Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c d In July 2013, Montana vacated its last six games, including five wins, of the 2011 season: three wins (including two conference games) during the regular season and its entire NCAA Division I FCS playoffs (two wins and a semifinals loss). Thus, Montana's official record is 6–2 and 5–1 Big Sky.[2]
- ^ a b Montana opted out of the conference season, but still scheduled non-conference games due to COVID-19 concerns.
