Games missing from our records
Wikipedia’s season article and Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1918) list three games of William & Mary’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. The guide gives no dates or sites, so the games only it gives have none here. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.
