AP Ranks Georgia Bulldogs No. 15 in All-Time Poll

Who’s the best college football team of all-time? It’s an endless debate, but the Associated Press has used its 80-year history of polls to come up with a pretty interesting answer.

The AP has compiled information from its rankings, which date to 1936 (1,103 total polls), to create an all-time top 25. The service awarded one point for each poll appearance, an additional point for each No. 1 ranking and 10 points for an AP national title.

The top 25:

1. Ohio State
2. Oklahoma
3. Notre Dame
4. Alabama
5. USC
6. Nebraska
7. Michigan
8. Texas
9. Florida State
10. Florida
11. LSU
12. Penn State
13. Miami
14. Tennessee
15. Georgia
16. Auburn
17. UCLA
18. Texas A&M
19. Michigan State
20. Washington
21. Arkansas
22. Clemson
