Notes[]

  1. ^ Azusa College existed from 1956 to 1964. It merged with Los Angeles Pacific College in 1965 to become Azusa Pacific University. Azusa Pacific's official football records do not include the history from either of the predecessor schools.
  2. ^ Alliant International University was formed in 2001 via the merger of United States International University (USIU) and California School of Professional Psychology. USIU had been known as California Western University (Cal Western) from 1952 to 1967.
  3. ^ The athletic teams for Claremont-Mudd-Scripps did not include Scripps College prior to 1980.
  4. ^ Western New Mexico University was known as New Mexico Western College from 1951 to 1962.
  5. ^ cfbdatawarehouse.com incorrectly lists an additional 1959 game, against Antelope Valley College. This was played by Riverside Junior College, not UC Riverside, and is therefore not included here.
