All Time Winning Percentage

[tommyIRISH23]

My math may be wrong, but with UM losing today and providing ND wins tonight, Notre Dame will regain the crown of the winningest college football team by winning percentage.

8-4 UM winning percentage- .735
12-0 ND winning percentage- .736

Someone else check it out to make sure I am right.

Post your math.

My calculations show a 13-0 ND still a half game behind and 8-5 UM.


There's an exsiting thread I started on this topic in 2005.

You show 11 more Wins and 11 more games played by ND through Aug 2012 than UND.com, Stassen, or College Data Warehouse. It appears to me that you may have counted ND's 11-0 2012 record twice.

My spreadsheet with supporting reference data is shown in the original IE All-Time Winningest Percentage Thread

that could be it. I looked at wikipedia and it said it was updated as of aug 2012, so I assumed that the current season stats havent been entered yet
