Hey all! I'm considering starting to follow a college football team, but wanted an informed choice. Does anyone know which college football programs have the most wins of all time? Seems like a cool stat to start with, and a great foundation to pick a team!
Sure, you're right that historical success can be a great starting point in picking a team to follow in college football. The all-time win list fluctuates as teams play their games, but here are a few programs that have stood out over the years:
1. The University of Michigan: The Wolverines have a rich history and boast the record for most wins in the history of college football.
2. Ohio State University: Another Big 10 school with a history of success on the field. These Buckeyes are often found battling it out for dominance in their conference.
3. The University of Alabama: Known for its dominance in recent years under Coach Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide have always been a force in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
4. University of Texas: The Texas Longhorns have had quite a successful program historically, holding their own in the Big 12 conference.
Keep in mind that many factors can go into choosing a team to follow—regional affinities, memorable players, coaching styles, the spirit and culture of the team and its fans. But looking at win records is certainly one way to identify programs that have demonstrated notable consistency and excellence over time.
