I don't have an answer to his question, but I can provide the ten teams with the best winning percentages between 1915-2014.
For a school to qualify the football program had to play at the Div. IA (FBS) level in at least 95 of the last 100 years.
rank | school | WINNING % |
---|---|---|
1 | OHIO STATE | .741 |
2 | ALABAMA | .731 |
3 | NOTRE DAME | .726 |
4 | OKLAHOMA | .721 |
5 | THAT TEAM | .711 |
6 | USC | .704 |
7 | TEXAS | .702 |
8 | TENNESSEE | .701 |
9 | PENN STATE | .698 |
