Does anyone know where I could access old top 25 polls for D3 football? I can't find any archives on AFCAs website and D3football.com only goes back to 2003. Any other publications or services I should look at?

Our poll started in 2003, and the AFCA started its poll in 1999. Before that, I would say there weren't any accepted standards -- no coaches poll, no "media" poll. A couple of one-off publications did rankings (one person's opinion) or polls (multiple people voting) before then, but I don't know of an archive or who would even be considered credible.

Wow, good to know Pat. I am pretty surprised that no one was doing top 25s before the 2000s, but I guess it makes sense in how regional D3 football was until the widespread use of the web. Thanks for the heads up. I am doing some updates to D3 seasons on wikipedia a, trying to add as much information as possible.
