wins against a boys choir should count. 

 

Hook'em! Texas is the King of the actual mountain!
