Bowl games
Notes
- ^ From 1962 to 1967, the AP Poll only ranked the top 10 teams. From 1936 until 1961, the AP Poll ranked 20 teams. In 1968 the AP Poll returned to ranking 20 teams. It ranked 20 teams until 1989 when it expanded its listing to the top 25 teams, which is the number it ranks currently.[1] From 1936 to 1967, with the exception of 1965, the AP released its final poll at the conclusion of the regular season and before the bowl games. In 1965 and every year since 1968, the AP has released its final poll after the bowl games have concluded. From 1950 to 1973, the final Coaches' Poll was released at the conclusion of the regular season and before the bowl games. Since 1974, the final Coaches' Poll has been released at the conclusion of the bowl games.[2] The Coaches' Poll has been sponsored by multiple organizations since its creation in 1950. Its current sponsor is USA Today.[3]
