I was wondering why Boise isn't on that list. Until I noticed the (5).

It is kind of crazy how high we still are on this list. Shows me three things:

 

1) how dominant we were 1985 to 2001

That was only part of the stat. Pelini's 9-10 win seasons really helped.

 

2) our "down cycle" from 2002 to present really isn't that bad from a wins standpoint. Obviously, not many meaningful wins in there. Is there even one? I'm not so sure.

Off the top of my head. MU, OU & Arizona 2009 - OsU & MU 2010 - MSU & PSU 2011 - UM 2012 - Georgia 2013 - MSU 2015

 

3) how meaningless this stat is in terms of where programs currently sit in college football landscape.

Why? The top 5 all have multiple NC Titles in this time frame. FSU, tOSU, OU will all have played in the new playoff system , by year 2. FSU & tOSU have the last 2 titles & OU has a chance to make it 3 in a row. The truth is NU & Miami are holding on from the earlier part of the stat.

Is that to date? So we were in first before this season?

BYU somehow made its way into it.

BSU has been in the FCS/D1A for 20 years. 197 wins there. 267 in the past 30 counting 10 years in D1AA.

And Penn St and Miami weren't in major conferences all of those years.

If you used the current recruits lifetime...which is what matters.

 

NU isn't in the top 10

 

Edit: actually I'm not quite sure. That would be a 1998 starting point?

Maybe FBS/Div. I should have been used instead of P5?
