Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/1946 season inventory

This is an inventory of team articles covering the 1946 college football season. As of July 18, 2022, we have stand-alone articles on 243 of the 788 college football teams (30.8%) that fielded a team during the 1946 season.

In addition, we also have conference-level articles created in lieu of stand-alone articles on each team. These conference articles include coverage for an additional 206 teams (26.1%).

The geographic and conference architecture is taken from the 1947 NCAA Football Guide. Articles in need of work (approximately 38) are listed in italics.

Warning: The fact that a team is included in this inventory does not mean that a stand-alone season is warranted. Before creating any stand-alone season article, it is important to verify in advance that there is sufficient WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable sources to pass WP:GNG.
