2013 NCAA FOOTBALL RECORDS - FBS INDIVIDUAL RECORDS

Individual Records
Under a three-division reorganization plan adopted by the special NCAA Convention of August
1973, teams classified major-college in football on
August 1, 1973, were placed in Division I. Collegedivision teams were divided into Division II and
Division III. At the NCAA Convention of January
1978, Division I was divided into Division I-A and
Division I-AA for football only (In 2006, I-A was renamed Football Bowl Subdivision, and I-AA was
renamed Football Championship Subdivision.)
Before 2002, postseason games were not included in NCAA final football statistics or records.
Beginning with the 2002 season, all postseason
games were included in NCAA final football statistics and records.
From 1937, when official national statistics rankings began, through 1969, individual rankings
were by totals. Beginning in 1970, most season
individual rankings were by per-game averages.
In total offense, rushing and scoring, it is yards or
points per game; in receiving, catches per game
and yards per game; in interceptions, catches per
game; and in punt and kickoff returns, yards per
return. Punting always has been by average, and
all team rankings have been per game. Beginning
in 1979, passers were rated in all divisions on pass
efficiency rating points, which are derived from
a formula that compares passers to the national
averages for 14 seasons of two-platoon Division I
football starting with the 1965 season. One hundred points equals the 14-year averages for all
players in Division I. Those averages break down
to 6.29 yards per attempt, 47.14 percent completions, 3.97 percent touchdown passes and 6.54
percent interceptions. The formula assumes that
touchdowns are as good as interceptions are bad;
therefore, these two figures offset each other for
the average player. To determine efficiency rating points, multiply a passers yards per attempt
by 8.4, add his completion percentage, add his
touchdown percentage times 3.3, then subtract
his interception percentage times two.
Passers must have a minimum of 15 attempts per
game to determine rating points because fewer
attempts could allow a player to win the championship with fewer than 100 attempts in a season. A passer must play in at least 75 percent of
his teams games to qualify for the rankings (for
example, a player on a team with a nine-game
season could qualify by playing in seven games);
thus, a passer with 105 attempts could qualify for
the national rankings.
A pass efficiency rating comparison for each year
since 1979 has been added to the passing section
of all-time leaders to compare that seasons passers with the average rating for all passers during
that year.
For records by position, such as yards rushing by
a quarterback or receiving yards by a tight end, a
student-athlete must have played at least half his
games in a season at that position in order to be
considered for a season record. Only the seasons
he qualified in will be considered for a career record.
In 2000, defensive stats became a part of the statistics. Individual and team records and rankings
included only regular-season games through the
2001 season. Beginning in 2002, all individual and
team records included postseason games. Career
records of players include only those years in
which they competed in the FBS.
Statistics in some team categories were not tabulated until the advent of the computerized statis-

tics program in 1966. The records listed in those


categories begin with the 1966 season and are so
indicated.
Some players in career categories have five seasons listed because they were granted an additional season of competition for reasons of hardship or a freshman redshirt.

COLLEGIATE RECORDS
Individual and team collegiate records are determined by comparing the best records in all four
divisions (FBS, FCS, II and III) in comparable categories. Included are career records of players who
played parts of their careers in different divisions
(such as Dennis Shaw of San Diego State, Howard
Stevens of Randolph-Macon and Louisville, and
Doug Williams of Grambling). For individual collegiate career leaders and team records, see the
collegiate records section.

NCAA DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL


STATISTICS COMPILATION POLICIES
All individual defensive statistics reported to the
NCAA must be compiled by the press box statistics crew during the game. Defensive numbers
compiled by the coaching staff or other university/college personnel using game film will not
be considered official NCAA statistics.
This policy does not preclude a conference or
institution from making after-the-game changes
to press box numbers. This is consistent with existing NCAA policies involving corrections to any
offensive statistics after a contest. Any changes to
press box numbers must be obvious errors, such
as misidentified players, and this should not be
interpreted as a way for press box statistics to be
later updated by the coaching films. Changes
should be made within one week after the game
is played. Statisticians also are reminded that
NCAA policy does not permit changes to awaygame statistics unless approved by the home
sports information director.
It is important to note that this policy applies
ONLY to official NCAA statistics and national rankings, and does not mean a coaching staff cannot
compile separate defensive statistics for institutional use. Those compilations also could appear
in the institution's press releases and/or website,
as long as they are identified as coaching film
numbers rather than official statistics as used by
the NCAA.
The NCAA statistics staff reserves the right to
review any statistics provided to the national office and may withhold publishing/posting those
numbers until the accuracy of those statistics can
be substantiated.

FBS PASSING EFFICIENCY RATING COMPARISON


Passing statistics in the FBS have increased dramatically since 1979, the first year that the NCAA official
national statistics used the passing efficiency formula to rank passers in all divisions. Because passers have
become more proficient every year, the average passing efficiency rating (based on final regular-season
trends) also has risen at a similar rate. For historical purposes, the average passing efficiency rating for the
division by year is presented below to show how any individual or team might rank in a particular season.

% In many seasons during 1946-64, only a few passers threw as many as 15 passes per game; thus, a lower minimum was used.
The annual passing champion was changed from total completions to completions per game in 1970, and then to passing efficiency champion in 1979. The passing efficiency champion from the previous list continues on this next list in 1979.

BLOCKED KICKS RECORDS


Special Note About Blocked-Kick Records:
The blocked-kick records include players from 1937. Even though the other defensive statistics and records began in 2000, blocked-kick records are compiled by most
institutions, and those records are more reliable than tackles, assists, tackles for loss,
pass sacks, passes defended and forced fumbles. The statistics service has been
compiling national statistics and records since 1937.

Blocked Punts
*Record. National champion or national leader in that category that season. ^Active player.

based on what all FBS teams did against FBS opponents when not playing the team in question. Games
against non-FBS teams are deleted, and nine intradivision games are required to qualify. Bowl games are not
included for 1977 to 2001.

on the year-by-year listings.

POLL SYSTEMS HISTORY


(Listed alphabetically)
Alderson System (1994-98), a mathematical rating system based strictly on a point value system reflecting competition and won-lost record. Developed by Bob Alderson
of Muldrow, Oklahoma.
Anderson and Hester (1997-present), a mathematical
rating system developed by Jeff Anderson and Chris Hester.
Published weekly in The Seattle Times since 1993.
Associated Press (1936-present), the first major nationwide poll for ranking college football teams was voted on
by sportswriters and broadcasters. It continues to this day
and is probably the most well-known and widely circulated
among all of historys polls. The Associated Press annual
national champions were awarded the Williams Trophy
and the Reverend J. Hugh ODonnell Trophy. In 1947, Notre
Dame retired the Williams Trophy (named after Henry L.
Williams, Minnesota coach, and sponsored by the M Club of
Minnesota). In 1956, Oklahoma retired the ODonnell Trophy
(named for Notre Dames president and sponsored by Notre
Dame alumni). Beginning with the 1957 season, the award
was known as the AP Trophy, and since 1983, has been
known as the Paul Bear Bryant Trophy.
Berryman (QPRS) (1990-2011), a mathematical rating
system based on a quality point rating formula developed

by Clyde P. Berryman. It takes into account a team's schedule strength, won-lost record, points scored and points
allowed. Predated national champions from 1940 to 1989.

was disbanded after the 1992 season and restarted in 2009


under the coordination of Brad Matthews and involvement
of several past members.

Billingsley Report (1970-present), a mathematically


based power rating system developed by Richard Billingsley
of Hugo, Oklahoma. The main feature of his system is the
inclusion of a unique rule for head-to-head competition,
with the overall system consisting of a balanced approach
to wins, losses, strength of schedule, and home-field advantage. A slight weight is given to most recent performance.
The Billingsley formula does not use margin of victory,
however, the Billingsley MOV formula does include margin
of victory in the calculations.

Colley (1992-present), a mathematically based power


rating developed by Wes Colley of Virginia. His work is published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Colley is a graduate of Princeton University with a doctorate in astrophysical
sciences. Member of 2011 BCS.

Football News (1942-44, 1951-60). Predated national champions from 1919 to 1929.

Parke Davis (1933), a noted college football historian


and former Princeton lineman, Parke H. Davis went back
and named the championship teams from 1869 through
the 1932 season. He also named a national champion at
the conclusion of the 1933 season. Interestingly, the years
1869-75 were identified by Davis as the Pioneer Period;
the years 1876-93 were called the Period of the American
Intercollegiate Football Association, and the years 18941933 were referred to as the Period of Rules Committees
and Conferences. He also coached at Wisconsin, Amherst
and Lafayette.

College Football Researchers Association (1982-92,


2009-present), founded by Anthony Cusher of Reeder,
North Dakota, and Robert Kirlin of Spokane, Washington.
Announced its champion in its monthly bulletin and No.
1 team determined by top-10 vote of membership on a
point system. Predated national champions from 1919 to
1981, conducted on a poll by Harry Carson Frye. The poll

Congrove Computer (1993-present), a mathematically based power rating developed by Dave Congrove.
The Congrove Computer Rankings have been published
on CollegeFootballPoll.com since 1999 and referenced by a
number of sites and publications.

