Pre WWII, P5 programs:
.888 Notre Dame ('07-'26)
.872 Michigan ('94-'13)
.847 Tennessee ('26-'45)
.828 Minnesota ('00-'19)
.811 USC ('14-'33)
.810 Pitt ('14-'34)
.788 Vanderbilt ('03-'22)
.787 Texas A&M ('02-'21)
.772 Georgia Tech ('09-'28)
.754 Cal ('19-'38)


Post WWII, P5 programs:
.857 Nebraska ('82-'01)
.851 Alabama ('61-'80)
.838 Miami ('85-'04)
.836 Ohio State ('01-  )
.831 Oklahoma ('71-'90)
.830 Florida State ('85-'04)
.830 Penn State ('67-'86)
.794 Florida ('90-'09)
.793 Texas ('59-'78)
.779 LSU ('01-  )
.774 Ole Miss ('52-'71)
.751 Georgia ('01-  )


Why did I do this?  
I'm wondering if either list would fall down, long term, more easily than the other.  Are the helmet programs that peaked 100 years ago safer or more at risk than the more recent ones?

Huskers good after they started wearing helmets and the invention of the forward pass

2000 wasn't a bad season

1999 was better
