Sources & coverage
Season links open the original year and team. The 1920 Bears/Cardinals rows use official full-club records; their archive links cover APFA opponents only, and points are unavailable in that official table. Regular-season ties are excluded from PCT before 1972 and count as a half-win from 1972. Postseason columns use recorded playoff games; an em dash means no postseason result is supplied in this table. Shared wartime teams are identified in their year rows. Historical rows retain period club names.
