Officially 643–593–48 since 1901 (per Wikipedia, rechecked weekly); game by game here, 615–560–41 (−28 wins, −33 losses, −7 ties). Our file starts in 1912; the program began in 1901. Some games are missing from our source.
Game by game, 114 of 115 seasons are complete on file. For one season (1922) 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.
