Best NCAA Football Program ever.

Well we may have suffered a disappointing season, but I guess I have this to bring me some semblance of peace.  The University of Michigan holds the following records.
  1. The most total wins in college football history - 849

  2. The highest all-time winning percentage (.74421)

  3. Leading the NCAA in home attendance every year but one since 1974.

  4. The longest current streak of having over 100,000 at a home game - 186 consecutive games.

  5. The longest current bowl game streak - 31.

  6. The longest current streak of non-losing seasons - 38

  7. The current longest number of games in Div 1-A since last being shutout - 273 games through 2005 Alamo Bowl.

  8. The most televised school in college football history (356 televised games).

  9. The largest NCAA crowd to ever watch a football game: 112,118 on November 22, 2003, at Michigan Stadium.

  10. The largest delta (points for minus points against) in college football history.

  11. 42 conference football championships (most of any team in any conference)

  12. 25 undefeated seasons (more than any other Division 1-A school).

  13. Highest all-time strength of schedule (SOS) rating in college football -- per cfbdatawarehouse.com.

  14. 74 years since playing a (non WWII era) non Division-1A opponent, longest of any program in the country.

  15. 109 winning seasons -- most in college football history.

  16. 11 National Championships: (1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1932, 1933, 1947, 1948, 1997)

  17. One of only two schools with a winning record vs. every Division 1-A conference, including independents.

  18. "The Victors" is the only fight song inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

  19. The number one sports rivalry: Michigan vs. Ohio State, according to ESPN's "Top 10 Greatest Sports Rivalries"

  20. The best helmet in football, according to ESPN's "End of Century" Special

  21. The best uniform in sports, according to ESPN2's 64 Team Bracket Results[2]

The above was stolen from our good friends at Wikipedia.
By the way in case you didn’t notice:  UM won the national championship 4 times in a row, 1901-1904.  Hmm that’s better than the 2.5 times USC is trying for today.
Yeah I know it was over 100 years ago, but folks say it never has been done before, when it obviously has.
