Ordered by conference winning percentage, then conference wins. Division splits and tiebreakers aren’t applied. Poll: the FCS coaches’ poll, week 7. Elo is our own rating, a measure of strength, not a prediction.

SWAC teams are 20–⁠20 outside the conference so far.

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.

The Southwestern Athletic Conference is a nonprofit. 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).
