The records for today's college football are a bit misleading because you're only counting 11 games for guys in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. While today's players get the benefit of at least 12 games and on some occasions 15 games.

yep. and again, it's no knock on anyone, it's just weird to me that no one seems to have noticed this and adjusted record books accordingly.

what got me to even take notice of this was when Tebow started breaking SEC records his senior yr (including a couple of Faulk's), somebody on sports talk here brought up the fact that Herschel's bowl totals weren't being factored in.

Herschel also only played 3 years.

Records (like any statistic) can be a bit misleading when viewed in a vacuum because comparisons often aren't apples-to-apples. More years, more games, more carries, different schemes, different surrounding talent, etc.

Everyone knows this. It isn't that no one noticed, it's that that is how the books read officially

If you are going to change the rules to add Faulk's bowl game, then I could just as easily change the rules and subtract LFs bowl game

In that scenario, LF is the champ.

Official rules = LF
your altered rules= KF
my altered rules= LF
