NDSU on the List of Winningest College Football Programs

[BigHorns]

So NDSU is nearing the top 20 in this list now (wiki hasn't been updated yet - NDSU's win total is from the end of the 2019 season, for example.)

Back in 2010 when NDSU was #56 with 611 wins, UNI was #57 with 610, and UND was #60 with 606.
Today: NDSU has 762 wins (+151) , UNI has 689 (+78) and UND comes in with 668 (+62)

I might try to get Wikipedia updated this winter.

Was a little surprised by some of the schools shown ahead of us on this list like Lehigh and Delaware.
But I guess we would be much higher now if they kept the list updated.

Also surprised they have not updated the stats there in over 10 years.

wikipedia maybe isn't quite current, but is better
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._teams_by_wins

It says the records there were updated thru 2020, so would only be missing this season's results.

149-12 is what I have too.

I might have to figure out how to do one of those "graphs over time" for winningest college football teams - ah, they're called "bar chart races."

this would be fantastic....it's fun to view those for population by country, city, etc. or "gold held by country"

Thankfully, somebody updated wikipedia: NDSU is up to #21.

List of NCAA football teams by wins - Wikipedia

Going from #56 in 2010 to #21 in 2022 was an epic rise... cracking the top 20 and staying there will be just as monumental though. Even if NDSU keeps up this phenomenal run, the teams in front are not going to be easy to catch. Cripes, Princeton got their 762nd win in early 2006 when NDSU was on win #579, 183 W's back.

I'm totally confused here. Why is LSU at 817 ranked ahead of Mount Union, who has 823?
