Question
I read your list of the top 5 winning teams in Div1A college football history and found it interesting. However, I found it a little irrelevant since Michigan and Notre Dame started playing football before other programs.
My question: What are the top 5 winning Div 1A teams in the post WWII era starting in 1946 to present?
And what are the top 5 winning teams in Div 1A football in the modern era of 2 platoon football starting in 1960?
I think many college football fans would find these 2 questions more interesting and relevant. I know I would.

Thank you for your time,
Matt

Answer
Matt, hello!

I have attached the following websites:

 ncaafootball.com

College Football Conference Champions


Welcome to I-AA.org, the worldwide leader in I-AA official news!

College Football Data Warehouse

 D1AFootball.com

Welcome to I-ANCAA - Records Books A.org, the worldwide leader in I-AA official news!

HickokSports.com - History - Index to Football


These will get you started for the research for your specific answers.  If you're looking for the top records, other than Michigan and Notre Dame, it will be Miami, Florida State, Nebraska, Southern California and Oklahoma. Penn State, Florida and Georgia are not far behind.  The websites will show you the history of all of these teams and you can tailor make your five teams since the WW II era.

Take care,
