Rankings

[edit]

College Division teams (also referred to as "small college") were ranked in polls by the AP (a panel of writers) and by UPI (coaches). The national champion(s) for each season were determined by the final poll rankings, published at or near the end of the regular season, before any bowl games were played.

College Division final polls

[edit]

In 1964, UPI's top ranked team was 9–0 Cal State Los Angeles. 8–0 Wittenberg was top ranked by the AP panel, and second in the UPI poll.

Bowl games

[edit]

The postseason consisted of four bowl games as regional finals, played on December 12.

Bowl Region Location Winning team Losing team Ref
Tangerine East Orlando, Florida East Carolina 14 UMass 13 [4]
Grantland Rice Mideast Murfreesboro, Tennessee Middle Tennessee 20 Muskingum 0 [5]
