AP small college football rankings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AP small college football rankings was a system used by the Associated Press (AP) from 1960 to 1974 to rank the best small college football teams in the United States.
The United Press International led the way with its UPI small college football rankings starting in 1958. The AP followed with its own small-college rankings starting in October 1960. The AP rankings were issued weekly and were based on ballots cast by an AP board of experts, consisting of one person in each of eight NCAA districts.[1] The national champions selected by AP and UPI differed on five occasions: 1962, 1963, 1964, 1968, and 1974.[2]
