sportsdataverse.cfb.load_cfb_schedule only brings in games as far back as 2002, but cfbd actually has games back to ~1860, I don't see a reason not to bring them all in, even if there's no attendant pxp?

Anything beyond 2001 is outside the scope of the ESPN API, which a lot of CFB data is sourced from in SDV.

Just for an example, week 2, 2001 CFB season:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard/_/week/2/year/2001/seasontype/2

And one year before, shows 0 games, because those games aren't accessable/don't exist in ESPN's API:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard/_/week/2/year/2000/seasontype/2

If you would like to contribute the scores of actual CFB games to the SDV project, the following website is a good place to start, although if we were to integrate this data, we will need to figure out a way that works with existing/future schedule data.

The games exist in cfbd, it's a matter of properly joining two databases.
