I left out:
  • 11-4 or worse on 15 games:  My theory here is that in order to play 15 games Bama would have to play in the SECCG, get to the CFP, and win the CFP semi-final.  Even assuming that they lost the CFP Championship that would require at least three losses prior to the CFP and I just can't see a scenario in which a three-loss team gets into the CFP.  
  • 8-6 or worse on 14 games:  My theory here is that in order to play 14 games Bama would have to either play in the SECCG or win a CFP semi-final.  Neither of those things seem plausible for a team with at least four losses.  
  • 5-7 or worse on 13 games:  If Bama was worse than 6-6 on their first 12 then they wouldn't get a 13th.  

looks ok, i'd only maybe argue the 5-7 notes. several 5-7 teams have gone bowling (a disgrace, imo) and with bama being o the right side of apr and the amount of fan travel, i'd bet bama gets a bowl. and i'd hope we wouldn't.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they "couldn't" beat Bama.
They have vistories over some decent P5 teams - no team in the top 10 or top 5, but on any given Saturday in September.........
Only way NDSU would win vs bama would be for bama to give the game away, NDSU wouldn't beat them...  NDSU can beat P5 teams, but not bama

If that formats right and you can make sense of it, it is all the post-war 10 year .800 club members.  I also included Ohio State for each cycle just for my own curiosity.  

Upthread I think it was @Brutus Buckeye who pointed out that approximately the 70's was the time after the two-platoon system but before scholarship limits when the helmets just plain dominated.  Thus you had the Big2/Little8 in the BigTen with tOSU and Michigan completely dominating.  It was similar in other conferences as evidenced by the fact that the most .800 club members in a 10-year period which happened in the three consecutive cycles of 1968-1977, 1969-1978, and 1970-1979.  In those three cycles Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Alabama were all over .800.  Additionally, Texas was in for the first of the three while USC was in for the last two.  

Current .800 club membership streaks are:
  • 11 cycles:  Boise
  • 4 cycles:  tOSU
  • 2 cycles:  Bama

Teams most likely to stay in or get in to the .800 club for 2009-2018 (% is for 2009-2017 the first nine years of the next cycle):
  • .90400 Bama:  They will remain in the .800 club even if they go 0-12.  (As noted above they have a decent chance to hit .900 for 2009-2018.  That hasn't been done since Boise did it from 2002-2011 and it hasn't been done by a major program since Oklahoma from 1949-1958.  FWIW, the closest any major program has come since 49-58 was when Oklahoma went .89831 from 71-80.)
  • .8333 Ohio State:  They will remain in the .800 club if they go 7-6 or better.  
  • .82500 Boise:  They will remain in the .800 club if they go 8-5 or better.  
  • .78226 Clemson:  They would join the .800 club if they went 15-0.  
  • .78151 Oklahoma:  They would join the .800 club if they went 15-0.  

No other teams have a mathematical chance to get into the .800 club for 2009-2018.  Thus, for 2009-2018 the .800 club will have between one and four members.

not necessarily. an elephant weighs about 13000 lbs, so would take 52 raiders averaging 250 lbs (which is generous, imo) to match the elephant.
second, who said bama is a single elephant? just because they have a single elephant mascot? mt union mascot is a single macaw anyway, not raiders.
and like mt union aren't the macaws, bama isn't the elephant(s), we're the tide. i'm fairly sure that'll outweigh any amount of raiders, macaws and/or elephants. or any other mascots that i can think of for that matter.
Well yeah, but it's all water weight.

LoL, Wisconsin is the next one out and even a 15-0 season in 2018 wouldn't quite get them to .800 for 2009-2018.  I think that Wisconsin doesn't have a serious chance until that 8-6 from 2012 falls off for 2013-2022.  Since then they have gone:
  • 2013:  9-4:  .692308
  • 2014:  11-3:  .785714
  • 2015:  10-3:  .769231
  • 2016:  11-3:  .785714
  • 2017:  13-1:  .928571
  • 2013-2017:  54-14:  .79412

It's a fair point.

since we have a P5 class and a G5 class, some folks were simply pointing out the difference in classes
you are obviously smart enough to know the difference, but some folks just wanted to point out the obvious
I’ve found that in dealing with the public, there is no such thing as obvious.

I’d argue they weren’t so much as pointing out the obvious as they were shielding their eyes and screaming, “Get them out of my sight!”
