Games missing from our records

Wikipedia’s season articles list one game of Princeton’s 2006 season that CollegeFootballData.com, where this site’s results come from, doesn’t have. It doesn’t count in the record, Elo ratings or series totals here. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.
