The seasons.
The scoring inputs.

Formula v0.1 weights are unchanged. These are reproducible draft-model ratings, not official NCAA ratings or an independent audit of every source fact. All scored schedules reconcile with provider records, except the documented official-school schedule supplement for New Mexico State’s postponed 2020 season.

1,657 team-seasons calculated. Only current-directory programs that played major/University Division or I-A/FBS in the selected season are included. Years played in other divisions remain pending a division-specific policy.

Rivalry model policy

Explicit CFBFR retrospective MODEL rivalry designations for 2000–2013. Scoring conventions, not an independently verified inception history. Applied symmetrically to both teams, with unchanged rivalry point weights.

• The 2025 registry supplies 264 candidate relationships. For 2000–2013, CFBFR explicitly designates those relationships from the later of 2000 and the first recorded meeting, except documented later-start exceptions. First meeting is merely an eligibility floor and not a verified rivalry inception date.
• All pair dates are inclusive; a null activeThrough means no upper date, but this file is used only within 2000–2013. Pairs starting after 2013 are intentionally ineligible throughout this batch.
• Generic relationship names avoid assigning modern trophy names to earlier games. Researched year-specific labels may supply historical names; registryName is only the modern candidate-directory label and must not be displayed as a contemporary historical trophy claim.
• New trophy names do not automatically erase an existing relationship. Conversely documented newly introduced relationships can start later under conservative model exceptions.
• Every actual meeting of an active pair counts, including postseason rematches. Dormant years with no game produce no adjustment. Rivalry wins/losses remain symmetric in pair designation, with result/location/rank processed separately by the existing scoring engine.
• This separate catalog does not alter any 2014–2024 or 2025 data or authorize pair designations outside 2000–2013.

The designation applies symmetrically to both teams, including postseason rematches. First meeting is not claimed to be the verified start of a rivalry.

Individual honors

Named national player trophy families from the existing2025.1catalog when they existed; season honored,not ceremony year. One shared trophy counts once per team; both teams receive credit for a cross-team tie. AP first-team selections are separate. Contemporaneous honors are credited as part of the original fan experience,including the2009Mackey;later vacatur is disclosed. Restored2005Heisman is credited.

Final/postseason AP first-team position selections only. Each distinct selection earns 0.5 within the shared honors cap. AP selected 26 first-team slots in 2000 and 2001 (four linebackers), then 25 per year 2002–2013. Generic OL/DL/DB or ST designations are preserved from the published list. No preseason, second/third-team or other selectors.

Heisman: +5 separately. Named national awards: +1 each. AP first-team position selections: +0.5 each. National awards and AP selections share a +5 season cap. Unknown or excluded award families are identified below; this catalog is not a claim to cover every award ever created.

Factual names and schools transcribed from original AP lists or AP syndicated reports and official school/conference reproductions; annual tabulations cross-checked against those primary reports.

Championship and bowl classifications

CFP rounds and national champions follow the CFP history. NY6 bowls outside the playoff use the major-bowl package. Championship-game participants receive the existing conference formula. Recognized shared conference champions without a played title game each receive +8, including Coastal Carolina and Louisiana in 2020. No-game titles do not add an appearance bonus.

No-playing years and schedule corrections

UAB 2015–2016, UConn 2020 and Old Dominion 2020 are excluded from the fan-history average, not scored zero. New Mexico State’s two spring 2021 games are assigned to its school-designated 2020 season. Its fall 2021 schedule remains separate. The canceled 2024 App State–Liberty game is excluded.

BCS era policy

On-field fan-experience results, including subsequently vacated wins and titles. Every shared conference champion receives the standard without-game package. Only full conference titles count; divisional titles do not. BCS/AP split 2003 credits both LSU and USC; 2004 USC on-field title retained. BCS runner-up receives 16 achievement points before the same margin/shutout loss penalties as a CFP runner-up. Title bowls are not counted again as ordinary bowls.

BCS national runners-up receive16 achievement points before the same margin and shutout penalties as CFP final losses. Champions receive26, replacing ordinary bowl credits. The 2003 AP/BCS split credits USC and LSU. On-field wins and honors can remain credited despite later vacatur; the catalog identifies those cases. No additional playoff wins are invented.

Recalculated early draft examples

These early Indiana/Oklahoma State examples now use the same historical inputs as every other program; they were not frozen to their original estimates.
