Seasons

 * 1) The AP Poll was introduced in 1936. Thus, there are no polls for previous seasons.
 * 2) The Coaches Poll was introduced in 1950. Thus, there are no polls for previous seasons.
 * 3) 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).
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.
