NCAA University Division football rankings
Two human polls comprised the 1972 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) football rankings. Unlike most sports, college football's governing body, the NCAA, does not bestow a national championship, instead that title is bestowed by one or more different polling agencies. There are two main weekly polls that begin in the preseason—the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll.
The final UPI Coaches Poll was released prior to the bowl games, in early December.
USC was a unanimous selection, with all 35 first-place votes.
