What counts: a game is ranked when the opponent stood in that week's AP Top 25 at kickoff. Games are regular season and postseason. 1 game where the opponent's rank could not be determined is left out of both columns. Games are placed by season and week; dates and scores are not shown. Past results, not a projection.
