As the program counts them in its Wikipedia article, shared titles included, and listed under each conference’s current name (a Western Conference title of the 1900s counts as a Big Ten title); season pages use the name the conference had that year. A title the article files under a conference the team wasn’t in that season is listed under the one it was. Division titles include years the team tied for its division.

Officially 995–⁠339–⁠53 since 1890 (per Wikipedia, rechecked weekly); game by game here, 1,008–⁠338–⁠53 (+13 wins, −1 loss). Official totals drop vacated and forfeited wins.

Game by game, 115 of 137 seasons are complete on file. For 22 seasons (1890–⁠1903, 1905–⁠12) the record comes from coaching totals and some games are missing, so early totals and streaks count only the games on file.

Records are computed from every game on file at CollegeFootballData.com, whose coverage of the earliest seasons can be incomplete. Elo is this site’s own rating; see how it works on the records page.
