- Rutgers was one of two college football teams. The two teams played each other twice during the 1869 season. Due to both teams having a 1-1 record, both Rutgers & The College of New Jersey (later named changed to Princeton).
- From 1929-1975, Rutgers was in a three team conference called The Middle Three Conference. Rutgers won 32 conference championships in that conference, but the NCAA listed Rutgers as an independent during this time.
- Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.
