    2. A running total of the number of head coaches, with coaches who served separate tenures being counted only once. Interim head coaches are represented with "Int" and are not counted in the running total. "" indicates the team played but either without a coach or no coach is on record. "X" indicates an interim year without play.
    3. Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since. [8]
    4. When computing the win–loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss. [9]
