Forfeits and Vacated Games
Some school's results have been altered by retroactive NCAA penalties. As a matter of policy, Sports Reference only reports the results of games as played on the field. See our list of forfeits and vacated games for more details.
Type is the type of adjustment:
- F = Forfeit
A forfeit changes a school's original win or tie into a loss and its opponent's original loss or tie into a win. - V = Vacated
A vacated game is expunged from a school's record, although its opponent's record is not changed.
