The history of the NCAA Football Rankings
The NCAA Football Rankings were first created in 1936, and they have been used to determine the national champion ever since. The rankings have undergone a number of changes over the years, but the basic principles have remained the same.
In the early years, the rankings were determined by a panel of sportswriters, and they were based primarily on team record. In 1968, the rankings were expanded to include coaches and broadcasters, and they began to take into account strength of schedule and margin of victory.
The current NCAA Football Rankings system
The current NCAA Football Rankings system is a combination of human polls and computer rankings. The human polls are conducted by a panel of coaches, sportswriters, and broadcasters, and they account for two-thirds of the total ranking. The computer rankings are based on a number of different factors, including team record, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.
