Notes
  1. The list only shows games that have an associated Wikipedia article for either the name of the game or the trophy. Other series have been played more times than games listed here that have no Wikipedia article. For example, in the FBS, Washington State and Oregon State have played more than 100 times, and in the FCS, Harvard and Brown have played over 100 times.
  2. Rivalry ended when Mississippi College rejoined NCAA Division II in 2014.
  3. The rivalry began between Pomona and Occidental Colleges. Pomona now operates a joint athletic program with Pitzer College, both being among the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges, with the joint program known as Pomona–Pitzer.
  4. The rivalry began between Pomona and another Claremont College, Claremont McKenna. As noted previously, Pomona now operates a joint athletic program with another Claremont College, Pitzer College, as Pomona–Pitzer. Claremont McKenna is now part of the Claremont–Mudd–Scripps athletic program along with two other Claremont Colleges, Harvey Mudd and Scripps Colleges.
  5. Thomas More, which had left the NAIA for NCAA Division III in 1990, returned to the NAIA in 2019, and moved to NCAA Division II in 2023.
  6. This is the year the rivalry began. The Edmund Orgill Trophy was first competed for in 1954.
  7. The 2020 game, which was intended to be the last in the rivalry, was not held due to COVID-19. St. Thomas involuntarily left the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in spring 2021, joining the Division I Summit League for most non-football sports and the FCS Pioneer Football League. [46]
  8. Rivalry ended with Occidental's discontinuation of its football program amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and Whittier's discontinuation of football following the 2022 season.
  9. Although King's had played Wilkes nine times before the establishment of the trophy, the first game for the Wilkes-Barre Mayor's Cup was in 1996, per King's College's preview of the 2009 game.
