2246:"Five great teams—Cornell, Penn State, Centre, Iowa and California—shared the spotlight, three of them because of startling upsets. It was clear, however, that Cornell had the best claim on the national crown. There were those in the east who felt Penn State had a better team in that sector than did Cornell, however. Centre College could easily claim the championship of Dixie and but for an unexpected 14–22 loss to the Texas Aggies might have taken in more territory. Iowa put in a bid for national recognition when the Hawkeyes not only extended their own winning streak to 10 games but ended Notre Dame's chain at 20 with an earned 10–7 victory. As champions of the Midwest and Western Conference title holders, the Hawkeyes had the right to put in a claim for the U.S. crown. As defending champ, the Bear claims made plenty of sense . . . that is, until after the Rose Bowl clash with Washington & Jefferson, which ended in a scoreless tie."
2517:"After predicting for more than a decade that some year would come along when there would be no outstanding team, I watched 1936 and saw it happen. At the end of the year there was not ONE major team with an undefeated, untied record and it was anyone's guess as to which eleven was the national champion. After the bowl games, the strongest case could be made for Pittsburgh. After the end of the regular season, my ratings placed Louisiana State on top, closely followed by Pittsburgh and Alabama. Results of the Sugar Bowl and Rose Bowl games reversed that 1–2 order. It was the manner in which Jock Sutherland's team rolled over the Huskies that changed my final rankings; that and the defeat of LSU by Santa Clara in the Sugar Bowl."
2564:"Tulane was the national champion at the end of the regular season, closely followed by Cornell and the Texas Aggies. After Tulane was defeated, 14–13, by the Aggies in the Sugar Bowl the ratings were quite different and the Lone Star outfit moved into first place. To show how the bowl games affected the final ratings for 1939, here are the before and after lists of the top ten: Before: 1. Tulane 2. Cornell 3. Texas A & M After: 1. Texas A & M 2. Tulane It was quite apparent that the big bowls were helping to name the top teams and the true national champion."
2361:"The year 1932 will always remain firmly fixed in my memory for a very personal reason. It was the season when the Deke Houlgate System for determining the national championship was first given national recognition. ... Sports columnist George T. Davis of the Los Angeles Herald & Express was the first to study my system and give his approval. Others quickly joined me in challenging the findings of the Illinois professor. ... Since 1932, my weekly ratings, regular season and post-season, finals have been featured in newspapers throughout the nation."
2352:"Notre Dame rebounded to the front and on the basis of regular season play was national champion with 9 straight wins and points of 145 to 38. SC, although upset by California in midseason and nosed out by Notre Dame near the end of the campaign, came fast to finish first when all of the returns were in, winning 10 of 12 battles including a great 47 to 14 victory over Pittsburgh in the Rose Bowl. There were many who disputed the 1-2 ranking of Southern Cal and Notre Dame. There were even many midwestern fans who placed Purdue ahead of both."
2691:"Notre Dame or Michigan? That was the burning question at the end of the regular season. After the Wolverines had won from Southern California in the Rose Bowl there was little doubt that Fritz Chrisler's last team at Ann Arbor was best in the nation. Having been voted by a majority of the sports writers the Number One team, the Irish and various wire services chose to ignore the implications of Michigan's final victory. Not so the fans who kept the argument burning far into the spring."
2640:"There was not a dissenting voice to the naming of the Military Academy as 1944's national champion and this came at the end of a season when the Big Ten put forth a real sectional champ in Ohio State So completely did Army dominate the game in winning nine while scoring 504 points to 35 that our calculations gave the eleven a ranking score exceeded only by the 1930 Notre Dame team which played one more game. Ohio State's Buckeyes were just as pronounced as runner-ups."
2573:"Down to the wire, lengths ahead, as national champions came the Golden Gophers with a perfect season of 8 games. The record was far better than those hung up by Tennessee, Mississippi State, Stanford and Boston College. The could not catch Minnesota even after results of the various bowl games trickled in. Here is how the bowl games changed the final ratings for 1940: 1. Minnesota, 2. Tennessee | 1. Minnesota, 2. Stanford "
2631:"The national championship became the exclusive property of Notre Dame after a ten game schedule. In the win column the Irish listed victories over Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Navy, Army, Northwestern and Iowa Pre-Flight before losing 14–19 in the finale to Great Lakes Navy. Since the last named foe was only the best service team of the year, this was truly Game-of-The-Year."
2622:"Having taken up duties as an officer in the Army Air Forces, I was hardly in a position to rate the major teams of the nation, week-by-week. Going back to the seasons of 1942, '43, '44 and '45 may be unfair to some teams but this is how they would have lined up after the various bowl games. 1. Georgia, 9–0 winner over UCLA in the Rose Bowl. 2. Ohio State, defeated only by Wisconsin in 10 games."
