- Note
- On February 28, 2013, it was reported that the seven Catholic schools that had announced plans to leave the Big East Conference (collectively called the "Catholic 7") would do so in July 2013, two years ahead of the original schedule, and would keep the "Big East" name.[588] On April 3, the football-sponsoring conference that retained the charter of the original Big East announced that it would be called the American Athletic Conference (AAC or The American).[589] Accordingly, the following convention is being used in the 2013–14 table:
- Big East (1979–2013) — The conference as it existed before July 2013.
- Big East (2013) — The new conference formed by the "Catholic 7" schools.