DeVold System (1945-2006), a mathematical rating


system developed by Harry DeVold from Minneapolis,

Minnesota, a former football player at Cornell. He eventually settled in the Detroit, Michigan, area and worked in the
real estate business. The ratings appeared in The Football
News starting in 1962. Predated national champions from
1939 to 1944.

Dickinson System (1926-40), a mathematical point system devised by Frank Dickinson, a professor of economics
at Illinois. The annual Dickinson ratings were emblematic
of the national championship and the basis for awarding
the Rissman National Trophy and the Knute K. Rockne
Intercollegiate Memorial Trophy. Notre Dame gained permanent possession of the Rissman Trophy (named for Jack F.
Rissman, a Chicago clothing manufacturer) after its third victory in 1930. Minnesota retired the Rockne Trophy (named
in honor of the famous Notre Dame coach) after winning it
for a third time in 1940.
Dunkel System (1929-present), a power index system
devised by Dick Dunkel Sr., founder/owner (1929-75); by
Dick Dunkel Jr., owner (1975-02); and by Bob Dunkel, coowner (2002-present), Richard H. Dunkel Jr., co-owner
(2002-present) and John Duck, executive producer, of the
Daytona (FL) Beach News-Journal.
Eck Ratings System (1983-2005), a mathematical point
system developed by Steve Eck, an aerospace worker with
a masters degree from UCLA. The factors in the poll were
game outcome, strength of opponent and location of game.
Football News (1958-02), weekly poll of its staff writers
had named a national champion since 1958.
Football Writers Association of America (1954-present), the No. 1 team of the year is determined by a fiveperson panel representing the nations football writers. The
national championship team named receives the Grantland
Rice Award.
Harris Interactive (2005-present), a panel of former
players, coaches, administrators and current and former
media, who committed to ranking college teams each
week. Panelists were randomly selected from among more
than 300 nominations submitted by FBS conference offices
and Notre Dame. The panel has been designed to be a statistically valid representation of all 11 FBS conferences and
independent institutions. Does not make a final selection
after the bowls.
Helms Athletic Foundation (1941-82), originally known
by this name from 1936 to 1969 and established by the
founding sponsor, Paul H. Helms, Los Angeles sportsman
and philanthropiSt. After Helms death in 1957, United
Savings & Loan Association became its benefactor during
1970-72. A merger of United Savings and Citizen Savings
was completed in 1973, and the Athletic Foundation
became known as Citizens Savings Athletic Foundation.

75

In 1982, First Interstate Bank assumed sponsorship for its


final rankings. In 1941, Bill Schroeder, managing director
of the Helms Athletic Foundation, retroactively selected
the national football champions for the period beginning
in 1883 (the first year of a scoring system) through 1940.
Thereafter, Schroeder, who died in 1988, then chose, with
the assistance of a Hall Board, the annual national champion
after the bowl games.

Rothman (FACT) (1968-2006), a computerized mathematical ranking system developed by David Rothman
of Hawthorne, California. FACT is the Foundation for the
Analysis of Competitions and Tournaments, which began
selecting a national champion in 1968. Rothman is a semiretired defense and aerospace statistician and was co-chair
of the Committee on Statistics in Sports and Competition of
the American Statistical Association in the 1970s.

National Football Foundation (1959-present), the
National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame named its
first national champion in 1959. Headquartered in Irving,
Texas, the present National Football Foundation was established in 1947 to promote amateur athletics in America. The
national champion was awarded the MacArthur Bowl from
1959 to 1990. In 1991 and 1992, the NFF/HOF joined with
UPI to award the MacArthur Bowl, and in 1993, the NFF/
HOF joined with USA Today to award the MacArthur Bowl.

2013 NCAA FOOTBALL RECORDS - NATIONAL POLL RANKINGS

National Poll Champions


Over the years, there have been more than 30 selectors
of national champions using polls, historical research
and mathematical rating systems. Beginning in 1936, The
Associated Press began the best-known and most widely
circulated poll of sportswriters and broadcasters. Before
1936, national champions were determined by historical
research and retroactive ratings and polls.
Note: * indicates selectors that chose multiple schools. The
national champion was selected before bowl games as follows: AP (1936-64 and 1966-67); UP-UPI (1950-73); FW (1954);
NFF-HOF (1959-70). Since 1975, pre-bowl game selections are
not included on the yearly listings. In all other latter-day polls,
champions were selected after bowl games. The Sagarin Rating
includes Jeff Sagarins actual rating that combines scores and
pure won-lost records. Sagarin also now provides an ELO-Chess
rating that uses only pure won-lost records, and is the one utilized in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) rankings.

*On January 6, 1948, in a special postseason poll after the Rose


Bowl, The Associated Press voted Michigan No. 1 and Notre
Dame No. 2. However, the postseason poll did not supersede
the final regular-season poll of December 9, 1947. A first-place
tie occurred on October 20, 1992, in The Associated Press poll
for the first time in 51 years, but Miami (FL) had one more firstplace vote, 31-30, than Washington.

A Year-by-Year History
of the Associated Press Poll
1936The Associated Press Poll began with sports editors of AP newspapers voting for
the top 20 teams nationally. Minnesota and Northwestern each had 7-1 records and, even
though Northwestern whipped the Golden Gophers in the regular season, Minnesota was
named No. 1 in the final poll.
1937California began with a 5-0 record and was ranked No. 1 in the first three polls, but
Jock Sutherlands Pittsburgh Panthers took over the lead in November and finished 9-0-1
and No. 1.
1938Previous years AP leader Pittsburgh was ranked No. 1 to begin the season, but Dutch
Meyers TCU Horned Frogs, behind legendary QB Davey OBrien, posted an undefeated 10-0
regular season for the poll championship.
1939Pittsburgh and Tennessee, two powerhouses, exchanged the No. 1 spot in the poll
until Homer Nortons Texas A&M Aggies, behind big fullback John Kimbrough, took over the
top spot late and finished 10-0 in the regular season for the mythical AP title.
1940Eastern power Cornell led for the first four weeks until eventual champion Minnesota,
behind coach Bernie Bierman and All-Americans George Franck and Urban Odson, finished
No. 1. It was the second of three national poll champions for Bierman.
1941Minnesota made it two in row behind Heisman Trophy winner Bruce Smith as the
Gophers posted a perfect 8-0 record.
1942Ohio State started the season as the No. 1 team until a midseason loss dropped the
Buckeyes back into the pack. Georgia and Boston College shared the No. 1 spot until the last
week, when Ohio State, behind legendary coach Paul Brown, finished as the top team.
1943Notre Dame led wire-to-wire, the first time a team had led every week since the
poll originated in 1936. Coach Frank Leahy, in only his third year, had plenty of tools to work
with, including backs Angelo Bertelli (Heisman Trophy winner and consensus All-American)
and Creighton Miller (fourth in the Heisman voting and consensus All-American). The line
was loaded also with end John Yonaker, tackle Jim White and guard Pat Filley, all consensus
All-Americans.
1944Notre Dame started off the year as the No. 1 team, but Red Blaiks Army team, behind
consensus All-Americans Doc Blanchard (Mr. Inside) and Glenn Davis (Mr. Outside), rolled to
an undefeated season and the first of two consecutive No. 1 finishes.
1945During the last year of World War II, no team more personified Americas determination than Army, which ran the table again behind Blanchard and Davis, and consensus
All-America linemen John Green and Tex Coulter. The Cadets posted a perfect 9-0 record, but
service academies did not participate in bowl games then.
1946This was a pivotal year for the AP poll in that Army was expected to sweep to the
No. 1 spot easily, again behind Blanchard and Davis. During the season, Army finished 9-0-1,
highlighted by a 0-0 tie at Yankee Stadium against Johnny Lujack-led Notre Dame (8-0-1) in
the Game of the Decade. However, Army barely beat an outclassed Navy team in its final
game, and the voters selected Notre Dame No. 1.
1947Notre Dame and Michigan alternated Nos. 1 and 2 slots throughout the year
with Notre Dame getting the final regular-season nod, even though both teams were
9-0. In the ensuing bowl game, Michigan rolled over Southern California, 49-0. The public
demanded that the voters release another post-bowl poll and the Wolverines won easily. AP
decided, however, that the postseason poll did not supercede the final regular-season poll
of December 6, 1947.
1948Defending champion Notre Dame alternated with North Carolina and Michigan
as No. 1 in the first few polls, but the Wolverines took over in November and raced to a
9-0 record and a poll championship in coach Bennie Oosterbaans first year as a head coach.
1949Michigan was No. 1 the first week before Notre Dame took over and cruised to a
perfect 9-0 mark and the national poll title. It was the last of four No. 1 finishes in seven years
for coach Frank Leahy. The stars were end Leon Hart (Heisman Trophy winner and consensus
All-American) and consensus All-America backs Emil Sitko and Bob Williams.
1950This was another pivotal year as APs rival United Press began its own top-20 poll,
voted on by a panel of coaches. The two polls would go head-to-head for the next 45 years.
On the field, Notre Dame, Army (behind Dan Foldberg), SMU (behind Kyle Rote) and Ohio
State (led by Heisman winner Vic Janowicz) all led at least one week. But Oklahoma, behind
coach Bud Wilkinson and consensus All-Americans Leon Heath and Jim Weatherall, posted

