Factoid 24 - Texas and Notre Dame are tied for third in most victories for a college football program *

The Texas Longhorns and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are tied for third in most victories for a college football program, they have 876 wins each. *

To be on the college most victories list a team needs to have been around for a while and had a successful program, both teams had successful programs with a significant number of games prior to 1900, Notre Dame having started its football program in 1887, while Texas started its in 1893.

A mathematician might suggest that the Longhorns will eventually surpass Notre Dame and continue moving past them, due to Notre Dame’s program having been six years older and they are tied now. Only time will tell.
