2023-02-10: Play Index Update.

We are in the process of moving all of the CFB Play Index content to Stathead.com/football. Sometime this spring, we will be removing the tools on this page. We don't have a firm timeline for the launch of CFB on Stathead, but we fully intend to have it available before the start of the 2023 college football season.

We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.

Receive an announcement when CFB on Stathead.com/Football has launched.

Output only includes games where both schools were classified as major schools and thus will not necessarily match "official" all-time results.