a 9-0 record for the No. 1 spot and then promptly lost in the Sugar Bowl to Kentucky, led by
Babe Parilli.
1951Tennessee raced to a No. 1 ranking on the heels of Bob Neylands coaching and the
fleet feet of consensus All-American Hank Lauricella. Michigan State and California both
mounted weekly challenges, but the Volunteers held on for Neyland's first title in 20 years
of coaching.
1952Michigan State took over in the third week and raced to a perfect 9-0 record behind
coach Clarence Biggie Munn. The Spartans did not play in a bowl game.
1953Notre Dame looked like a sure winner as the Irish led for the first eight weeks of the
season behind Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Lattner. But Maryland, behind the coaching
of Jim Tatum and the play of consensus All-America tackle Stan Jones, made a late bid with
a 10-0 mark. The Terrapins lost in the Orange Bowl to Oklahoma, 7-0.
1954The two polls split for the first time as Ohio State prevailed in the AP and UCLA in
the UP. The two teams did not meet in the Rose Bowl to decide the on-the-field champion.
UCLA had to stay behind because of the Pacific-8s Rose Bowl no-repeater rule since they
had played in Pasadena the year before against Michigan. Ohio State gave coach Woody
Hayes his first AP championship with a 10-0 record and the Buckeyes defeated Southern
California, 20-7, in the Rose Bowl.
1955Oklahoma continued with major college footballs all-time 47-game winning streak
by cruising to an AP No. 1 spot with a 10-0 mark and handing Bud Wilkinson the second of
three national poll titles.
1956This year was a continuation of Oklahomas powerhouse team, which posted a
perfect 11-0 record in the all-time 47-game winning streak that lasted almost four years
(1953-57). Led by center Jerry Tubbs and back Tommy McDonald, the Sooners gave Bud
Wilkinson his final AP national title.
1957Again there was a split vote in the two polls as AP selected as No. 1 unbeaten Auburn
(10-0), under Shug Jordan, even though the Tigers were on probation. UP, the coaches poll,
threw out Auburn from poll consideration and went with Woody Hayes Ohio State Buckeyes
(9-1). Auburn did not go to a bowl, and Ohio State beat Oregon, 10-7, in the Rose Bowl.
19581958 turned out to be the year of the Chinese Bandits in the AP poll. Led by consensus All-America back Billy Cannon on offense and a swarming defense called the Chinese
Bandits, coach Paul Dietzels surprising LSU Tigers took over the No. 1 spot in midseason. LSU
finished 11-0 and beat Clemson in the Sugar Bowl.
1959Even though LSU had Heisman winner Billy Cannon returning, Syracuse took over
the No. 1 slot in early November and posted an 11-0 mark to claim its first poll title. Coach
Ben Schwartzwalder was rewarded with his only championship behind the All-America play
of guard Roger Davis, and Syracuse defeated Texas, 23-14, in the Cotton Bowl.
1960Minnesota, under Murray Warmath, led in both polls before the bowl games but was
upset by Washington, 17-7, in the Rose Bowl. That prompted the Football Writers Association
of America (FWAA) to conduct a post-bowl poll that named Johnny Vaughts Ole Miss Rebels
as champion. Minnesota remained the official winner in both AP and UPI polls.
1961Alabama avoided a minefield of upsets and raced to a 10-0 record to claim the AP
title, even though Iowa, Ole Miss, Michigan State and Texas all were No. 1 at one time during
the year. It was Bear Bryants first of six AP championships.
1962Coach John McKay got his first national title as Southern California bided its time
waiting for four other teams to share No. 1 during the year. The Trojans slipped into the top
spot late with a 10-0 regular-season mark and then downed Wisconsin, 42-37, in the Rose
Bowl.
1963Texas, under Darrell Royal, was a unanimous choice of all of the polls as the
Longhorns took over the No. 1 slot in October, finished 10-0 and then beat a Navy team,
led by Heisman winner Roger Staubach, in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns top player was
tackle Scott Appleton.
1964The 1964 season saw the AP and UPI polls both agree on Alabama as No. 1, while
the other two consensus polls picked Arkansas (FWAA) and Notre Dame (National Football
Foundation). It was Bear Bryants second of six AP titles.
1965AP had its first post-bowl poll while UPI remained with a pre-bowl selection. AP
selected Alabama for the second straight year. UPI went with Michigan State, which then lost
in the Rose Bowl to UCLA, 14-12. Alabama had a 9-1-1 record and then whipped Nebraska,
39-28, in the Orange Bowl.
1966Both Notre Dame and Michigan State were unbeaten as they headed into the
November 19 match-up. The Irish came back from a 10-0 deficit to tie the game in the fourth
quarter. Ara Parseghians Irish actually got the ball back with 1:30 remaining and decided to

run the clock out rather than try to win. His strategy paid off the next week as Notre Dame
crushed Southern California, 51-0, and the Irish were picked No. 1 in both final polls.
1967Southern California rebounded from an early loss to post a 9-1 record and move into
the No. 1 slot in late November. John McKays Trojans beat Indiana, 14-3, in the Rose Bowl to
cap off the season. USC stars were O.J. Simpson, Ron Yary, Tim Rossovich and Adrian Young,
all consensus All-America selections.
1968Ohio State overtook Purdue and defending champion Southern California to
become No. 1 in late November. The Buckeyes finished 10-0 and drilled Southern California,
27-16, in the Rose Bowl.
1969Defending champ Ohio State led the pack for most of the year before Darrell Royals
Texas Longhorns made a strong bid for No. 1 late. The Longhorns finished 11-0, including the
first Game of the Century vs. Arkansas, in which Texas scored a 15-14 victory after trailing
14-0. The team from the Lone Star State then beat Notre Dame, 21-17, in the Cotton Bowl.
Texas had only one consensus All-America player, lineman Bob McKay, but had many productive players, such as James Street, Ted Koy and Steve Worster.
1970It looked like this year might be a repeat of Texas ascension in 1969. The Longhorns
dominated the AP poll for the entire second half of the season, but a 24-11 loss to Notre
Dame in the Cotton Bowl gave Nebraska a chance to take the final No. 1 spot. Bob Devaneys
Cornhuskers had only a tie to mar their final record (11-0-1) and beat LSU, 17-12, in the
Orange Bowl.
1971Nebraskas 1971 team, which many say was the best squad of its era, held the No.
1 spot from wire to wire for Bob Devaney, the first team to do it since Army in 1945. The
Cornhuskers were led by future Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers and defensive stalwarts
Willie Harper and Larry Jacobson, all consensus All-America selections. The years showdown
for Nebraska was a match-up with Oklahoma in Norman in what many still consider the best
"Game of the Century." Nebraska won the hyped contest, 35-31, to finish 13-0, including a
38-6 victory over Alabama in the Orange Bowl.
1972It was all Southern California in 1972 as John McKays Trojans became the second
school in a row to take the No. 1 spot in the poll from first week to last. The 12-0 record
included a 42-17 pounding of Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Southern California was chosen
the winner in all four consensus polls.
1973First defending champion Southern California, and then Ohio State, combined to
keep a lock on the No. 1 position throughout most of the season. But Alabama took over the
last week of November and met No. 3 Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl for the AP title. Notre
Dame won a close 24-23 victory and captured the No. 1 final prize. Coach Ara Parseghian got
his second of two championships behind such players as Dave Casper and Mike Townsend.
1974In the year in which UPI finally moved its final poll until after the bowl games, Ohio
State and Oklahoma led in the AP poll most of the year. Oklahoma, behind a crushing rushing attack headed by Joe Washington, was on probation and not ranked by UPI, but finished
11-0 to take the top AP poll spot. Oklahoma consensus All-America picks were Washington,
guard John Roush and linebacker Rod Shoate. Coach Barry Switzer started his tenure with
two AP titles in his first three seasons and a 32-1-1 record. UPI selected Southern California,
which finished 10-1-1.
1975Oklahoma led the AP poll through September and seemed invincible. However, a
roadblock cropped up in a surprise 23-3 loss to Kansas that snapped the Sooners 28-game
winning streak. That sent Ohio State into the No. 1 AP slot until the crucial bowl games
behind Archie Griffin, who was on track for his second straight Heisman. While Oklahoma
was beating Michigan, 14-6, in the Orange, Ohio State fell, 23-10, to UCLA in the Rose, and
the Sooners had their second straight AP championship. The Oklahoma squad had big-time
talent in Joe Washington, Billy Brooks, Dewey Selmon, Lee Roy Selmon and Tinker Owens,
who all earned All-America mention. Arizona State finished 12-0 and was the only undefeated, untied team. The Sun Devils, however, played in the Western Athletic Conference, not
known as a strong league at the time.
1976Michigan raced to an 8-0 record and led the poll for the first eight weeks. Pittsburgh,
under Johnny Majors, finished strong with a 12-0 mark, including a 27-3 victory over Georgia
in the Sugar Bowl. The Panthers were on top at the end of the season and featured Heisman
winner Tony Dorsett and defensive lineman Al Romano, both consensus All-America picks.
1977Five teams alternated taking the No. 1 AP ranking during the year, and five teams finished the season with 11-1 records, including pre-bowl leader Texas. However, Notre Dame
(11-1) upset the No. 1 Longhorns, 38-10, in the Cotton Bowl by keeping Heisman winner Earl
Campbell in check. Dan Devines Irish, behind consensus All-America players Ross Browner,
Ken MacAfee and Luther Bradley, were also voted No. 1 in the UPI poll.
1978Penn State was No. 1 going into the bowl games but was upset, 14-7, by Alabama in
the Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Tide (11-1) was voted No. 1 by AP, but Southern California got
the nod in the UPI poll because it beat Alabama, 24-14, during the regular season. USC (121) was led by coach John Robinson and future Heisman winner Charles White. The Trojans
whipped Michigan, 17-10, in the Rose Bowl.
1979Alabama (12-0) made it two AP titles in a row and six overall for coach Bear Bryant
as the Crimson Tide drilled Arkansas, 24-9, in the Sugar Bowl to forge ahead of pre-bowl No.
1 Ohio State. The Buckeyes (11-1) dropped out of contention when they lost in the Gator
Bowl to Clemson, 17-15, in the famous coach-slugging-player incident by Ohio State coach
Woody Hayes.
1980Alabama seemed to be in charge early, taking over the No. 1 AP slot for seven
straight weeks until Notre Dame grabbed the spot November 4. But the Irish dropped out
the next week as Georgia pushed into the No. 1 spot behind the running of freshman sensation Herschel Walker. Vince Dooleys Bulldogs finished 12-0 and beat Notre Dame, 17-10, in
the Sugar Bowl.
1981Michigan began as the AP leader before giving way after one week to Notre Dame,
which was passed by Southern California, which was overtaken for a week by Texas, which
then surrendered the top spot to Penn State, which then saw Pittsburgh rise to No. 1. All six
of these teams fell by the wayside as Clemson, under Danny Ford, finished strong with a 12-0
record, including a 22-15 victory over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.

