Okay, the NCAA 2006 Records Book is out and you guys have a real shot to make LSU history. I'll post the other "decade numbers" separately, but for the decade at hand (2000's), here's the rankings through seven years. (please note the the records book calculates a decade starting with the 00 year and ending with the 09 year... I have no idea why it's set up like that, but it is) Boise State...76-13...85.4% Oklahoma......79-14...84.9 Texas...........75-14...84.2 Miami...........71-16...81.6 Ohio State....70-18...79.5 SoCal...........70-19...78.6 LSU.............70-20...77.8 Louisville.......68-20...77.2 Georgia.........69-21...76.7 Virginia Tech..68-21...76.4 others in the hunt.... TCU..............64.21...75.3 Auburn..........66-23...74.1 Michigan........64-23...73.6 Florida...........65-24...73.0 Toledo...........60-26...69.8 Florida State...62-28...68.9 Finishing in the top ten in wins for a decade... there's something you've never done (at least back five decades, which is all the records book shows)
THat's pretty interesting. Numbers 2-7 all won National Titles. LSU representin the SEC with 70 and many more to come!
Here's the records by decade: the 90's.... Florida State 109-13-1 Nebraska 108-16-1 Marshall 114-25-0 Florida 102-22-1 Tennessee 99-22-1 Penn State 97-26=0 Michigan 93-26-3 Miami 92-27-0 Texas A&M 94-28-1 Ohio State 91-29-3 the 80's: Nebraska 103-20-0 Miami 98-20-0 BYU 102-26-0 Oklahoma 91-25-2 Clemson 86-25-2 Penn State 89-27-2 Georgia 88-27-4 Florida State 87-28-3 Michigan 89-29-2 Auburn 86-31-1 The 70's: Oklahoma 102-13-3 Alabama 102-16-1 Michigan 96-16-3 Nebraska 98-20-4 Penn State 96-22-0 Ohio State 91-20-3 Notre Dame 91-22-0 USC 93-21-5 Texas 88-26-1 Arizona State 90-28-0 The 60's: Alabama 85-12-3 Texas 80-18-2 Arkansas 80-19-1 Ole Miss 72-20-6 USC 73-23-4 Bowling Green 71-22-2 Ohio State 67-21-2 Missouri 72-22-6 Penn State 73-26 Memphis 70-25-1 Interesting... for the Penn State poster on board, the Nittany Lions are the only team to make the list all four decades... although the 2000's ain't looking so hot.....
No surprise we did not make the list for the 90s. That decade was the dark ages for the LSU football program.
Really shows the "prestige" of the Notre Dame program. Barely broke the top ten 3 decades ago. Woot? :thumb:
I was waiting on this one! ND actually had more success since the 70's. It just so happened to occure from 1987-1993. The problem is that they struggled in the early 80's and the late 90's. Had that period started in the earlier part of either decade they would have easily made the list.
