Games missing from our records
Wikipedia’s season article and Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1918) list four games of USC’s 1917 season that CollegeFootballData.com, where this site’s results come from, doesn’t have. They don’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.
