Teams Outside AP Top 10 Receiving First Place Votes

Note that prior to 1968 the number of voters sometimes numbered well over 100, and from 1961 to 1967 only 10 teams were ranked. This explains why there are more instances of lower-ranked teams with first-place votes in that period.

This list has been updated (September 2015) to include unranked teams. However, Others Receiving Votes data is very hard to find prior to the 1990s, so there may have been other unranked teams that received first-place votes that have not been found yet.
