Notes

  1. ↑ What is now known as the Pomona-Pitzer football team was known as Pomona-Claremont from 1950 to 1961. Pitzer College did not exist until 1963.
  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. ↑ University of California, Davis was known as Northern Branch of the College of Agriculture from 1922 to 1959. In common usage, the sports teams were called the "Cal Aggies" from 1924 until the mid 1970s.
  5. ↑ California State University, Long Beach was known as Long Beach State College from 1950 to 1963.
  6. ↑ cfbdatawarehouse.com incorrectly lists two additional 1958 games, against Antelope Valley College and Cerritos College. These were played by Riverside Junior College, not UC Riverside, and are therefore not included here.
