Games missing from our records

Games that Wikipedia’s team-season articles list and our game records (CollegeFootballData.com) don’t have: mostly the early seasons, and lower-division seasons before about 2000, when our source keeps only games against the top division. Each row is a schedule row that matches none of our games; where both teams’ articles list the game alike, it has two sources. A team we don’t have (a club, a service team, a school) is a name only (kind). For the 1908-1914 and 1917-1921 seasons, Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide is a second source (the spalding columns: the guide’s year, its scan and how many of the two teams’ records list the game): it confirms rows, and adds games neither we nor the articles have when both teams’ records in it give one score, or one clean record of a team that is FBS today does; the guide gives no dates or sites. These games count in no record, Elo rating or series on this site.
