Ask and ye shall receive, gailtate (from sports-reference.com)!
Past 25 seasons: 120 wins, 93 losses, 0 ties; winning pct = 56.3
Past 50 seasons: 215 wins, 184 losses, 4 ties; winning pct = 53.8
I counted a tie as 1/2 win.
Might be more interesting to look at decades since 1920:
1920s: 30-10-4; 72.7%
1930s: 28-24-6; 53.4%
1940s (no football 1943-45): 26-21-1; 55.2%
1950s: 29-31-4; 48.4%
1960s: 21-33-2; 39.3%
1970s: 46-22-2; 67.1%
1980s: 30-47-2; 39.2%
1990s: 42-38-0; 52.5%
2000s: 33-51-0; 39.3%
2010s: 66-25-0; 72.5%
Maybe it's because my freshman year at Stanford was 1980, but I still consider this the golden age of Stanford football in spite of the disaster of 2019.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
