Rankings

Main article: 1964 small college football rankings

College Division teams (also referred to as "small college") were ranked in polls by the AP (a panel of writers) and by UPI (coaches). The national champion(s) for each season were determined by the final poll rankings, published at or near the end of the regular season, before any bowl games were played.

College Division final polls

In 1964, UPI's top ranked team was 9–0 Cal State Los Angeles. 8–0 Wittenberg was top ranked by the AP panel, and second in the UPI poll.
