==Changes==
This template was created as a replacement for a prior version that was [[Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 November 23#Template:NCAAFootballSingleGameHeader|deleted]]. It was designed to use as many of the same parameter names as possible to ease the transition, but there are some differences. This template used to be used at the top of game articles but was nominated for TfD for violations of [[WP:MOS|MoS]]. This new design makes it a normal Infobox and also deprecates {{tld|Infobox CollegeFB Bowl}} which was used to individual bowl games. This template is a combination of the old design and the Bowl template.

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Old template !! New template
|-
| ''Visitor Total''
| rowspan="2" | Used for input of total score for the teams
| rowspan="2" | New template uses [[meta:Help:ParserFunctions|parser functions]] to automatically add scores; these variables have been removed
|-
| ''Home Total''
|-
| ''Type''
| Manually entered the type of game
| Now has certain codes for the types of games which are used elsewhere in the template (i.e. using ''c'' does not allow the use of MVPs)
|-
| ''Image''
| rowspan="8" | Not in original template; taken from Bowl game template
