The FWAA-NFF Super 16 Poll was established at the conclusion of the 2013 season. Voters rank the top 16 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and the results are released on Sundays during the college football season. The pollsters consist of FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers. The FWAA-NFF boasts a “balanced-geographical perspective” for the Super 16.
