Otherwise, Tressel has just as many BCS championships as anybody else (1) and has been there more often than anybody else (3 times).
So his success rate is only 1 in 3. Is this supposed to be special?

The "success rate" in itself may not be special, but the "get there" rate is. 3 times in 7 years. Again: Nobody else has gotten there more times than he has and nobody else has won more than he has.
Bob Stoops has been there three times too, so he's in that category. Pete Carroll has been there twice. So has Bobby Bowden. But I don't think anybody else has been there more than once (let me know if I'm wrong about that).
Nick Saban did it the first time he got there. Les Miles did it the first time he got there. But so did Jim Tressel and Bob Stoops. Before we can say Les Miles or anybody else who is 1 for 1 has done better, we have to see if they can even get there again.
On Stoops: I consider him a tad behind Tressel because he got there 3 times in 9 years as head coach while Tressel got there 3 times in 7 years. But it's close.
