No. 24 (tie) Clemson (7)Championships -- 1981.Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Dec. 6, 2015.Longest run at No. 1 -- Five straight polls, Nov. 8, 2015-Dec. 6, 2015.Best decade -- 2010s, five times.Best No. 1 team -- 1981.Russos reasoning: Clemsons first and only championship team ranks among one of the more surprising titles in the poll era. The Tigers were unranked to start the season, made some big jumps to get into the top five and then took the No. 1 ranking and unbeaten record into the Orange Bowl against Nebraska. Quarterback Homer Jordan led coach Danny Fords team to a 22-15 victory that still stands as the greatest in program history.---No. 24 (tie) Colorado (7)Championships -- One (1990).Most recent No. 1 ranking -- 1990 final.Longest run at No. 1 -- Four straight polls, Nov. 20, 1990-1990 finalBest decade -- 1990s, four times.Best No. 1 team -- 1990.Russos reasoning: The championship was controversial. The 1990 team benefited from the infamous fifth down game, during which the Buffaloes scored the winning touchdown on a mistakenly given fifth down against Missouri. And a clipping penalty against Notre Dame on Raghib Ismails fourth-quarter punt return for a touchdown helped them win the Orange Bowl. The coaches poll crowned Georgia Tech its champion. There was no doubting, though, that coach Bill McCartneys team was loaded with players including running back Eric Bienemy and linebacker Chad Brown and can comfortably be called the best No. 1 in school history.---No. 24 (tie) Syracuse (7)Championships -- One (1959).Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Oct. 3, 1960.Longest run at No. 1 -- Five straight polls, Nov. 9, 1959-1959 final.Best decade -- 1950s, five times.Best No. 1 team -- 1959.Russos reasoning: Led by Ernie Davis, who went on to win the 1961 Heisman Trophy, the then-Orangemen went undefeated behind coach Ben Schwartzwalder.

Because the Bruins played in the Rose Bowl the previous season, the Trojans got to go after the 1954 season, which helps explain why the AP wasnt doing a poll after the postseason in those days---No. 28 Texas A&M (6 1/2)Championships -- One (1939).Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Nov. 11, 1957.Longest run at No. 1 -- Four straight polls, Nov. 11, 1939-1939 final.Best decade -- 1950s, 3 1/2 times.Best No. 1 team -- 1939.Russos reasoning: Coach Homer Nortons Aggies rolled through the Southwest Conference, allowing only eight points in six games. The final No. 1 ranking came before they beat No. 5 Tulane 14-13 in the Sugar Bowl to finish 11-0.---No. 29 Maryland (6)Championships -- One (1953).Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Oct. 31, 1955.Longest run at No. 1 -- Two straight polls twice (1953, 1955).Best decade -- 1950s, six times.Best No. 1 team -- 1953.Russos reasoning: The Terrapins had six shutouts in an undefeated regular season that ended with victories against Mississippi and Alabama by a combined 59-0. Coach Jim Tatums team did lose the Orange Bowl to coach Bud Wilkinson and Oklahoma, 7-0.---No. 30 (tie) Mississippi (5)Championships -- None.Most recent No. 1 ranking -- 1964 preseason.Longest run at No. 1 -- Two straight polls, Sept. 19, 1960-Sept. 24, 1960.Best decade -- 1960s, five times.Best No. 1 team -- 1960.Russos reasoning: Coach John Vaught reigned over the most successful era of Ole Miss football and the 1960 team stands as the best of the bunch. Quarterback Jake Gibbs and the Rebels had three weeks at No. 1 and only a 6-6 tie against LSU kept Ole Miss from going unbeaten. The Rebels finished No. 2 in the country.---No. 30 (tie) Mississippi State (5)Championships -- None.Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Nov. 9, 2014.Longest run at No. 1 -- Five straight polls, Oct. 12, 2014-Nov. 9, 2014.Best decade -- 2010s, five times.No. 1 team -- 2014.Mississippi State had never been ranked higher than No. 7 before the Bulldogs surged to the top of the AP poll in 2014 and stayed there for five weeks.

Purdue won a 1 vs. 2 matchup against Notre Dame in September and running back Leroy Keyes went on to finish second to O.J. Simpson in the Heisman voting, but the Boilermakers lost at Ohio State and Minnesota to finish 8-2.---No. 34 (tie) California (4)Championships -- None.Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Oct. 15, 1951.Longest run at No. 1 -- Three straight polls, Oct. 18, 1937-Nov. 1, 1937.Best decade -- 1930s, three times.Best No. 1 team -- 1937.Russos reasoning: The Golden Bears under coach Stub Allison were either No. 1 or No. 2 all season, with only a scoreless tie against Washington blemishing their record.

The only ranked team BYU beat was in its opener against No. 3 Pitt, but the Panthers finished 3-7-1. A hobbled quarterback Robbie Bosco led the Cougars to a 24-17 victory in the Holiday Bowl against Michigan (6-6) to cap a 13-0 season.---No. 37 Virginia (3)Championships -- None.Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Oct. 30, 1990.Longest run at No. 1 -- Three straight polls, Oct. 16, 1990-Oct. 30, 1990.No. 1 team -- 1990.The Moores (quarterback Shawn and receiver Herman) had the Cavaliers No. 1 in the country when they lost a thriller 41-38 to Georgia Tech, which went on to an unbeaten season.
