Notes

  • There are 179 instances of 0-1 teams that were ranked. That includes teams that were still ranked after an off week -- like 2025 Notre Dame and 1984 Auburn -- so they count more than once.
  • There were no preseason polls before 1950 and the first poll in those seasons wasn't released until early-mid October after most teams had played multiple games.
