Officially 682–562–57 since 1896 (per Wikipedia, rechecked weekly); game by game here, 687–569–50 (+5 wins, +7 losses, −7 ties). Our file starts in 1903; the program began in 1896. Official totals drop vacated and forfeited wins.
No season on file for 1913: the program may not have played, or our source may be missing it.
Game by game, 122 of 123 seasons are complete on file. For one season (1918) 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.
