Records are counted from the games on file, with forfeits as the result awarded; seasons before 1950 hold only the games found so far. Final rank is Carolina Varsity's season-end power rank among North Carolina teams. Coaches are as listed by the source for each season. † Another source records this season differently and the difference is not settled yet; its record is shown underneath. Where the other source is the one in error, the season is not marked.