2013 NCAA FOOTBALL RECORDS - ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL HISTORY


1982Pittsburgh and Washington alternated sharing the No. 1 spot until Georgia took over
November 9. The Bulldogs were still the leader going into the bowl games. However, No. 2
Penn State beat No. 1 Georgia, 27-23, in the Sugar Bowl for the AP poll championship. It was
coach Joe Paternos first of two AP national championships.
1983It was a disappointing season for Nebraska, which held the No. 1 AP slot for 14 consecutive weeks, but was edged by fifth-ranked Miami (Florida), 31-30, in the Orange Bowl.
Coach Howard Schnellenbergers Hurricanes took the AP title after winning a battle with a
Nebraska team that had Heisman winner Mike Rozier and consensus All-America picks Irving
Fryar and Dean Steinkuhler.
1984In a year that saw four other teams alternate as No. 1, BYU (13-0) hung around until
fortune pushed the Cougars into the final No. 1 slot. Coach LaVell Edwards charges played no
AP team in the top 20 in the regular season, but dispatched Michigan, 24-17, in the Holiday
Bowl. When No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 South Carolina both lost November 17, the No. 3
Cougars vaulted into the top spot and never gave it up.
1985Oklahoma stayed the course after an early loss to beat No. 1 Penn State, 25-10, in
the Orange Bowl and give Barry Switzer his second AP title. Brian Bosworth and Tony Casillas
were the top players for the Sooners.
1986Penn State had not been No. 1 all year, but the Nittany Lions finished 12-0, capped by
a 14-10 victory over pre-bowl No. 1 Miami (Florida) in the Fiesta Bowl. The bowl was arranged
to match No. 1 vs. No. 2 because the two top teams had no conference affiliation. It was Joe
Paternos second AP title.
1987Oklahoma held the No. 1 spot for all but one week during the year, but Miami
(Florida) grabbed the national poll title by downing the Sooners, 20-14, in the Orange Bowl.
Miami featured a bruising defense with Daniel Stubbs and Bennie Blades topping the consensus All-America team. Coach Jimmy Johnsons 12-0 Hurricanes garnered the second of
four AP titles in 10 years.
1988Notre Dame made a late-season run for APs No. 1 spot and finished a perfect 12-0
after a 34-21 win over West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl to grab the title. Miami (Florida) had
control of the No. 1 spot early before UCLA took over for a couple of weeks, followed by the
Irishs push.
1989Defending AP champion Notre Dame held the No. 1 slot for 12 consecutive weeks.
Colorado took over when the Irish lost a game. The Buffaloes were No. 1 for only two weeks
before Dennis Ericksons Miami (Florida) team moved into No. 1 in the final poll by beating
Alabama, 33-25, in the Sugar Bowl. Colorado lost its chance by losing to Notre Dame, 21-6,
in the Orange Bowl.
1990This was another split between the polls with AP going with Colorado (11-1-1)
while UPI went with undefeated Georgia Tech (10-0-1). In the ensuing bowl games, both
teams won Colorado beating Notre Dame, 10-9, in the Orange, and Georgia Tech downing
Nebraska, 45-21, in the Florida Citrus. This was the season that critics of the bowl system
began talking about creating another way to determine a national champion, indicating that
the polls were not adequate.
1991UPI, which fell on hard times financially, saw its coaches poll switch affiliation to USA
Today/CNN. With two teams each posting 12-0 records, the polls again split with AP naming
Miami (Florida) No. 1 and the coaches poll going with Washington. Again, the media and
public grumbled about not having a clear-cut national titlist, and the Bowl Coalition people
started to think about replacing the poll champions.
1992The Bowl Coalition made its debut to decide a national champion, and Alabama,
under Gene Stallings, upset Miami (Florida), 34-13, in the Sugar Bowl for the title. The
Crimson Tide finished 13-0 to take No. 1 in both polls. Miami (Florida) was No. 1 in the AP poll
for 10 of the season's 15 weeks.
1993Florida State almost led the poll from first week to last, save for November 16 after a
loss to Notre Dame, which took one quick week in the No. 1 roost. But Lou Holtzs Irish were
upended by Boston College, and Bobby Bowdens Seminoles regained the No. 1 spot the
next week. The Seminoles posted a 12-1 record, including an 18-16 victory over Nebraska
in the Orange Bowl. Florida State QB Charlie Ward was the Heisman Trophy winner, and LB
Derrick Brooks and DB Corey Sawyer were consensus All-America selections.
1994Florida and Nebraska held the No. 1 spot for most of the first half of the season and
Penn State went undefeated, but it was Nebraska (also unbeaten at 13-0) that took the championship. The Cornhuskers squeezed by Miami (Florida), 24-17, in the Orange Bowl to hand
Tom Osborne his first AP title after 22 years as the head coach in Lincoln. Joe Paterno saw his
Penn State squad go undefeated and uncrowned for the fourth time.
1995Florida State was the team to beat as the Seminoles held the No. 1 slot for the first
nine weeks, before giving way to defending champion Nebraska. The Cornhuskers ran their
winning streak to 25 straight games with a 12-0 record. The Bowl Coalition matched No.
1 Nebraska with No. 2 Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. Nebraska whipped the Gators, 62-24, to
remove any doubt about the No. 1 team, and the Cornhuskers took the AP prize for the
second straight year.
1996This year marked a change from the Bowl Coalition to the Bowl Alliance, but it also
proved less than satisfying as the top two teams Florida State and Arizona State did not
meet because Arizona State was bound to the Rose Bowl and a game versus the Big Ten
champion. Interestingly, both Florida State and Arizona State lost in their respective bowl
games (Florida State lost to Florida, 52-20), which was enough to lift the Gators into the final
No. 1 spot in both polls. Steve Spurrier got a measure of revenge over the Gator doubters
from 1995, when Florida lost in the title game. Florida QB Danny Wuerffel was the Heisman
winner, and Ike Hilliard and Reidel Anthony were consensus All-Americans.
1997ESPN replaced CNN in the USA Today coaches poll that named Nebraska as its
champion. Michigan finished No. 1 in the AP poll. The Wolverines and Nebraska were both
unbeaten heading into the bowls, and the Cornhuskers finished 13-0 with a 41-21 win over
Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Meanwhile, Michigan (12-0) beat Washington, 21-16, in the
Rose Bowl. Even though both teams won in the bowls, 21 coaches changed their votes in
the USA Today/ESPN poll on the strength of Nebraskas margin of victory and handed Tom
Osborne the third poll championship for Nebraska in four years. Lloyd Carr got his first AP

