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).

round of applause for the 1990's everyone :worship

round of applause for the 1990's everyone :worship

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.

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

Impressive statistic.

Would be interested in seeing OSU numbers if they had played in Conference Championship games.

 

[HuskerShark]

Boise State - 209 total games

Nebraska - 258 total games

Why such a huge discrepancy?...
