The victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday marked the 800th win in the 117-year history of the Alabama football program. Alabama is once again among the seven schools to cross the 800-win threshold.
Alabama reached the 800-win mark in 2006 but the outcome of that contest and 23 others between 2005 and 2007 were vacated due to a ruling by the NCAA that is currently under appeal. (Incorrect, see this post) The Crimson Tide all-time record now stands at 800-316-43, a .709 winning percentage which is the sixth best in FBS history.
The list of the six schools ahead of Alabama on the all-time win list is after the jump:
School |
Wins |
| Michigan | 873 |
| Texas | 833 |
| Notre Dame | 832 |
| Nebraska | 818 |
| Ohio State | 808 |
| Penn State | 801 |