title in only his third year as head coach of the Wolverines. Michigan DB Charles Woodson
was the first defensive player ever selected as the Heisman Trophy winner.
1998This was the first year of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), and Ohio State,
under John Cooper, was voted No. 1 in the AP poll for the first nine weeks. Phillip Fulmers
Tennessee Volunteers took over the top spot when the Buckeyes lost, and raced to a 13-0
record, including a 23-16 victory over No. 2 Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. Tennessee was
voted No. 1 in all four major polls Associated Press (AP), USA Today/ESPN (USA/ESPN),
National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame (NFF) and Football Writers
Association of America (FWAA).
1999For the first time since Nebraska did so in 1983, Florida State led the AP poll from
wire to wire. It was not easy for Bobby Bowdens Seminoles, as they posted a perfect 12-0
record, but had close calls in beating Georgia Tech, 41-35; Clemson, 17-14; and in-state rival
Florida, 30-23. But Florida State ripped No. 2 Virginia Tech, 46-29, in the BCS Sugar Bowl.
Peter Warrick, Jason Whitaker, Sebastian Janikowski and Corey Simon were all consensus
All-America selections as Florida State finished No. 1 in all four major polls (AP, USA/ESPN,
NFF and FWAA).
2000Nebraska, 12-1 and No. 3 in the AP poll the previous year, looked strong and was
voted No. 1 for nine consecutive weeks to begin the season. Oklahoma, unranked the previous year, took over the No. 1 spot October 30 and cruised into the BCS Orange Bowl to face
No. 2 Florida State. The Seminoles had one loss but the second-best strength of schedule.
Bob Stoops Sooners clamped down on Florida States offense to post a 13-2 victory. For
Stoops, in only his second year as a head coach, it was the first Oklahoma AP poll title since
1985 under Barry Switzer. Oklahoma finished 13-0 behind QB Josh Heupel (Heisman runnerup to QB Chris Weinke of Florida State), LB Rocky Calmus and DB J.T. Thatcher, all consensus
All-Americans.
2001Florida and Miami (Florida) fought it out all year for a BCS crown and No. 1 spots
in all four major polls. Miami finally came out on top by posting a perfect 12-0 mark and a
decisive 37-14 victory over No. 2 Nebraska in the Rose Bowl, which finally became a part of
the BCS process. Florida ended up fifth in the BCS rankings because of two regular-season
defeats. Associated Press No. 2 Nebraska (11-2) overcame a 62-36 pounding by AP No. 14
Colorado in its final regular-season game to hold on to the No. 2 BCS ranking and the Rose
Bowl date. Miamis Larry Coker was only the second first-year head coach to win a national
title (Bennie Oosterbaan of Michigan in 1948) as the Hurricanes were No. 1 in all four major
polls and BCS champion.
2002Defending consensus champion Miami (Florida) held the AP No. 1 spot almost the
entire year (Oklahoma was No. 1 during the week of November 4) and was No. 1 in the BCS
rankings. The Hurricanes then faced undefeated Ohio State, No. 2 in both the BCS and AP
poll, in the Fiesta Bowl. The Buckeyes, under second-year head coach Jim Tressel, held on
for a double-overtime 31-24 victory, snapping the Hurricanes 34-game winning streak,
sixth longest of all-time. The Buckeyes had many talented players, including consensus AllAmericans Mike Nugent (PK), Matt Wilhelm (LB) and Mike Doss (DB). It was the sixth straight
year that the AP poll champion posted an undefeated season.
2003Grumblings about the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) began after the season as
the polls split yet again. AP selected Southern California (12-1) as No. 1 and USA Today/ESPN
picked LSU (13-1) as champion. In a strange turn of events, Oklahoma was No. 1 in the AP
poll for 14 consecutive weeks, and the Sooners looked unbeatable as they rolled to an 11-0
regular-season record. In the Big 12 Conference championship game, however, the Sooners
were rocked, 35-7, by Kansas State. Oklahoma had built up such a lead in the BCS rankings,
however, that it was still ranked No. 1 and faced BCS No. 2 LSU in the Sugar Bowl. Even
though BCS No. 3 Southern California was ranked No. 1 in both the AP and USA Today/ESPN
polls before the bowls, the Trojans were relegated to the Rose Bowl, in which they defeated
Michigan, 28-14, to finish 12-1. LSU then edged Oklahoma, 21-14, in the Sugar Bowl in the
BCS No. 1 vs. No. 2 match-up. The AP pollsters voted Southern California No. 1 and the USA
Today/ESPN voters picked LSU No. 1 and split the nation again. Momentum began gathering
toward a slightly tweaked BCS system that tentatively would add another BCS bowl to the
mix in the future.
2004Southern California left little doubt in the BCS-decided match up with No. 2
Oklahoma that the Trojans were top dogs by racing to a 55-19 victory in the Orange Bowl.
The Trojans were No. 1 in the weekly polls from wire to wire with Oklahoma No. 2, and
both were 12-0 going into the bowl games. The only fans who had a problem with the
BCS championship game were the Auburn supporters, who saw their Tigers post a perfect
13-0 record, yet not be included in the title match up. Again, talk of a playoff system was
heard, with Auburn not only having a perfect record playing in one of the toughest conferences (Southeastern), but finishing No. 2 in the final poll ahead of Oklahoma. Mountain West
Conference power Utah also had an argument to be included after posting a 12-0 mark.
2005For the first time in BCS history, the top two teams in the country faced each other
in the national championship game, as Southern California and Texas met in the Rose Bowl.

95
The game lived up to all its hype, as the Longhorns rallied from a 38-26 deficit with two
touchdowns in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, capped by Vince Youngs eightyard scamper with 19 seconds left for the 41-38 victory.
2006Preseason No. 1 Ohio State played like a national champion from week one to earn a
spot in the BCS championship game against the Gators of Florida. The Buckeyes had already
taken care of another No. 2 in Texas in September, and after the opening kickoff, a 93-yard
return for a touchdown by Ted Ginn Jr., it looked like they would hold off another challenge.
However, the Gators answered quickly and often as Florida grabbed a 34-14 lead at halftime,
coasted to a 41-14 win and was voted the 2006 AP championship.
2007It was a year of upsets as four different schools, including one team three different
times, held the No. 1 spot throughout the year, before LSU claimed the 2007 AP championship. Southern California was the preseason favorite and ran with the top spot the first four
weeks before handing it off to the Tigers. It only took two weeks before LSU moved over for
Ohio State. The Buckeyes hung on to the top spot for four weeks before giving it back to LSU.
The Tigers would fall two weeks later, and this time the Tigers of Missouri would jump to the
No. 1 spot for the first time since 1960. It only lasted one week as Ohio State jumped back
into the drivers seat. For the second straight year, the Buckeyes would lose in the national
championship game, and LSU for the third and final time that season, elevated itself to the
top spot with a 38-24 win.
2008Six different teams held the top spot in the AP poll during the 2008 season. It marked
the second-most teams to be No. 1 in the history of the poll and the most since 1981 when
seven teams were in the top spot. Preseason No. 1 Georgia was the only team not in the top
spot for multiple weeks as Southern California, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama and Florida each
held the top spot at least two weeks. After Texas Techs dramatic 39-33 victory over Texas
knocked the Longhorns out of the top spot in the first week of November, Alabama began a
five-week reign in the top spot. Florida, however, claimed both an SEC championship and the
top spot in the AP poll with a 31-20 victory over the Crimson Tide in the SEC championship
game. The Gators, playing in their second straight 1 vs. 2 matchup, then claimed the BCS
and AP titles with a 24-14 victory over second-ranked Oklahoma in the BCS championship
game, and undefeated Utah used its victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to secure the
No. 2 spot in the final poll.
2009Only two teams held the top spot in the AP poll, both of which were members of the
Southeastern Conference, and for the fourth straight year, an SEC team held the top spot in
the final poll. The defending national champion, Florida, entered the year as the preseason
No. 1 and held that spot for 13 of 14 weeks going into an SEC championship matchup against
No. 2 Alabama. The Crimson Tide claimed the SEC title with a 32-13 victory over Florida to
move into the AP poll's top spot for the second time in 2009. The BCS championship game
pitted No. 1 Alabama against No. 2 Texas and the Crimson Tide's 37-21 win clinched the
national title and the No. 1 spot in the final rankings. While five teams (Alabama, Texas, TCU,
Cincinnati and Boise State) entered the bowl season undefeated, only Alabama (No. 1) and
Boise State (No. 4) completed perfect seasons. Texas and Florida, which each lost only to
Alabama, finished second and third, respectively, while Ohio State rounded out the top five.
2010Four teams spent at least one week in the top spot of the AP poll in 2010, including
three different teams in a three-week stretch in October. 2009 national champion Alabama
was tabbed the preseason No. 1 and held that spot for six weeks until a Crimson Tide loss
allowed Ohio State to take the top spot. A Buckeyes' loss in their first week in the top spot
allowed Oregon to claim its first AP No. 1 ranking in the poll's history. The Ducks held the
top spot for seven weeks until Auburn took over after the final week of the regular season.
In the BCS championship No. 1 Auburn outlasted No. 2 Oregon to give the Southeastern
Conference the top spot in the final AP poll for the fifth straight year. TCU joined Auburn
among the ranks of the undefeated and finished at No. 2. The Tigers and Horned Frogs were
joined in the top-five by No. 3 Oregon, No. 4 Stanford and No. 5 Ohio State
2011Oklahoma and LSU were the only teams picked for the top spot of the AP poll during the regular season in 2011. The undefeated Sooners held the spot until undefeated LSU
overtook them in the fifth poll of the season. The Tigers remained on top as they entered the
bowl season. In the final poll, Alabama was tabbed No. 1 after defeating LSU, 21-0, in the BCS
championship game.
2012Four teams spent at least one week in the top spot of the AP poll in 2012, including
three different teams in a three-week stretch in November. Southern California was tabbed
the preseason No. 1 but dropped to No. 2 the next week after the Trojans beat Hawaii, 49-10,
and No. 2 Alabama defeated Michigan, 41-14, to claim the top spot. The Crimson Tide stayed
No. 1 for 10 straight weeks before falling to Texas A&M on November 10. New No. 1 Oregon
fell to Stanford the next week. Notre Dame took over the top spot and held it for three weeks
heading into the bowl season. In the BCS championship, No. 2 Alabama dominated the No.
1 Irish, 42-14, to give the Southeastern Conference the top spot in the final AP poll for the
seventh straight year.

