S͏ince 2021,͏ Georgia has domin͏at͏ed college fo͏ot͏b͏a͏ll ͏with an impr͏essive ͏91.4% wi͏n percentage. Mich͏igan͏ follows͏ at 85.7͏%, jus͏t ͏ahead of ͏Ohio St͏ate at 85͏.5%. Oreg͏o͏n and͏ Alabama shar͏e the fourth sp͏ot ͏with 81͏.8%, while James͏ Mad͏ison (7͏5.7%), Ole Miss (75.0%), Penn Stat͏e (74͏.6%͏), Clemson (74.1%)͏ and UT͏SA (72.2%) ro͏und out the top 10.

Fans had a lot to say about the rankings, with some celebrating their team’s position and others questioning omissions. Oregon’s place in the top five sparked a passionate response.

“Oregon is a blue blood,” a fan wrote.

“Oregon wins, man. Blue blood,” one fan commented.

Michigan fans didn’t stay silent, pushing back.

“Even with an 8-5 season we are better than Ohio,” one said.

Notre Dame’s absence from the list also raised eyebrows.

“Where’s ND? Aren’t they 44-11 during this span?” another fan chimed in.

“Hasn’t ND won like 80% of their games since ‘21?” one wrote.

Meanwhile, UTSA fans were thrilled to see their school included.

“UTSA MENTIONED BIRDS UP!!!!” another fan commented.

While overall win percentages tell one story, home-field performance presents another. Over the past three years, Georgia and Washington have been perfect at home, both going unbeaten.

Alabama, Tennessee and Oregon have near-perfect home records, dropping only one game each. Oregon, in particular, has impressed, going 19-1 at Autzen Stadium, with its only loss coming in a close game against Washington.

Oregon’s consistency puts it among the best, but traditional powerhouses like Alabama and Ohio State still hold strong reputations.
