re: College Football programs with 15 or more wins in a season...

Nearly every winner going forward now will be on this list due to the expanded playoffs ?

Will they?

IIRC, there were ten seasons with a four team playoff. In those ten seasons, 4 teams went undefeated.

It’s obviously mathematically harder to win 16 games than 15. But I’d also consider things like eliminating divisions and rematches making it more difficult, at least in theory. The longer season means increased potential for injury. You might also argue that teams now know they can suffer a loss and still get in the playoffs.

so will we still care about 15 wins or will we throw a huge parade for first 16 or 17-game winner?

With that said, I do think at some point in the near future, a team will go 16-0, and the first team will get a huge parade, with the second a little less.

My guess would be the first 17-0 team, at least under the 12 team format, would be from a non P4 league and would make headlines for that.