Associated Press (Writers and Broadcasters) Final Polls


Beginning in 1989, AP selected the top 25 teams instead of 20. Note: On January 6, 1948, in a special postseason poll after the Rose Bowl, the Associated Press
voted Michigan No. 1 and Notre Dame No. 2. However, the postseason poll did not supersede the final regular-season poll of December 6, 1947.

*Beginning in 1974, by agreement with the American Football Coaches Association, teams on probation by the NCAA were ineligible for ranking and national championship consideration by the UPI Board of Coaches. #Beginning in the 1990 season, UPI selected
top 25 teams instead of 20. In 1991-92, the No. 1 team in the final UPI/NFF poll received the MacArthur Bowl, awarded by the NFF
since 1959 to recognize its national champion. Beginning in 1993, the No. 1 team in the USA Today/Hall of Fame poll was awarded
the MacArthur Bowl. The National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame MacArthur Bowl national champions before 1991 are
listed in national polls section.

2013 NCAA FOOTBALL RECORDS - BOWL COALITION, ALLIANCE AND BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HISTORY

Bowl Coalition, Alliance and


Bowl Championship Series History
BOWL COALITION
The history of the College Football Bowl Coalition began in 1992 and lasted for three years
through the 1994 season. The Bowl Coalition
featured four games -- the Orange, Sugar, Cotton
and Fiesta Bowls -- with conference champions
locked into the Orange (Big Eight), Sugar (Southeastern) and Cotton (Southwest) Bowls and the
Fiesta Bowl pairing two at-large teams.
The Fiesta Bowl had the ability to select one
Coalition-eligible team, that was not a conference
champion, before the national selection date.
The original Coalition also involved champions
from the Big East and Atlantic Coast Conferences,
as well as Notre Dame.
Selections were made on the basis of how
the champions of the Big Eight, Southeastern
and Southwest Conferences finished in the final
regular-season poll, which was a combination of
the Associated Press and CNN/USA Today rankings. All selections were made by the Coalition as
a group on the first Sunday in December after the
final weekend of the regular season.
All teams had to have at least six wins against
FBS opponents, and Notre Dame was guaranteed
a spot with seven wins and could still qualify with
six wins given mutual agreement between the
bowls.
There were 56 FBS members that were members of the original Coalition, which also included
original involvement with the Gator and John
Hancock Bowls. The remainder of the bowls remained in place, many with predetermined conference tie-ins. A second layer of bowls eventually was identified and came to be known as the
Tier Two bowls.

for years. The goal was to provide the best opportunity to match the top two teams and provide
the greatest flexibility in creating the postseason
matchups between Alliance partners.
In 1995, the first season of the Alliance, there
was only one at-large position since the merger
of the Big Eight and Southwest Conferences into
the Big 12 had not yet taken place, providing five
guaranteed conference champions that season.
Notre Dame was guaranteed the at-large slot
in 1995 by finishing in the top 10 of either the Associated Press or CNN/USA Today poll.

BOWL ALLIANCE
The Bowl Alliance lasted three seasons, 1995
through 1997, and involved three games -- the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowls. A predetermined
rotation created a situation in which each year a
different bowl had the first two choices, while a
second bowl chose third and fifth and the third
bowl chose fourth and sixth.
Conferences that were a part of the Alliance
were the Big 12, Atlantic Coast, Big East and
Southeastern, leaving two at-large slots.
The most noteworthy change from the Coalition to the Alliance was the elimination of the
conference tie-ins, which had been in existence

Bowl Championship Series


The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was
launched in 1998 to match the No. 1 and No.
2 teams in the BCS rankings in a bowl game to
determine a national champion in the absence
of NCAA-sponsored playoffs. The No. 1 vs. No. 2
game rotated between the Fiesta, Orange, Rose
and Sugar Bowls from 1998 through 2005. A BCS
Championship Game was added in 2006 for the
contest between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the
BCS rankings.
1998Top-ranked Tennessee beat Florida State,
23-16, in the Fiesta Bowl to cap the first BCS year.
1999Florida State returned to the title game
again in 1999, this time appearing in the Sugar
Bowl as the No. 1 team. The Seminoles upended
Virginia Tech, 46-29.
2000It was the Orange Bowls turn to host the
final game, and Florida State kept its streak of appearances alive. However, Oklahomas defense
ruled the evening as the Sooners won, 13-2.
2001Miami (Florida) was the only unbeaten
team in the FBS through the regular season and
earned the top spot in the BCS rankings. Nebraska edged Colorado for the second spot and
joined the Hurricanes in the Rose Bowl. Miami exploded for 34 unanswered points in the first half
on its way to a 37-14 triumph.
2002Miami (Florida) again topped the BCS
regular-season standings with a 2.93 mark and
Ohio State was second at 3.97. However, the
Buckeyes captured the No. 1 vs. No. 2 victory in
the Fiesta Bowl, 31-24 in two overtimes, to take
the national title.
2003Oklahoma led the BCS rankings going
in to the bowl games with a 5.11 mark, LSU was
second at 5.99 and Southern California was third
at 6.15. LSU captured the BCS title by defeating
Oklahoma, 21-14, in the matchup of No. 1 against
No. 2 in the Sugar Bowl. However, in the Associated Press (media) final poll, Southern California
was voted No. 1 while LSU was No. 1 in the USA
Today/ESPN (coaches) final poll.
2004Southern California led from the opening bell to the final BCS game, in which the No.
1 Trojans demolished No. 2 Oklahoma, 55-19, in
the Orange Bowl. The season was not without
controversy, however, as many upset Auburn fans
thought the Tigers should have been in the title
game after posting a perfect 13-0 record.
2005For the first time in BCS history, the undisputed top two teams in the country faced
each other in the national championship game,

as Southern California and Texas met in the Rose


Bowl. The Longhorns rallied from a 38-26 deficit
with two touchdowns in the final five minutes
of the fourth quarter, capped by Vince Youngs
eight-yard scamper with 19 seconds left, for the
41-38 victory.
2006Preseason No. 1 Ohio State played like a
national champion from week one to earn a spot
in the BCS Championship Game against the Gators of Florida. The Buckeyes had already taken
care of another No. 2 in Texas in September, and
after the opening kickoff, a 93-yard return for
a touchdown by Ted Ginn Jr., it looked like they
would hold off another challenge. However, the
Gators answered quickly and often as Florida
grabbed a 34-14 lead at halftime, coasted to a 4114 win and claimed the 2006 BCS Championship.
2007It was a year of upsets as three different
schools, including one team two different times,
held the No. 1 spot throughout the year, before
LSU claimed the 2007 BCS Championship. Ohio
State was the week one favorite and ran with the
top spot the first four weeks before handing it off
to the LSU Tigers. It only took two weeks before
LSU moved over for Missouri. It only lasted one
week as Ohio State jumped back into the drivers
seat. For the second straight year, the Buckeyes
would lose in the national championship game
as LSU claimed the trophy with a 38-24 win.
2008For the second time in three years, Florida
claimed a BCS Championship despite entering
the game ranked No. 2 in the final BCS standings.
The Gators were fourth in the BCS standings going into the final week of the season, but Florida
won a showdown against Alabama, which
was the top-ranked team in the BCS standings.
Floridas win over the Crimson Tide moved Oklahoma into the BCS top spot and set up the BCS
Championship Game between the Sooners and
the Gators. Head coach Urban Meyers Florida
squad controlled the potent Oklahoma offense
and clinched the BCS Championship with a 24-14
victory.
2009Alabama scored 13 points in the fourth
quarter to clinch a 37-21 victory over Texas in the
BCS Championship Game and give the Southeastern Conference its fourth BCS title in as many
years. The Crimson Tide was the top-ranked team
in the BCS rankings followed by Texas after Alabama beat Florida, 32-13, in the SEC championship game. Florida held the BCS top spot 13 of
the first 14 weeks of the rankings until the loss to
Alabama in the SEC title game.

