Notes
  1. The game against San Jose State was originally going to be played on September 22 but was re-scheduled.[3]
  2. In 1985, UNLV was forced to forfeit all 7 wins from the 1983 season and all 11 wins from the 1984 season, including their victory in the California Bowl.[4] Nevada was given a win on the Fremont Cannon as a result. See Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Vacated victories for an explanation of how vacated victories are recorded.
