- The AP Poll was introduced in 1936. Thus, there are no polls for previous seasons.
- The Coaches Poll was introduced in 1950. Therefore, polls for prior seasons do not exist.
- 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.
- The Big 6, Big 7, and Big 8 were the same conference. The name was unofficially changed when the membership changed.
- Overtime rules in were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.
- 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.
