  1. The AP Poll was introduced in 1936. Thus, there are no polls for previous seasons.
  2. The Coaches Poll was introduced in 1950. Therefore, polls for prior seasons do not exist.
  3. The MVIAA did not have any standings or award a champion during the 1918 football season due to World War I and the outbreak of the Spanish Flu.
  4. The Big 6, Big 7, and Big 8 were the same conference. The name was unofficially changed when the membership changed.
  5. Overtime rules in were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.
  6. Iowa State tied Colorado for the Big 12 North Champion, but Colorado was picked to represent the Big 12 North in the Big 12 Championship Game.
