Greatest College Football Programs of All Time

 

Coaches Poll, College Football Rankings: Greatest Programs Of All-Time

We started from scratch from when we did this a few years ago and reran all the numbers. Like we did with the AP rankings, CFN devised a scoring system giving every UPI/USA TODAY national champion 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom of the top 20 in the early years, and then it became the top 25 after USA TODAY took over.

Based on the final Coaches Poll top 25 rankings from 1950 through to Georgia’s national championship after the 2022 season. Who earned the most all-time recognition from the voters?
