From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an inventory of season articles covering the 1945 college football season. As of June 18, 2022, we have articles on 133 of the 375 college football teams that fielded a team during the 1945 season. The geographic and conference architecture is taken from the 1946 NCAA Football Guide. Articles in need of work should be 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.
