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?
