2004 NCAA Division I-A football rankings

none August 2023 2004 USC USC ACC, Big 10, SEC (4) Two human polls and one formulaic ranking make up the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football rankings. Unlike most sports, college football's governing body, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), does not bestow a National Championship title for Division I-A football. That title is primarily bestowed by different polling agencies. There are several polls that currently exist. The main weekly polls are the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. About halfway through the season the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings are released. Legend   Increase in ranking   Decrease in ranking   Not ranked previous week   Selected for BCS National Championship Game (#–#)   Win–loss record (Italics)   Number of first place votes т Tied with team above or below also with this symbol AP Poll This season would be the last season that the AP Poll would be included in the BCS formula. The heavy end of the season politicking for ballot position lead the AP to believe that the BCS undermined the independence and integrity of the poll and could hurt the AP's reputation.AP made call with poll's integrity in mind ESPN 2007-12-13 2004-12-22 https://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=1951112 PreseasonAug 19 Week 1Sept 5 Week 2Sept 12 Week 3Sept 19 Week 4Sept 26 Week 5Oct 3 Week 6Oct 10 Week 7Oct 17 Week 8Oct 24 Week 9Oct 31 Week 10Nov 7 Week 11Nov 14 Week 12Nov 21 Week 13Nov 28 Week 14Dec 5 Week 15 (Final)Jan 5 1.
