Season's Games ˇ

Scheduled Games
including uncertain (?) games

The NCAA has allowed 12 regular season games since in 2006.

Through 2005, the regular season usually comprised 11 games. Extra games were allowed if:

a team played one game outside the continental U.S.,
a conference championship was played,
a pre-season game was played,
in 2002-2003, 12 regular season games were allowed becuase there were at least 14 Saturdays between September 1st and Thanksgiving weekend.

The NCAA eliminated preseason college football games, with the last games being played in 2002 (though the Black Coaches Association Classic received a waiver for the 2003 and 2004 games because of a pre-existing television contract).

Prior to 2006, ND played 12 regular season games in:
