The Wins List has now been updated for all teams through the end of the 2015 season – you can check it out here. All 1,178 programs to record at least 1 game played by the Dr. Roger Saylor Football Records are included in the list. Before you look at the list, though, be sure to quiz yourself on naming all 113 programs with 500+ wins. Note that one of those programs is now defunct.
After you take the quiz, check out some observations of the list (SPOILER WARNING IF YOU’RE PLANNING ON TAKING THE QUIZ). Have anything to add or find anything cool/interesting/strange in the list? Let us know in the comments. And, as always, please let us know if there are any errors or corrections.
