Most Wins in College Football: Past 10 Years

Boss Bailey. Part of the recruiting class that turned around UGA football.

I decided to research what teams had the most overall wins during the past 10 years (1999-2008). Let's start with the SEC....

Georgia 98
Florida 96
LSU 93
Auburn 85
Tennessee 85
Alabama 75
Arkansas 71
Ole Miss 62
South Carolina 61
Kentucky 49
Miss State 47
Vanderbilt 37

I also looked beyond the SEC at some other noteworthy BCS programs.

Oklahoma 109
Texas 106
Southern Cal 100
Virginia tech 100
Ohio State 97
Florida State 90
Michigan 86
Oregon 86
Georgia Tech 78
Penn State 76
Notre Dame 69

The second most wins during that period overall belong to Boise State with 108; however, that's hardly an apples to apples comparison.

My overall reaction to those numbers of the past 10 years...We're keeping some pretty elite company. We just don't have a national title...yet. But we're consistently knocking around that 10 win mark. If you do that long enough, you're going to win it all eventually. See Brown, Mack.

Not that you asked, but you have to extend the tracking back to 13 years before UGA loses it's lead in the SEC in overall wins.

Anyone on that list have a number of wins that surprises you?
