Conference records aren’t recorded for earlier seasons, so those rows show overall records only.
4 further seasons include postseason games our source doesn’t name. They may be bowls, conference championship games or other postseason games, so they aren’t added to the bowl total above.
Final rankings begin with the 1936 season, when the AP poll started. Earlier seasons are blank because no poll existed, not because the team was unranked.
