Notes

  1. The University of California, Davis sports teams were commonly called the “Cal Aggies” from 1924 until the mid 1970s.
  2. The athletic teams for Claremont-Mudd-Scripps did not include Scripps College prior to 1980.
  3. 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.
  4. Azusa College existed from 1956 to 1964. It merged with Los Angeles Pacific College in 1965 to become Azusa Pacific University. Azusa Pacific's official football records do not include the history from either of the predecessor schools.
  5. 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.
