Texas ranks as the third most winning program in college football history, in terms of both total wins and win percentage. As of the end of the 2007 season, the Longhorns' all-time record is 820-315-33 (.716). Only Notre Dame and the University of Michigan have won more games and a greater percentage of games played than Texas, which recorded its 800th victory with the Longhorns' 41-38 win over the USC Trojans in the 2006 BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the program was somewhat less successful, but the Longhorns have since returned to prominence in college football, finishing in the top six of the AP and coaches' polls in 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005.
