National champions based on the
Dickinson mathematical system (DS) and three
historical retro polls taken by the College
Football Researchers Association (CFRA), the
National Championship Foundation (NCF) and the
Helms Athletic Foundation (HF). The CFRA and NCF
polls start in 1869, college football's inaugural
year, while the Helms poll begins in 1883, the
first season the game adopted a point system for
scoring. Frank Dickinson, an economics professor
at Illinois, introduced his system in 1926 and
retro-picked winners in 1924 and '25. Bowl game
results were counted in the Helms selections, but
not in the other three.
