Conference titles as each program’s Wikipedia infobox lists them (CC BY-SA), shared titles counted for every co-champion; the conference’s earlier names count as the same conference.

Football membership as CollegeFootballData.com records it under this conference’s name, from 1999; a school’s separate stays are listed apart.

Counted only in seasons a school was a member on file (from 1999); a draft pick counts for the season before the draft. Heisman and All-America lists from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), draft picks from CollegeFootballData.com.
