The 1900 college football season rankings included a ranking by New York City newspaper The Sun.[1][2]
In December 1900, New York City newspaper The Sun published a top-five ranking of the big Eastern elevens.[1]
| Rank | Team[1] | Record |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yale | 12–0 |
| 2 | Harvard | 10–1 |
| 3 | Penn | 12–1 |
| 4 | Columbia | 7–3–1 |
| 5 | Lafayette | 9–2 |
The football season just closed, while it produced a definite championship eleven in Yale [...] If there could be an official rating now of the leading elevens it would be a case of Yale in first honors without a dispute, for the New Haven eleven beat all comers with comparative ease, as shown by the unusually large scores.
Polls and systems to determine the No. 1 team are not nearly so ancient as the mere naming of the "intercollegiate champion" by a Casper Whitney or a J. Parmly Paret.
