Ordered by conference winning percentage, then conference wins. Division splits and tiebreakers aren’t applied. Poll: the FCS coaches’ poll (else the final AP rank). Elo is our own rating, a measure of strength, not a prediction.

SWAC teams are 18–⁠16 outside the conference.

• Division II9–⁠6
• Others8–⁠5
• FBS teams1–⁠5

The bar is the share of those games won. Games against teams from the FBS count together.

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 1978; a school’s separate stays are listed apart.

Counted only in seasons a school was a member on file (from 1978); 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.

Its IRS Form 990 for the year to June 2025 reports $25.6 million in revenue, $7.3 million of it from television, and $21.1 million in expenses; it ended the year with $22.4 million in assets. Its best-paid, commissioner Dr Charles McClelland, was paid $400,000.

From the organization’s IRS Form 990, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and the IRS’s e-file data. Fiscal years end in June; top pay is the best-paid person’s total compensation on the return, listed for e-filed years (2018 on). Grants are the ones the conference lists on Schedule I; bowl payments are the ones bowls list on theirs. See every filing at ProPublica (EIN 64-0679979).