2010Auburn's Wes Byrum kicked a 19-yard


field goal as time expired to give Auburn a 22-19
victory over Oregon in the BCS Championship
Game and give the Southeastern Conference its
fifth straight BCS title. Auburn held the top spot
in the BCS rankings, followed by Oregon. TCU
made it three undefeated teams going into the
bowl season and the Horned Frogs earned a spot
in the Rose Bowl.
2011For the first time in the 14-year history of
the BCS, two teams from the same conference
played each other in the championship game.
The LSU-Alabama rematch from the regular season also guaranteed the Southeastern Conference its sixth straight BCS title. Alabama's Jeremy
Shelley kicked five field goals and Trent Richardson scored the game's only touchdown on a 34yard run. LSU managed only five first downs for
the game and crossed the 50-yard-line only once
as Alabama won, 21-0, to record the first BCS titlegame shutout.
2012No. 2 Alabama rolled past top-ranked
Notre Dame, 42-14, in the BCS championship
game to lock up the Crimson Tides second
straight national title and third in four years. Eddie Lacy, the game's offensive MVP, ran for one
touchdown and caught a pass for another to help
Alabama build a 28-0 halftime lead. For the game,
Lacy rushed for 140 yards on 20 carries. Alabama
quarterback AJ McCarron completed 20 of 28
passes for four touchdowns and 264 yards.

EXPLANATION
To derive a teams poll percentages in the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, each teams point total is divided by a maximum 2,875 possible points in the Harris
Interactive poll and 1,475 possible points in the USA Today poll.
Teams are assigned an inverse point total (25 for No. 1, 24 for No. 2, etc.) for each of their respective computer poll rankings to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the sum total of the remaining four rankings is divided by 100 (the maximum possible points).
This figure produces a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson and Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth
Massey, Jeff Sagarin, and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength within its formula.
The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, and the computer rankings. The highest BCS Average
receives the No. 1 ranking; the second highest receives No. 2, and so forth.

FBS Stadium Facts: Houston and Tulsa claim to be the first college football teams to play in an indoor stadium (the Astrodome on September 11, 1965). But actually, Utah and West Virginia
met December 19, 1964, in the Liberty Bowl in the Atlantic City Convention Hall. Technically, the Astrodome was the first indoor stadium built specially for football and baseball. The first
major-college football game ever played on artificial turf was between Houston and Washington State on September 23, 1966.

FBS Defensive Extra-Point Trends


In 1988, the NCAA Football Rules Committee adopted a rule that gave defensive
teams an opportunity to score two points on point-after-touchdown tries. The two
points were awarded for returning an interception or advancing a blocked kick for
a touchdown on point-after tries.

pass and receivers going out of bounds and
returning prohibited.
1934Three changes encourage use of pass. (1)

Five-yard penalty for more than one incomplete pass in same series of downs eliminated.
1941Fourth-down forward pass incomplete in end
zone no longer a touchback. Ball goes to
opponent at spot where put in play.

T formation.

loss of down and a five-yard penalty from the
spot of the foul.

players numbered other than 50-79 eligible

loss of down at the spot of the foul.

1993Guard-around or fumblerooski play ruled
illegal.
1994Players involved in a fight after halftime disqualified for first half of next game; substitutes
and coaches who participate in a fight in their
team area or leave the team area to join a fight
disqualified for entire next game; squad members and coaches involved in a fight during
halftime disqualified for first half of next game.
1995Defense penalized five yards for entering neutral zone before snap and causing offensive
player to react immediately. Players prohibited
from removing helmets on the field. Players
disqualified after second unsportsmanlikeconduct foul in one game. Fight suspensions
allowed to carry over to next season.
1996NCAA tiebreaker system to be used in all
games tied after four periods.
1997In overtime tiebreaker system, required a
team that scores a touchdown to attempt a
two-point conversion in the third overtime
period. Approved a rule requiring a game
to be declared a tie if it is in overtime but
cannot be finished due to weather, darkness
or other conditions. Chop block redefined
to be penalized if obviously delayed and
added restrictions to the crack-back block to
make it illegal up to five yards beyond line of
scrimmage regardless of position of the ball.
Officials prompted to enforce mouthpiece
rule, charging a timeout to offending team
if clock is stopped and player does not have
mouthpiece in place. To prevent opponents
from leveling punt returners with unnecessarily vicious hits, the penalty was increased from
five to 15 yards.
1998For the first time in history, a backward pass
can be recovered and advanced by the
defense. It is now consistent with the application of the rules similar to how the defense is
allowed to advance a fumble.
1999Holding behind the neutral zone will be penalized 10 yards from the previous line of scrimmage. Dead-ball fouls by both teams that
are part of continuing action or of a retaliatory nature and reported at the same time will
be canceled and the penalties disregarded.
However, any disqualified player must leave
the game. Teams may not break the huddle
with 12 or more players.
2000An illegal block shall now include any highlow, low-high or low-low combination block
by any two offensive players beyond the neutral zone regardless of simultaneous contact
by both. Also, blocking below the waist by
offensive players (crack-back block) now
includes not only wide receivers or players in
motion but any player in motion in any direction at the snap and the area is expanded to
include the neutral zone and 10 yards beyond.
Also, prohibiting a defensive player(s) aligned
in a stationary position within one yard of
the line of scrimmage from making quick or

abrupt actions that are not part of normal


player movement in an obvious attempt to
cause an offensive player(s) to foul.
2001A charged team timeout can be 30 seconds in
duration if so desired by the team calling the
timeout. Most penalties for offensive-team
fouls that occur behind the neutral zone will
be enforced from the previous spot.
2002The penalty for interference with the opportunity to catch a kick, when no contact is
involved, increased from five to 10 yards.
Yardage enforcement of flagrant personal
fouls during possession by the defensive team
may carry from one extra period to the next.
2003The game clock on all kickoffs will start when
the ball is legally touched in field of play. The
two-yard restricted area around player positioned to catch free or scrimmage kick is deleted. Offensive linemen at the snap positioned
more than seven yards in any direction from
the middle lineman of the offensive formation are prohibited from blocking below the
waist toward the original position of the ball
in or behind the neutral zone and within 10
yards beyond the neutral zone. Backs at the
snap positioned outside the normal tackle position in either direction toward a sideline, or in
motion at the snap, are prohibited from blocking below the waist toward the original position of the ball in or behind the neutral zone
and within 10 yards beyond the neutral zone.
2004A camera, with no audio component, may
be attached to cables that hang over the
team area. The head coach may now request
a charged team timeout when timeouts are
not exhausted, and when the ball is dead. No
defensive player who runs forward and leaps
in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or
try may land on an opponent. The referee, if he
is equipped with a microphone, will announce
the number of the player committing the foul.
The receiving team has the option of assessing
the penalty for encroachment by the kicking team during a free kick from either the
previous spot or from the end of the receiving
teams run.
2005Expanded experimental use of in-game video
officiating review to all member conferences
and institutions for the 2005 season. The same
parameters approved for 2004 for the Big Ten
Conference will be used. The video replay will
not be allowed in postseason bowl games
or in NCAA championships. Blocking from
behind near the line of scrimmage was limited
to contact above the knee. Another safety
concern helmet-to-helmet contact and
spearing was addressed by taking a players
intention out of the equation to assist officials
in the proper enforcement of the rule governing that type of contact. The committee
also defined regulation of unsportsmanlike
conduct and celebration penalties to assist
officials, players and coaches in understanding what type of action warrants a penalty.
That means the committee does believe that
spontaneous celebrations that are not prolonged or intended to bring attention to the
individual should be allowed on a limited
basis. A defined list of unacceptable behaviors
was included in the 2005 rules book.
2006After allowing instant replay to review a game
officials call on the field for two seasons on an
experimental basis, the committee approved
one procedure for all institutions and conferences that choose to use it. The procedure
calls for the replay official in the press box
to review all plays on the field and stop the
game. The committee also decided to allow
each team one challenge during the course of
a game, as long as the challenging team has a
timeout. The head coach may request a review
by signaling for a timeout. If the challenge
overturns the call on the field, the challenging
team is not charged a timeout. If the call is not
overturned, the team is charged a timeout. If
a team does not have any timeouts remaining, it is not allowed to request a review. In
hopes of shortening the length of games,
halftime is recommended to be 20 minutes in
duration, but competing institutions are now
permitted to shorten or lengthen halftime

