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.

1,959 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 1960–1979. 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 1960–1979 CFBFR explicitly designates each relationship from the later of 1960 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 1960–1979 window. A pair with activeFrom after 1979 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 1960–1979.

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. 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. Only national player honors qualify. Davey O’Brien1977–1980regional predecessor awards are excluded; its national quarterback award starts1981.

Final AP first-team position selections only, 0.5 per distinct selection within the shared honors cap. Preserve actual historical roster sizes and two-way-era position labels; never substitute consensus or another selector. Excludes AP second/third teams and preseason teams.

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

Explicit AP-1 facts transcribed from the named annual historical tabulations, with AP-specific position notes retained. Primary contemporaneous AP newspaper reports and a club media guide corroborate the unusual 1964, 1965, 1976 and 1977 roster context. Other years retain secondary tabulation provenance transparently.

Championship and bowl classifications

National champions are the contemporary final AP and coaches-poll winners only; FWAA-only or retroactive selector champions are not added automatically. AP awards were pre-bowl1960–64and1966–67, post-bowl1965and1968onward; coaches awards pre-bowlthrough1973, post-bowl1974onward. Every qualifying national champion receives26; a champion recognized only before bowls incurs ordinary bowl-loss2 if it subsequently loses, separately from opponent quality. Rose/Sugar/Orange/Cotton are major bowls; Fiesta remains ordinary before1986. Runner-up16 before standard margin/shutout loss penalties is restricted to actual AP#1/#2 bowl matchups won by a qualifying national champion:1962Rose,1963Cotton,1968Rose,1971Orange,1978Sugar. No runner-up award merely for finalAP#2. Full/shared conference titles receive8; no divisional bonuses. Division eligibility remains separately enforced by the compiler. On-field results prevail over subsequent forfeits; pre-existing title ineligibility creates no title.

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.

Heritage.2 corrections

Wyoming and Utah State in1960 and1961, New Mexico State1960, and Arizona State1961 each gain8 points for omitted Skyline or Border conference championship credit. Formula weights are unchanged.

Heritage-era model policies

National champions are the contemporary final AP and coaches-poll winners only; FWAA-only or retroactive selector champions are not added automatically. AP awards were pre-bowl1960–64and1966–67, post-bowl1965and1968onward; coaches awards pre-bowlthrough1973, post-bowl1974onward.

AP polls ranked20 teams in1960–1961,10 in1962–1967, and20 from1968–1979. Tied ranks can yield an additional listed team. No unlisted ranks are invented. The final AP poll was issued before bowls in1960–1964 and1966–1967;1965 and1968 onward used a post-bowl AP poll. Coaches poll timing may differ. Recognized AP/coaches champions keep the26-point title package; a champion selected before bowls still receives the ordinary−2 bowl-loss deduction if it subsequently loses its bowl. Opponent-quality penalties remain separate. Ties use half-win regular-season normalization and zero opponent/rival points. Regional predecessor awards are not treated as national awards.
