Wins this Millennium

[AmsterBison]

This millennium's best records (according to my data):

1. Montana 142-36
2. Appalachian State 127-44
3. Georgia Southern 112-53
4. Northern Iowa 111-50

Pretty amazing that Montana is averaging one more win a year than the second best program.

Especially how this season turned out for them.

It is also quite amazing that GSU is on that list despite a 3-8 season in Brian Van Gorder's 2006 campaign.

NDSU by my count is 81-29. not bad for 4 fewer seasons and an additional 4 with no playoffs. still a long ways off montana.

All of your numbers are wrong. The year 2000 was not in this millenium, it was the last year of the last millenium because there was no year 0.

Montana 129-34
AppState 117-40
Northern Iowa 104-46
Georgia Southern 99-51

Not gonna bother checking everyone else to see if that helps boost them over Georgia Southern's 99 wins, but there ya go.

Meh. Since there wasn't any football in the year 1 (AD or BC), I'll maintain that as far as football is concerned 2000 is the start of the new millennium rather than 2001. I mean, it seems artificial to divide a football time period like that since when we talk about who has the most wins in a decade, it goes from 1980 to 1989, 1990 to 1999, 2000 to 2009, etc.

If it makes it better, we could just agree that 1 BC be considered the same as 0 AD because we're talking about a completely arbitrary system anyway. However, if the mods want to change the thread title to "Most Wins Since 2000 (inclusive)" that would probably satisfy everybody.

Anyway, Georgia Southern would drop out of the top 4 and Dayton would move up at 101-31 (North Dakota has 101 wins too but 45 losses and, of course, very few of those wins came against DI opponents.)

Willenium is a much shorter time period. Maybe 8 months.

works out to about a 8.4-4.8 season on average

The '05 (4-6) '11 (2-9) killed our numbers

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Using 2000 as the starting point I have Lehigh down for 107-48 which is a .704 winning percentage.

- Five 10 win seasons, 12-1 in 2000 best record
- 3 losing seasons, 4-7 in '09 worst record

[AmsterBison]

Uusing 2000 as the starting point I have Lehigh down for 107-48 which is a .740 winning percentage.

- Five 10 win seasons, 12-1 in 2000 best record
- 3 losing seasons, 4-7 in '09 worst record

Good, that's what I have - except the .740 which probably should be .704

I tend to agree. That's why I only showed the top 4 in the original post in order to exclude NDSU. S'pose I could have filtered the win-loss records so they'd reflect only results against DI competition.

[Grizo406]

This thread has done wonders for my old, cranky and still very tight *** some good!

Nice to see the Griz being talked about in a positive light!xnodx

Thanks, Amster!xthumbsupxxthumbsupx

[Go...gate]

A time of solid success for Colgate, in contrast to the dreadful 1988 - 1995 period where wins were hard to come by.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard has won at least 7 games each year since 2001. No other Ivy school can match that.

If you want to be even more picky, teams should be sorted by Win PCT and not win total.

What this shows is that the NCAA has done their homework when it comes to approving C. Arkansas & NDSU to move up from D2 to FCS in the past decade. Both are defending Conference Champs, respectively and NDSU has made their mark on the FCS by reaching the playoffs in the 3 of the 5 years eligible & hoisting the FCS Championship Trophy twice already.
