There are three teams that appear in the data files contained in this archive two years earlier than when the NCAA designated them as belonging to Division I-A. Each of them were found in the Sagarin ratings that appear in the USA Today so I have kept them in my data files since it was an easy way to validate that (at least) I had all the games that were played; more than 95% of them are also the correct score. The teams (and years that you might want to remove them from) are: MKC (87-88 & 88-89), CHA (89-90 & 90-91) and ORA (91-92 & 92-93). The # of teams column below includes them, so those six years are one higher than the NCAA "sanctioned".
