1964 small college football rankings
The 1964 small college football rankings are rankings of college football teams representing smaller college and university teams during the 1964 college football season, including the 1964 NCAA College Division football season and the 1964 NAIA football season. Separate rankings were published by the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press International (UPI). The AP rankings were selected by a board of sports writers, and the UPI rankings were selected by a board of small-college coaches.
The 1964 Wittenberg Tigers football team (8–0), led by senior quarterback Charlie Green, was selected as the small-college national champion by the AP. The 1964 Cal State Los Angeles Diablos football team (9–0) was selected as the small-college champion by the UPI and rated No. 3 by the AP. Prairie View (9–0) was recognized as the black college national champion and rated at No. 2 by the AP and No. 8 by the UPI.
