Rankings from AP small college poll

Rankings

[edit]

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.

Small college final polls

[edit]

In 1969, both services ranked 9–0 North Dakota State first and 10–0 Montana second. They later met in the Camellia Bowl, which North Dakota State won, 30–3.[1]

Bowl games

[edit]

The postseason consisted of four bowl games as regional finals, all played on December 13. The Grantland Rice Bowl moved from Murfreesboro, Tennessee to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Bowl Region Location Winning team Losing team Ref
Boardwalk East Atlantic City, New Jersey Delaware 31 North Carolina Central 13
Grantland Rice Mideast Baton Rouge, Louisiana East Tennessee State 34 Louisiana Tech 14 [5]
Pecan Midwest Arlington, Texas Arkansas State 29 Drake 14 [6][7]
Camellia West Sacramento, California North Dakota State 30 Montana 3 [8]
