The Poling System was a mathematical rating system used to rank college football teams.[1] Its selections were published in the Football Review Supplement and several newspapers.[1] The system was developed by Richard R. Poling, a native of Mansfield, Ohio who had played college football at Ohio Wesleyan University.
The Poling System is considered by the NCAA to have been a "major selector" of national championships for the years 1935–1984.[1]: 108
Champions
The Poling System named contemporary champions from 1935 to 1984 and retroactively named champions from 1924 to 1934.[1]: 108–109, 111–114, 120
