The Winningest College Football Programs In Each State

======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ==== ======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ====

We’re two weeks into college football. So, eCollegeFinder had a look at the winningest programs in each state. There are definitely some shockers on here. The “winningest” programs are determined on the amount of total wins in program history.

Pretty illuminating map we got here. Pittsburg State has more wins than Kansas and Kansas State, which actually isn’t that shocking because Kansas State was once the worst college football program in history before Bill Snyder took over and Kansas football has been a joke for the majority of its feeble existence. Penn has more wins than Penn State. Northern Iowa has more wins than the Iowa Hawkeyes. Hot damn.

So who cracked the top 10?

1. Michigan – Michigan Wolverines – 911 wins
2. Connecticut – Yale Bulldogs – 876 wins
3. Texas – Texas Longhorns – 876 wins
4. Indiana – Notre Dame Fighting Irish – 875 wins
5. Nebraska – Nebraska Cornhuskers – 866 wins
6. Ohio – Ohio State Buckeyes – 849 wins
7. Oklahoma – Oklahoma Sooners – 843 wins
8. Alabama – Alabama Crimson Tide – 839 wins
9. Massachusetts – Harvard Crimson – 838 wins
10. Pennsylvania – Penn Quakers – 828 wins

How about by division?

1. Division I FBS – 33 schools
2. Division I FCS – 13 schools
3. Division II – 1 school
4. Division III – 1 school

Conference? (SPOILER ALERT: SEC! SEC! SEC!)

1. Southeastern Conference – 9 schools
2. Ivy League – 6 schools
3. Pacific-12 Conference – 6 schools
4. Big Ten Conference – 5 schools
5. Atlantic Coast Conference – 4 schools
6. Big 12 Conference – 4 schools
7. Colonial Athletic Association – 3 schools
8. Missouri Valley Football Conference – 3 schools
9. Mountain West Conference– 3 schools
10. Big Sky Conference – 2 schools

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.
