Notes

  1. 1 2 3 4 In July 2013, Montana vacated its last six games, including five wins, of the 2011 season: three wins (including two conference games) during the regular season and its entire NCAA Division I FCS playoffs (two wins and a semifinals loss). Thus, Montana's official record is 6–2 and 5–1 Big Sky. [2]
  2. 1 2 Montana opted out of the conference season, but still scheduled non-conference games due to COVID-19 concerns.