2087:"Pennsylvania was generally regarded as the national champion with 12 straight victories and 222 points to 4, although many considered Michigan a better team with 10 wins and a much better scoring record, 567 to 22. This perfect season for the Gophers gave them a conference co-championship with Michigan which influenced many of the Eastern writers to name Penn the national titlist [
2255:"Unchallenged champion of the USA was California which finished its third year without defeat. Winning all nine and scoring 398 points to 34, the Golden Bears appear to have shaded Cornell, also undefeated and untied, with an 8–0–0 record based on 339 points to 37. The myth presisted, however, that eastern superiority still was an important factor in the selection of the national champion."
2219:"Pittsburgh was easily the outstanding team of the season. Glenn Warner's great team defeated all collegiate foes, running its consecutive win streak to 33 games before dropping a game to Great Lakes Navy, 9–10. At the time, Great Lakes was described as the most powerful collection of stars ever assembled. Pitt's most impressive victory was a 32–0 win over Georgia Tech."
2334:"While far from being an expert, this was the year when I began to experiment with what has become known as The DEKE HOULGATE SYSTEM of rating major elevens. The system had several obvious flaws in the early years but was better than the guess-work that went on in the past; it placed Notre Dame on top; and it avoided claims of sectional superiority."
2427:"Southern Methodist clearly won the national championship and retained it even after tasting defeat in the Rose Bowl, incidentally a thirteenth game. Stanford's 7–0 victory over the Mustangs was not quite enough to drop SMU out of first place but did serve to prove that sectional superiority was to be found for the moment in the southwest and west."
2192:"Cornell with a brilliant undefeated and untied season of nine games and points of 287 to 50, won the national title by acclaim. Doubts were created, however, that Eastern teams played a superior type of football by Washington State's impressive victory over Brown . . . perhaps not the best team in the East but surely a very good one."
2857:"Deke Houlgate's Ratings, including Bowl Games, for 1957: 1. Alabama Poly 2. Navy 3. Ohio State Alabama Poly proved itself to be the 1957 national champion even without a win in a post season game. Auburn was closely followed by Navy, Ohio State and Oklahoma, all three of the latter improving their ratings by wins in major bowls."
2682:"Second biggest controversy of the year was over claims of Army and Notre Dame to the national championship. Our calculations gave the title to the Cadets by a thin edge of having played one more game than did the Irish. Based on logic and statistics, then, it was Army as number one and Notre Dame in second place."

2734:"Southern California handed Michigan a national championship on a platter by tying Notre Dame in the final game for both Irish and Trojans. Until that happened it was the same controversy that boiled over at the end of the 1947 season. The Irish did, however, manage to salvage second place."
2069:"Although Michigan again was undefeated and untied with 644 points to 12 in 11 games, most Eastern authorities rated Yale—tied by Army—ahead of the Wolverines, believing the best football was played that year along the Atlantic. Such a belief has never been shared by this writer."
2228:"The brilliant rise of Centre College produced nine straight wins with point totals of 485 to 23. This was not enough, in the estimation of most experts, to give the 'Praying Colonels' a national title ahead of Harvard, but it did gain them a place on the 1920 Crimson schedule."
2526:"Pittsburgh was back to doing business at the same old stand as national champion when the 1937 season finally folded. Even the results from a rash of bowl games, in none of which Pitt played, failed to dislodge the Panthers. Runner-up California was not even close."
2343:"There where two national champions. Southern California was the top team on the basis of regular season play but was edged out by Georgia Tech when the champs of Dixie finished out a perfected season of ten games by defeating California, 8–7, in the Rose Bowl."
90:, on July 31, 1959, at age 54. Houlgate's wife, Dorothy P. Houlgate, was considered "one of the leading feminine football experts" and assisted with the annual football ratings; she died in August 1959, less than a month after the death of her husband.
2282:"Again the national championship was clear-cut. It was Alabama before and after the Rose Bowl game. 'Bama, under Wallace Wade, won all 10 of its games, including a super-thriller from Washington in Pasadena, 20–19, and had a point record of 298 to 26."
2866:"Deke Houlgate's Ratings, including Bowl Games — 1958 Season: 1. Louisiana State 2. Army 3. Iowa Before the season started, Louisiana State (our National champion) was looked upon as the favorite in its section of the Southeastern Conference."

2183:"Harvard continued its unbeaten ways but lost the national title to Army when the Crimson was held to ties with Brown and Penn State. The Cadets won all nine of their games and chalked up point totals of 219 to 20."
2237:"This should also be regarded as the season when fans began to take seriously the awarding of unofficial national championships. After its January 1st win, California was generally conceded the title."
2649:"No one disputed Army's claim to the national title but the fight for second was unusually keen between Alabama, Oklahoma A & M and Indiana. Some ratings even gave that spot to Navy."