by mutual consent. Other changes include


starting the game clock on kickoffs when
the kickers foot touches the ball, rather than
when the returning team touches the ball,
and starting the game clock when the ball is
ready for play after a change of possession.
In addition, the enforcement of all procedural
fouls committed by the kicking team that
occur before a scrimmage kick (except field
goals) was changed. Now, the receiving team
will have the option of accepting the penalty
after the return or forcing the kicking team to
kick again five yards from the original line of
scrimmage.
2007The committee altered its rule to have the
clock start on the snap after a change in
possession, as opposed to the 2006 rule that
started the clock when the referee signaled
the ball ready for play. Also, the committee returned its rules on free kicks to 2005
standards, starting the clock on kickoffs only
when the ball is legally touched in the field
of play. Other changes include limiting the
play clock to 15 seconds after a television
timeout. Kickoffs moved from the 35-yard
line to 30-yard line. In addition, charged team
timeouts were reduced by 30 seconds and
penalties for all kicking team fouls that occur
during the kick can be enforced at the end of
the run. Finally, the play clock is started when
the ball is handed to the kicker by the umpire
on all free kicks and instant replay reviews are
limited to two minutes to decide to overturn
or confirm the ruling on the field.
2008Helmet Crown and Defenseless Players. The
committee has refined the rules regarding the
use of the helmet as a weapon and the targeting of defenseless players. Emphasis on these
actions highlights concern about potentially
debilitating injuries. It is now a foul when a
player targets an opponent and initiates contact with the crown (top) of the helmet. This
rule is intended primarily for the safety of the
player who initiates the contact. It is also a foul
if a player targets a defenseless opponent and
initiates contact above the shoulders. Each
of these is a personal foul and thus carries a
15-yard penalty.
The definition of the chop block has been
simplified to assist in the understanding of
this rule and to encourage more consistent
officiating. A chop block is now defined as a
high-low or low-high combination block by
any two players against an opponent (other
than the runner) anywhere on the field, with
or without a delay between contacts. The
low component is at the opponents thigh
or below. A dangerous action that can lead to
serious injury, the chop block is a personal foul
that carries a 15-yard penalty.
Horse-Collar Tackle. The committee
addressed the potential hazard to a ball carrier that is grabbed by the inside collar of the
jersey or shoulder pad and quickly jerked
down. The rule prohibits all players from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder
pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of
the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately
pulling the runner down. This does not apply
to a runner who is inside the tackle box or
to a quarterback who is in the pocket. A key
element is the immediacy of the runner being
pulled down, because of the risk of injury. The
horse-collar tackle is a personal foul and the
penalty is 15 yards.
Face-Mask Foul. There is no longer a foul if
any player grabs an opponents face mask
without pulling, twisting or turning it. The
five-yard penalty has been eliminated. This
change does not change the safety aspect of
this rule. Pulling, twisting, or turning an opponents face mask remains a personal foul with
a 15-yard penalty.
40-Second Play Clock. The 40-second play
clock represents a major change in the timing
of the game and will affect how the game
looks and flows. The purpose of this change
is to enhance the consistency of how soon
the ball is ready for play once it has become
dead. In the past, the play clock was set at 25
seconds and started on the referees signal on

every play. Now, the play clock will be set to


40 seconds after the ball becomes dead on
every play and started immediately. In circumstances when the officials stop the game clock
for administrative and other reasons, the play
clock will be set to 25 seconds and started
on the referees signal in the familiar manner.
The 25-second clock will be in effect for penalty administration, charged team timeout,
media timeout, injury timeout, measurement,
change of possession and after a kick, score,
start of each period, start of a teams series
in extra period, instant replay review, other
administrative stoppage.
Also, the committee has eliminated the
15-second play clock, which was used after
television timeouts.
Ball Out of Bounds. When a ball is carried or
fumbled out of bounds, the game clock will
stop, as always. Beginning in 2008, the game
clock will start on the referees signal when the
ball is ready for play, not on the snap. In the
last two minutes of the half, however, the clock
will start on the snap as before, preserving
the ability of the offensive team to maximize
strategic use of the clock.
Instant Replay- Reviewable Plays. The new
rules expand the range of plays for which the
replay official may stop the game to review.
These include certain field-goal attempts,
plays in which the ball carrier is ruled down
and a loose ball is immediately recovered, and
plays in which the ball carrier is ruled out of
bounds when he immediately carries the ball
across the goal line.
Field-Goal Attempts. A field-goal attempt may
be reviewed only if the ball is ruled below or
above the crossbar, or inside or outside the
uprights when it is lower than the top of the
uprights. If the ball is higher than the top of
the uprights, the play may not be reviewed.
Ball Carrier Ruled Down. When a ball carrier is
judged down by rule and the ball is fumbled,
the play may be reviewed if the recovery of the
ball occurs in the immediate action after the
fumble and is before any official signaling that
the ball is dead. However, if the replay official
does not have indisputable video evidence as
to which player recovers the fumble, the ruling
of down-by-rule stands. If the call of downby-rule is reversed, the ball belongs to the
recovering player at the spot of the recovery
and no advance is allowed.
Ball Carrier Ruled Down Near the Goal Line.
When a ball carrier is ruled out of bounds, the
play may be reviewed if his immediate action
takes him into the opponents end zone and
is before any official signaling that the ball is
dead.
Head Coachs Challenge. A new rule expands
the ability of a head coach to challenge a
reviewable ruling on the field. The head coach
now retains a challenge if his initial challenge
is successful and thus results in a reversal by
the replay official. The coach will then still have
a single challenge that he may use anytime
during the game if his team has not used all
of its timeouts. Thus a team may have a total
of two challenges in the game, but only if the
first results in a reversal of the on-field ruling.
Game Administration. Sideline Infraction. The
committee has changed the rule regarding
sideline personnel being in the restricted
area, which is between the sideline and the
coaching box. The former sideline warning
has given way to a sideline infraction, which
carries an immediate yardage penalty. The
first two infractions have a five-yard delay of
game penalty, and the third and subsequent
violations now carry a 15-yard penalty for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
Obtaining Opponents Signals. The rules now
prohibit any attempt to record, either by
video or audio means, the signals given by an
opposing player, coach or other team personnel. Violations should be brought to the attention of the proper disciplinary authority.
2009Roughing the Kicker. The rules now say that if
the punter carries the ball outside the tackle
box, he loses protections provided as a kicker.

Game Administration. The committee


approved a request to allow teams, when
approved by conference office and agreed to
by both teams, to wear colored jerseys as long
as they are clearly contrasting in color. When
agreement is unable to be reached, the visiting team shall wear white.
2010Illegal Wedge Formation. On a free-kick down,
the rules now make it illegal for three or more
members of the receiving team to intentionally form a wedge (defined as two or more
players aligned shoulder to shoulder within
two yards of each other) for the purpose of
blocking for the ball carrier.
201110-Second Subtraction From Game Clock. The
rules now say if a penalty is committed with
the game clock running and less than one
minute remaining in either half, the officials
may subtract 10 seconds from the game clock
at the option of the offended team.
Blocking Below the Waist. The rules now prohibit blocking below the waist except under
specific circumstances. This rule establishes
the principle that blocking below the waist
should be a foul except for some limited circumstances where its danger is less.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fouls. In situations
involving taunting and/or unsportsmanlike
conduct, the fouls will now be treated as they
occur, instead of as dead-ball fouls. Therefore,
if the foul occurs when the ball is live (e.g.,
in the field of play), the foul will be enforced
from that position instead of treating all fouls
of this type as dead ball fouls (after the play is
complete).
2012Players are no longer allowed to leap over
blockers in an attempt to block a punt.
After a touchback on a kickoff, the ball will be
placed on the 25-yard line instead of the 20.
Kickoffs will be moved from the 30-yard line to
the 35.
Players on kick coverage cannot line up more
than five yards off the ball.
If a player loses his helmet, he must leave the
field for one play unless there was a face mask
penalty.
Offensive players in the tackle box and not in
motion at the snap of the ball can block below
the waist legally without restriction.
2013Besides the 15-yard penalty for using the
helmet as a weapon and the targeting of
defenseless players, there will also be an automatic ejection of the player. If the penalty
occurs in the first half, the player must sit out
the rest of the game. If the penalty occurs in
the second half, the player must sit out the
rest of the game plus the first half of the next
game. The replay official can overturn the call
on the field.
Blocking below the waist is now allowed in
typical line play within seven yards of the ball
along the line of scrimmage.
With less than a minute left before either
half, a 10-second runoff of the game clock is
optional if the sole reason for the clock to stop
is an injury.
Three seconds is the minimum amount of
time required to be on the game clock in
order to spike the ball to stop the clock. If one
or two seconds remain on the clock, there is
only time for the offense to run one more play.
Two players playing the same position may
not wear the same number during the game.
If a player's helmet comes off during a play, he
may remain in the game if his team is granted
a charged timeout.
