nebraskafaninwi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Twenty years is in essence a generation. 1. boise state 169 40 0 .786 2. ohio state 188 51 1 .785 3. florida 200 57 1 .777 4. nebraska 194 64 0 .752 5. virginia tech 192 64 0 .750 6. florida state 181 62 1 .744 7. texas 185 66 2 .735 8. oklahoma 181 73 1 .712 9. oregon 176 72 0 .710 10. lsu 175 74 1 .702 11. georgia 175 75 1 .699 12. miami (f) 171 74 0 .698 13. usc 164 71 2 .696 14. Wisconsin 175 76 4 .694 15. Penn State 171 76 0 .692 16. Michigan 172 77 0 .691 17. Tennessee 171 79 0 .684 18. Kansas State 169 79 1 .681 19. Auburn 167 79 1 .678 20. TCU/Utah (tie) 163 79 0 .674 That's pretty good company. And what this shows is that for the past generation Nebraska has been one of the most consistent winning programs in I-A football, essentially equal to Michigan and Penn State. Not too shabby. There are five B1G teams on that list. UNL, of course, did most of its winning in the Big 8 and Big XII Conferences. For Penn State I added back the 112 wins that the NCAA took away from 1998-2011 because they actually did win all those games. As for the other conferences: SEC had 5, B12 4 (including TCU), ACC 3, PAC 3. Boise State is the only MWC member, and has been in I-A since 1996, so three years fewer than the other schools. Not making this list are Alabama (26) and Notre Dame (25). Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 round of applause for the 1990's everyone And 2000, 2001, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, which all produced ten wins, and 2006, 2008, and 2011 which produced 9 each. 2002, 2004,5, and 7, you did not hold up your end of the bargain.

LumberJackSker Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 damn nebraska has won a lot of game since i've been alive to bad i was like 7 last time they won a national champion, but in all seriousness Nebraska is one of the more successful and consistent programs in the last 20 years and i'm proud of that, hopefully we will see another national title within the next few years GBR Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Impressive statistic. Would be interested in seeing OSU numbers if they had played in Conference Championship games. Quote Link to comment
