College Football Researchers Association

The College Football Researchers Association (CFRA) was founded in 1982 by Anthony Cusher of Reeder, North Dakota, and Robert Kirlin of Spokane, Washington. The CFRA took a vote of its members from 1982 to 1992 to select an annual college football national champion. Members were asked to rank the top 10 teams, and a point system was used to determine a national champion based on the members' votes. The CFRA also conducted a retroactive poll to determine historical national champions for each year from 1919 to 1981. The CFRA is recognized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a major selector of college football national champions, and the CFRA selections are included in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision record book.

The following list identifies the college football national champions as selected by the College Football Researchers Association.
