What stands out the most besides consistent domination of college football by Notre Dame and Michigan throughout time, it is how weak the Pac 12 has been throughout the history of college football.

Texas is on 6 times.

I don't know what your %s represent. They certainly aren't win %s.
Look at the W/L records in the 60s just as one example (although it is the same throughout the list-just really obvious in the 60s).
