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.

1,040 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 1936–1949. These scoring conventions are not an independent audit of rivalry inception, contemporary recognition or intensity. Every pair designation is symmetric, with existing scoring weights unchanged.

• The 2025 directory supplies 264 candidate relationships. Within 1936–1949 CFBFR explicitly designates each relationship from the later of 1936 and its first recorded meeting, except documented later-start model exceptions. First meeting is only an eligibility floor, not proof of historical rivalry inception.
• Dates are inclusive. A null activeThrough means no upper date, but this file is only applied inside its 1936–1949 window. A pair with activeFrom after 1949 cannot receive a rivalry adjustment in this batch.
• Generic pair names are used unless a researched year-specific label applies. registryName preserves the modern source-directory label only and must not be displayed as a claim about historical trophy or nickname usage.
• A new trophy does not itself erase an older relationship. Documented newly introduced relationships can begin later under conservative model exceptions, explicitly carried forward from the newer period catalogs.
• Every played meeting of an active pair counts, including bowl rematches. No meeting means no rivalry points. The same pair/date policy applies to both teams; the existing scoring engine separately evaluates outcome, rank and location.
• This catalog does not modify any other era catalog or authorize applying this policy outside 1936–1949.

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 from2025.1when they existed; season honored rather than ceremony year. Heisman adds5; other included national trophies add1 under the existing combined national honors/AP-first-team cap. AP first-team selections are a separate catalog. Contemporaneous honors are credited for the original fan experience; later vacatur must be disclosed. One shared trophy counts once per team.

Explicit final AP first-team position selections only.0.5 per distinct selection within shared honors cap. No consensus, other selector, second/third-team or preseason substitution. Retain actual historical roster positions.

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.

excludedFamilies

• Coach/conference/weekly/preseason awards and non-AP All-America selectors

Championship and bowl classifications

Contemporary final AP champions only receive26; coaches poll did not exist until1950. All final AP polls in1936–1949 were issued before bowls. A qualifying pre-bowl champion that subsequently loses a bowl retains title recognition with the ordinary2-point bowl-loss deduction, separately from opponent quality. Postseason unofficial1947AP re-poll and other/retroactive selectors are not additional championships. Rose/Sugar/Orange/Cotton use major-bowl packages. The inauguralCottonBowlJan1,1937 belongs to1936season. No qualifyingAP#1/#2 bowl title matchup won by an AP champion occurred, so no runner-up16 package is assigned merely for finalAP#2. Full/shared recognized major conference titles receive8. MiddleThree scheduling-alliance championships are documented factual honors but excluded from the major-conference8-point package, consistently with rivalry-trophy treatment. Absent cached games do not establish an unplayed season. Wartime no-playing years must be explicitly sourced and excluded, not scoredzero. Military service teams remain opponents at their source classification and final AP rank; they are not reassigned to a present-day service academy.

Recognized full or shared conference champions without a played title game each receive +8. No-game titles do not add an appearance bonus. Game and bowl classifications below are applied only within this catalog window.

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.

Membership and source audit

Primary NCAA major alignment is enforced for1946–1961; the table’s1936/wartime omissions are not treated as evidence of no football. Earlier partial or non-major ratings have been withdrawn. Official wartime no-playing years are excluded from averages. Available supplemental schedules retain their primary/secondary provenance. Data and membership corrections do not change formula weights.

Wartime annual-team convention

Provider-listed wartime annual school-representative teams, including ASTP/ROTC squads, are retained under an explicit CFBFR model convention. Non-major service opponents use the existing non-major matrix. This does not claim an NCAA classification ruling. MiamiOH1944 receives its sourced nine-game8–1 schedule; NMSU1943 receives the four individually newspaper-linked wins. The NMSU article’s narrative points aggregate conflicts with its individual game scores; only the individually sourced results are used. BostonCollege1943 and Vanderbilt1943–44 use the same annual-team convention. Officially unplayed varsity years remain excluded.

Early-era scoring policy

Contemporary final AP champions retain recognition issued before bowls. Existing bowl-loss deductions still apply. Eligible awards begin only in their actual inception year; wartime service-team opponents are retained in the played schedules. No modern playoffs or award families are invented. Missing schedules remain identified explicitly above.
