Bowfin Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I had an uncle on that 1957 team... ...I think they lost to Hawaii that year. The coach refused to throw a pass for some reason until the game was almost out of reach. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I looked around a little bit, and the lists of "all time wins" are like snowflakes: No two are ever exactly alike. One even had Nebraska already ahead of Texas. That being said, I think Nebraska gains ground on Notre Dame and Texas. I'd start with any list that has Nebraska with 887 (current) wins. If that isn't our number, or 880 (minus this year's wins) then it's inaccurate. I suppose I could troll through some other teams' sites and see what they show for year-to-year results. Not doing that for 100+ teams, though. And probably won't do it for a while. But it's worth looking into. It'd be fun offseason fodder. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I don't think anyone hates Texas more than Vector. Little unbecoming. Quote Link to comment

Do our victories over Omaha YMCA and Lincoln High count? I haven't checked but I think aTm is at 980 already (counting spring games and other mythical wins in there 14 national championships) Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 If Stassen is correct, it's currently: 1. Michigan - 932 2. Notre Dame - 894 3. Texas - 889 4. Nebraska - 887 5. Ohio State - 881 Well, here is Texas's remaining schedule: Baylor L TT W W Virginia L KU W TCU W I'm seeing them at 3-2 with that schedule. Of course, as we see many times in college football the wheels can always fall completely off and start losing to even really bad teams. I will be a big J Hawk fan that weekend. I would love it if they would lose every single one but I doubt if they do. Notre Dame's remaining schedule: Miami W Navy L Army L VT L USC L Now, let's say we split the next two and win the rest. That's 4-1. So, end of regular season: ND 895 Texas 892 Nebraska 891 I think we will have to wait till next year to pass either of them. BUT...next year we could make a big move in the rankings. We'll also have a bowl game. If it rolls right, maybe we tie Texas based on your analysis. I could also see texas loosing to either TT or TCU. Then we could move ahead of them. I purposely just did regular season. I agree with TT and TCU. As I said in my comment, once a team starts having a really bad year, the wheels can fall completely off. Quote Link to comment

I haven't checked but I think aTm is at 980 already (counting spring games and other mythical wins in there 14 national championships) That's the kind of thing being discussed at the Stassen link I originally shared. He says something about his winning percentage calculator not considering games played against lower competition (and that such games have been color coded elsewhere on his site).

broganreynik Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The Nebraska media guide for this week has: Michigan-932 Notre Dame-894 Texas-889 Nebraska-887 2 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The Nebraska media guide for this week has: Michigan-932 Notre Dame-894 - 21=873 Texas-889 + 2 = 891 Nebraska-887 + 3=890 If be beat Iowa and win our bowl game, we end the year second in all-time wins (provided Texas loses this weekend, which they probably will) 1 Quote Link to comment
Caven Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Considering Notre Dame just lost 21 wins from their 2012 and 2013 seasons that should get you to number 2. eta: and Glory beat me to it apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Those "vacated wins" will be reinstated at some point. If they're on the board now, just keep them there and don't pretend they're gone. Remember, they vacated Paterno's wins after the scandal, then reinstated them a while later. It's all a dog-and-pony show. Those wins will come back. 1 Quote Link to comment
