FBS fans might be surprised to find out the University of Oregon isn't the most successful college football team in the land of beards and flannel, but it's true, and it really isn't all that close.
Other than juggernauts Mount Union and UW-Whitewater, Linfield is the best team in their division.
They won the Oregon title based on their dominance of the Northwest Conference (12 titles in the last 16 years) and the fact that they are the last team other than the afformentioned Raiders and Warhawks to win the D3 National Championship, which they claimed back in 2004. Since then they've made it to the D3 Final Four three times.
It has been 60 years since the last time the Wildcats suffered a losing season, the longest such streak in college football -- simply referred to as "The Streak." With the current team they have assembled, it's hard to imagine The Streak coming to an end any time soon for the best college football team in Oregon.
