1965 NCAA College Division football rankings
The 1965 NCAA College Division football rankings are from the United Press International poll of College Division head coaches and from the Associated Press. The 1965 NCAA College Division football season was the eighth year UPI published a Coaches Poll in what was termed the "Small College" division. It was the sixth year for the AP version of the poll.
