I guess the good news is that someone is guaranteed to get their first win.

No. One cumulative win is the closest (1960). Cal was 1-7-1 and Stanford was 0-9. Cal won.

With today's overtime rules that's true, but I rememnber 1989 when 1-6 Stanford played 1-6 Cal and the game ended in a tie.

1988 (the game was at Cal). Stanford was 3-6-1 coming into the game and Cal was 5-5.
Edited. Pretty sure both teams had 1-6 conference records because I lost a big bet over that game. We stipulated that if neither team won 2 conference games both of us lost. I had to put a Cal license plate frame on my brand new Mustang GT and my friend had to sing the Dirty Golden Bear
www.jhowell.net has the records of every season played by college teams dating back to the early 20th C. That was my source. Check it out.
