[edit] College football articles needing help

Please feel free to ask for help from your fellow college football fans here (newer articles at the top, please).

I brought the list up to 100 schools. There's more on the talk page if you want to format them for the article.

[edit] Requests

[edit] Notable football schools that do not have separate athletics pages

Please add to this list any schools with notable football programs that do not currently have an athletics page or have little or no football coverage on their athletics page

[edit] Articles needing Photographs

[edit] Photographs

[edit] Articles needing sources

  • Touchdown -- done 06:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Eligible receiver -- Source added for NCAA rules, can prolly be used for Touchdown as well.

[edit] Miscellaneous

  • Create coaches template for schools similar to {{SoonersCoach}}, {{GoldenHurricanesCoach}} and {{LonghornsCoach}}.
    • Please check the Master Team Table for existence or preformed named template for a school. No need to list here when complete.
    • Shouldn't there be a way to systematically screen-scrape a list of coaches from some comprehensive source and output it as MediaWiki markup in the form of the template we want? - PhilipR 19:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The old Mirage Bowl (college football) needs an article. Many notable teams played in this Tokyo-based game, including Notre Dame and USC (alas, not against each other...). I would put it together but I need to leave the office for the weekend; I put it to one of you skilled gentlemen! --Bobak 23:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The articles on Division I, Division II and Division III should be renamed as NCAA Division I etc. and disambiguation pages set up. Division I is too vague, as NUMEROUS different definitions applied. I did clean up these articles some, but some additional work needs to be done, such as adding "independent" teams to the pages. I may get to this, or someone else can if they do so before I get a chance. --Jayron32 20:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I suggest someone should create an Michigan vs. Ohio State game 2006 article. This game is considered to be one of the greatest games ever and should be added to Wikipedia. I can give a first hand account of what happened outside of the stadium and what famous people went there. Spongefan 19:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
    • This probably shouldn't occur on the project page, so if much more discussion occurs on this topic, please move it to the project talk page. However, I disagree that this article should be created. We're 2 days after and people are saying it's the greatest game ever? I'd like to see some cite, and even still, I would call it overblown hype. They could be a big part of each of their respective season page, but until we know how the season ends (what bowl games they get), I don't think it should be created. Maybe even parts of a rivalry page since it's been called the greatest rivalry. But a single game that's not a bowl game as the greatest ever? Over hype.--MECU≈talk 23:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Actually, several games considered among the greatest ever weren't bowl games. Take Nebraska-Oklahoma 1971, or Texas-Arkansas 1969. Still, I do agree with most of MECU's point. — Dale Arnett 01:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
