The Toledo Cup was a trophy presented in the United States from 1934 to 1936 to the college football team recognized as national champions by a group of 250 sports editors from newspapers across the country.[1]
The poll's rules stated that the first team to win the traveling trophy three times would retain permanent possession of the cup.[2] The Minnesota Golden Gophers were promptly voted No. 1 for 1934, 1935, and 1936 and claimed the trophy.[3][2][4] The Toledo Cup is currently displayed in the lobby of the Gibson-Nagurski Athletic Center at the University of Minnesota.[3][2][4]
