The All-Time Associated Press Poll

I have a few more days before the new gig starts so I've been trying to get up to speed and work on a few databases and things that will be useful down the road. One of those is the All-Time Associated Press Poll. 

Those who have been following me know that I really like this unofficial compilation that settled an uncountable number of arguments over the years, and even use it as one of the 10 categories in my annual programs rankings.

The "poll" was originally compiled and organized by Charles Woodroof, former SEC Assistant Director of Media Relations. However, when the SEC stopped doing so a few years ago I kept updating it on my website database that was recently discontinued. 

So I decided to do so here. 

Basically, the all-time standings are the points totals from every final AP polls, dating back to 1936. 

Specifically, from 1936-961 the wire service ranked 20 teams. From 1962-67 only 10 teams were recognized. From 1968 -88 AP again resumed its Top 20 before expanding to 25 teams in 1989. Points were awarded based on a team’s finish in the final AP poll each year. Points were awarded on a 20-19-18- 17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis from 1936 to 1988, and a 25-24-23-22-21-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5- 4-3-2-1 basis 1989 to the present.
