A new off-season means many things, the best of all being new and incredibly pointless way of looking at CFB stats. Not the craziest metric, and I’m pretty sure that I haven’t seen it looked at on here before, but in pure wins/losses, how did each state do throughout the 2025 FBS season?
Info on the table:
- Going to be leaving states without FBS programs off of the list to hopefully make it easier to follow.
- For the states with just 1 team, I’ll include them for the sake of completeness.
- For best/worst in state, I just used the highest/lowest overall win count rather than win%

Some of my own notes looking at the multi-team states:
-
The state of Utah has the best win% (72.5%)
- The states of Iowa (68.0%) and Arizona (65.4%) came in behind them
- This is made doubly impressive for UT considering the fact that they have 3 schools, whereas IA and AZ both only have 2
-
Massachusetts was an abysmal place for FBS CFB this year, with a grand total of just 2 wins out of 24 games played
- This is what got me thinking about doing this in the first place
- Worth noting that the only wins MA has to its name are over Fordham (FCS, went 3-9) and Syracuse (3-9) from BC’s season opening and closing games, respectively
- Hey, at least they have Drake Maye
-
North Carolina and California, despite being on the heavier side with 7 programs each, both finished with perfect .500 records
-
Indiana, as I’m sure you would have guessed, has the largest gap in win count between best and worst at 14
- Runner-ups appear to be Oregon and Georgia, both maintaining an 11 win difference between the top and bottom rungs of the ladder
I am positive that I had to have gotten something wrong, so let me know if anything looks/sounds off.
