Thanks to all the CFRA voters and followers who make this poll possible. We had another great season with a very interesting final set of rankings. One unique aspect of this poll is that we have a tie at # 2 between Oregon and TCU. This is also one of the few national polls where Ohio State failed to be unanimously selected as champion. Overall, this is Ohio State’s fourth CFRA national championship, as the Buckeyes take home the 145th annual edition of this award.
