A Few Played Quality Opponents
Interesting site if even close to being right.

I know that you need no further convincing of SEC Pinwheelthe superiority of SEC football but you might need to enlighten some non-believers (if they exist):
For today, I thought I'd show the 13 members of the 700-win club and what their numbers look like against the Top 30 programs on the All-Time Wins List.
* I also added 4 teams this time around. There are four teams that have played fewer than 1000 games, but have a winning % of .620 or greater. That would be top 20 all-time on the winning % list, but they haven't played enough games to be in the Top 30 All-Time Wins list. They are: Miami, Florida St, S. Florida, and Boise St. So I included them in these numbers.
MOST GAMES VS TOP 30 PROGRAMS
1. 598 - Georgia
2. 597 - Auburn
3. 528 - Alabama
4. 445 - LSU
5. 437 - Texas
6. 417 - Tennessee
7. 392 - Notre Dame
8. 382 - Penn State
9. 381 - Oklahoma
10. 366 - Nebraska
11. 361 - USC
12. 326 - Michigan
13. 304 - Ohio State
MOST WINS VS TOP 30 PROGRAMS
1. 305 - Auburn
2. 304 - Alabama
2. 304 - Georgia
4. 266 - Texas
5. 243 - Notre Dame
6. 223 - Penn State
7. 213 - Tennessee
8. 211 - USC
9. 207 - LSU
10. 206 - Oklahoma
11. 204 - Michigan
12. 180 - Nebraska
13. 173 - Ohio State
This is a good one.
This is a list of the % of a programs total games played against Top 30 programs.
For example, Oklahoma has played 1169 games, 381 of which were against Top 30 programs. That's 32.6%.
1. 51.6% - Auburn
2. 50.3% - Georgia
3. 45.4% - Alabama
4. 38.5% - LSU
5. 36.0 % - Texas
6. 35.2% - Tennessee
7. 33.2% - Notre Dame
8. 32.6% - Oklahoma
9. 31.8% - USC
10. 31.3% - Penn State
11. 29.7% - Nebraska
12. 26.5% - Michigan
13. 25.5% - Ohio State
This list is even better. It's a list of the % of a programs' wins that have come against Top 30 programs.
For example, Oklahoma has 809 wins, 206 have come against Top 30 programs. That's 25.5%.
1. 43.0% - Auburn
2. 41.2% - Georgia
3. 37.9% - Alabama
4. 31.3% - Texas
5. 28.8% - Notre Dame
6. 28.7% - LSU
7. 27.4% - USC
8. 27.2% - Penn State
9. 27.0% - Tennessee
10. 25.5% Oklahoma
11. 23.1% - Michigan
12. 21.3% - Nebraska
13. 20.8% - Ohio State

So we really have 10 national championships?

10...thousand...

Don't they know that we have 13..THOUSAND national championships?

I have arbitrarily decided that we have nine. That's the number I have chosen and the one I am going to begin quoting on a regular basis.
Say it enough and it becomes true. Ole Miss started saying "three national championships" about seven years ago. Before that, they used the actual number: FUCKING ZERO. They've never had one, but have quietly raised three flags in Oxford.
Of course all the fucking media bullshit this year about "53 years since their only.." is going to make my quest harder.
