1966 NCAA University Division football rankings

Final AP poll

The final AP Poll was released in early December, at the end of the 1966 regular season. In the previous season, it was released in January for the first time, after the bowl games, but not in 1966 or 1967. Since the 1968 season, the final AP Poll has been released in January; it ranked only the top ten teams from 1962 through 1967.
Notre Dame received 41 of the 56 first-place votes; Michigan State received eight and Alabama seven.
