The Associated Press college football poll has been around since 1936 and has been widely known as the most accurate and reliable since then until now. The College Football Playoff rankings is the one that matters these days, but the AP Poll is steeped in history.
There are quite a few programs that use the AP poll like a turnstile, entering and exiting in cyclical peaks and valleys. Then there are others that seem to always make an appearance in the poll.
Ohio State is among the latter group, but so are Alabama, Oklahoma, Georgia and several others. But one team has a streak of making an appearance in the AP Poll much longer than any other. You might (or might not) be surprised at which team reigns supreme, but we will not keep you guessing any longer.
Here are the college football programs that have the 10 longest active streaks (seasons) of appearing in the AP college football poll thanks to Fox’s College Football. As usual, we count down to No. 1. Where are THE Ohio State Buckeyes?
