Top D1 Football Schools
NCSA analyzed 265 four-year colleges with college football programs across two NCAA Division 1 sub-divisions (D1-FBS (formerly D1-A), D1-FCS (formerly D1-AA)) to develop a list of the Best Division 1 Football Colleges for Student-Athletes.
NCSA Power Rankings are based on proprietary analysis of “NCSA Favorites” data obtained from the college search activity of the millions of student-athletes on the NCSA recruiting network, U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges general academic rankings, and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard graduation rates and average cost after aid.
For more information on the NCSA Power Rankings, visit our press kit or email us .
