OK - Bowl season is starting. I think it will be easier if we wait until after all the games are played before we update this page. OK? JefeDeJefes 13:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


Hold on - I'm about to enter the table. I was just using the other table as a model. I am new to this. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by JefeDeJefes (talk • contribs) 13:59, August 28, 2006

Ok, now I am starting. I will get it all done within a couple days. JefeDeJefes 19:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I marked it under construction so it won't get deleted for being incomplete. - CobaltBlueTony 19:26, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to count ties in winning percentage?

I question the calculation of winning percentages on this page. Ties are counting as losses. Plotinus75 00:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Oregon State should be #4 on bowl winning % —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.146.194.42 (talk) 08:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Ties should be accounted as a half a win in the winning percentage. Basically this formula will be used (W+[T/2])/(W+L+T). Reorion (talk) 05:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sortable Table?

I thought it might be a good idea to have the alphabetical table be sortable, but when I made it, it looked pretty ugly. I don't have time now, but if someone else wanted to try to make it functional and nice-looking, that would make this page even better. --SuperNova |T|C| 05:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] redundant sections

Given that the first table is sortable on all columns, no new information is presented in the third and fourth sections. The last two tables could be deleted, which would have the benefit of reducing the possibility of inconsistencies (which have already occurred) when updates are made.

[edit] major bowls

Given that about half of FBS (I-A) teams now play in bowl games each season, a bowl just isn't what it used to be. I propose adding a table to this page, or perhaps creating a new page, which would contain teams' records in major bowls. In my view, "major bowls" are Orange, Rose, Sugar, Cotton (pre-BCS), Fiesta (BCS), and the BCS NCG. Z1perlster (talk) 18:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
