Methodology

How every record on the site is counted.

Conference records

Membership

Each game counts for the conferences both teams belonged to that season. Texas's 2023 games count for the Big 12, and its 2024 games count for the SEC. Switch to current membership to regroup every game by where teams play today.

Postseason

Bowl and College Football Playoff games count and can be filtered on their own. Conference title games are played between members of the same conference, so they never appear.

FCS

Every FCS program is grouped into one opponent. Hide the FCS chip to leave those games out of every total. Games against Division II and III teams aren't counted.

Independents

Notre Dame, UConn, and other independents share one row. Games between two independents aren't counted.

Results

Games count as played on the field. Wins the NCAA later vacated still count, and home, away, and neutral-site games are weighted the same.

Small samples

Matchups with fewer than four games are hatched in the matrix. Treat those records as anecdotes, not trends.

Team rows

What counts

A pinned team's row includes every game it played in the selected seasons, even across a conference move. Its cell against its own conference is its conference record.

Opponents

The membership setting applies to opponents: each one counts for its conference as of that game, or where it plays today.

Which teams

Any FBS program can be pinned. FCS teams can't, because games between two FCS teams aren't in the data.

This week

Weeks

Weeks follow the CollegeFootballData calendar and run Monday through Sunday, Pacific time. Only games between teams from different conferences are listed.

Games to watch

Games with an AP-ranked team come first, then games between two Power 4 teams. Ranks come from the AP poll released before that week.

Upsets

A result is an upset when an unranked team beats a ranked one or a lower-ranked team wins. Between two unranked teams, it's an upset when a Group of 5, independent, or FCS team beats a Power 4 team, or an FCS team beats an FBS team.

Standings

Conferences are ranked by their record against other FBS conferences that season, bowls included. Games against FCS teams are shown but don't change the order. Move shows how the latest week changed the order.

Data

Source

Scores, schedules, AP polls, and team logos come from CollegeFootballData.com. Team names and logos belong to their schools.

Updates

From August through January the site pulls new results every morning. A game appears once it's final and the next update runs.

Coverage

Every game since 2014 between an FBS team and an FBS or FCS opponent. Games against Division II and III teams are left out.
