on the all time wins list for second place? They just recently passed Neb and the current difference has been the Texas wins over NU since the start of the Big XII. ND is only 7 wins ahead of Texas right now and with a good season and a very, very poor season Texas could be alone in second place.

I think it will happen early next season.

Next season seems reasonable...Texas is due for a couple losses with how unimpressive they've looked this year but still should have 8-10 wins. Let's say they win 19 or 20 games this year and next...to think the Irish would win 12 or 13 to keep their lead is a lot to ask when they might only win 3 or 4 games this year.

You sure about that? http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/mi ... a_wins.php

According to that site, Texas was 11 wins behind ND entering this season. That alone makes it virtually impossible for Texas to catch ND this season. Btw, Nebraska also should be one win ahead of Texas, if that site is correct.

Maybe, maybe not. But I think ND will be the most improved team in the country next season.

Yeah going from 2 to 9 wins would probably garner them that title.

My radio source shows ND with 821, Texas with 814, and NU with 805. This seems to check out pretty closely with your source given that they are the same for ND, one off for Texas. Nebraska is the issues with a delta of 7.

I think Texas gains 5 more wins on ND this season and passes them next season as they too will be much improved next year.
