First of all, I want to thank all of the CFRA voters and followers who make this poll possible. We could not do it without your enthusiasm and support for this great game. As expected, Ohio State was selected as the unanimous CFRA national champion for the 2024 season making them the 155th overall national champion selected by the College Football Researchers Association.  See the almanac page on this site for the full year-by-year and team-by-team national championship breakdowns. Keep in mind that the College Football Researchers Association has elected more national champions than any other NCAA-recognized multi-voter poll in the country! Without further ado, here is this year’s complete final poll. First-place votes are in parentheses.
