By the Numbers 2004-2008
by cgb on
Boom Statistics! That’s how Michael Scott would introduce this post. To be a little more descriptive the table below is a breakdown of every* 1a school’s record over the last 5 (2004-2008)Â seasons. I wasn’t able to find a summary of the data like this anywhere so I created it myself.
My, maybe interesting, observations.
- USC is THE elite program in college football. The numbers speak for themselves.
- Boise State is head and shoulders above the WAC, but their 55-9 (38-2) record looks weak when you see they are only 4-5 against the AP Top 25. The same can be said for WVU’s 50-13 (26-8) and 5-7 and Wisconsin’s 47-17 (26-14) and 5-12 records.
- The Georgia Road Warriors
- Boston College is #12 in wins over the last 5 years, yet both coaches went looking for greener pastures.
- Tulsa, Navy and Hawaii all have won more games than Florida State.
- Texas has the National Championship (USC’s only out of conference loss), but Oklahoma runs the Big 12.
- Kansas has an abysmal 32% away winning percentage.
The full table is after the jump.
- W-L: Wins and Losses
- Wc-Lc: Conference Wins and Losses
- Ww-Lw: Wins and Losses against teams with a winning record
- W25-L25: Wins and Losses against AP Top 25 teams **final AP Poll**
- M(W): Single highest wins
- M(L): Single highest losses
- H%: Home winning percentage
- A%: Away winning percentage

Great Post +1,000
2Winfield Featherston on Jul 13, 2009 at 9:59 am:
Bird beat me to it so…”+1″
3Bird on Jul 13, 2009 at 10:45 am:
Interesting stuff I noticed:
1. Homefield advantage in CFB – 60/40 average home/away winning percentages.
2. UCF has the biggest disparity of Max Loss/Wins at 21. Talk about a turnaround for George O.
3. Duke is pathetic.
4cgb on Jul 13, 2009 at 11:10 am:
Thanks guys and great point Bird about UCF. I remember reading somewhere that he’s on the hot-seat this year. Unbelievable.
5james on Jul 14, 2009 at 7:36 am:
Only the last 5 years of info. Come on dude get a life!
6cleet on Jul 14, 2009 at 2:00 pm:
Great stuff cgb, enjoyed looking at the numbers. Very sobering as an alum of the U, but I knew our numbers would not be pretty.
7Jon on Jul 14, 2009 at 3:02 pm:
The is the most ridiculously idiotic compilation in a while. So Florida who has 40% of the National Titles during this 5 year period doesn’t merit a Top 5 ranking much less the best of the SEC. You are a retard. Oh and I’m a Hog fan, not a Gator fan.
8cgb on Jul 14, 2009 at 3:16 pm:
Jon they are in descending order by winning % (wins / (wins + losses)). Would you like me to make up some wins for Florida so they are closer to the top?
9anbosu on Jul 14, 2009 at 4:39 pm:
it can’t be by total winning percentage or OSU would be above Florida, LSU, Oklahoma & Virginia Tech.
10arkbadger on Jul 14, 2009 at 4:49 pm:
something seems a little off, good write-up though. i know arkansas hasn’t been great the past 5 eyars, but i can think of at least 4 wins off the top of my head (auburn & tenn. in 2006 and lsu the past 2 years). still wouldn’t help our record much though. nice job cgb.
11vtbaz on Jul 14, 2009 at 5:08 pm:
Well O’Leary did have a player die on his watch @ UCF and they’re none too pleased about his handling of that…
12cgb on Jul 14, 2009 at 9:58 pm:
You are right I assumed every team played an equal amount of games. The teams with the most wins are at the top. Either way Jon we weren’t ranking the teams, but merely reporting the numbers.
@arkbadger – I think all the numbers are correct.
2008: 5-7
2007: 8-5
2006: 10-4
2005: 4-7
2004: 5-6
Total: 32-29 (spot on)
13anbosu on Jul 15, 2009 at 9:57 am:
Great work either way, this is a really interesting breakdown.
14MizzouFan on Jul 15, 2009 at 1:54 pm:
Always has to be folks who come in and try to make it something it’s not. Common sense shows it’s in order of wins, stop trying to read into the numbers folks. Great compilation of data!
