• Source: 1935 college football rankings

      • The 1935 college football season rankings included (1) a United Press (UP) poll of sports writers, (2) a poll of sports editors conducted by the committee responsible for awarding the Toledo Cup to the nation's top college football team, and the (3) Boand, (4) Dickinson, and (5) Houlgate Systems. The Minnesota Golden Gophers (8–0), led by head coach Bernie Bierman, were selected as national champions in the UP poll, the Toledo Cup voting, and the Boand System. The SMU Mustangs (12–0 prior to losing the 1936 Rose Bowl), led by consensus All-Americans Bob Wilson and J. C. Wetsel, were selected as national champions by Dickinson and Houlgate.


      Associated Press rankings


      Weekly top ten rankings were published by the Associated Press news service throughout the season. The rankings were made by Associated Press sports editor Alan Gould.
      Gould's final rankings on December 3, 1935, declared a three-way tie for first between SMU, Princeton, and Minnesota. Controversy surrounding his selections lead Gould to instead poll the nation's sportswriters in subsequent years; thus the AP Poll would officially begin in 1936.


      United Press poll


      At the end of the regular season, the United Press (UP) polled 141 sports writers from all sections of the country. Each writer was asked to rank the top ten teams, and the UP then assigned points with ten points being awarded to a first-place vote, nine points for a second-place vote, etc. The leaders in the poll were:

      The following teams were ranked below the top 10:
      11. Fordham
      12. North Carolina
      13. Duke
      14. Holy Cross
      15. Auburn
      16. Northwestern
      17. Alabama
      18. (tie) Army, Iowa, UCLA
      21. (tie) Nebraska, Ohio
      23. (tie) Marquette, Washington, Saint Mary's
      26. (tie) Temple, Dartmouth, NYU


      Toledo Cup
