Notes

  1. The Division I-A, I-AA and I-AAA designations were confusing and as a result, misapplied by the public, boosters and media when referring not only to their local football programs but also to other sports such as basketball. The Division I Board of Directors, composed of Division I presidents and chancellors voted on the change in August 2006. The Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) includes those programs that compete in an effort to participate in the postseason bowl system. The NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) includes those programs that compete in an effort to participate in the NCAA championship postseason structure (one of the 88 NCAA national championships).

  2. The yellow color is used only when Kent State reaches a bowl but does not hold a share in the conference title. In any case that Kent State has a share of the conference championship, the green color is used.
  3. The blue color is used only when Kent State receives a playoff berth but does not hold a share in the conference title. In any case that Kent State has a share of the conference championship, the green color is used.
  4. Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.
  5. The Associated Press began conducting a weekly college football poll in 1936.
  6. The college football coaches' poll has been sponsored by multiple organizations since its creation in 1950. Its current sponsor is USA Today.
