Actually not too hard to find:

This is from the NCAA official site. Page 210 of the football records book.

Michigan has 849 victories in their history. Don't know about Notre Dame, but they are not listed as the leader.

Well, as of the start of the 2006 season, Michigan was the leader. Given they have one more win this year than ND, I would say they are the leader.

Pay attention to the fact that the question was asked in 1998...


Through past research I have that the Univ. of Michigan is the all-time winningest team in NCAA college football history period please, please respond your site only went back 100 years.
Thank You

Response from the editor:

"All Time Winningest" means "has the most wins." Michigan does have more wins than any other I-A college football team. The team with the most wins may not be the one with the highest winning percentage, though.

At the time of this writing, Michigan has 23 more wins than Notre Dame... but since the Wolverines have played 44 more games (and have six less ties), they also have 27 more losses than Notre Dame. The result is that Michigan's all-time winning percentage is currently (1998) about 1.25% lower than Notre Dame's.

Incidentally, this site has all-time data. If you go to the "compute request" form and just leave the default values in, you will get all-time winning percentage. The very first college football games were played in 1869.
