Isn't this "stat" slightly skewed because of ACCCG's and additional games (i.e. new 12 game seasons)?

it would be better to see overall records in first seasons.

CPJ just jumped into the #3 (I think) spot of total wins in his first twelve seasons - I can't find the article now.

I think all would be forgiven if we went 12-2.

Gee... I wonder if we should discount this given that we played two Div II [sic] schools. :rolleyes:

If you do that you have to remember Heisman occasionally played teams of volunteers (not the Tennessee ones, real volunteers).
