Rankings from NCAA Division II Football Committee poll

The WFC folded after 1992, in part because of a new National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rule that prohibited member institutions who competed at the NCAA Division I level in other sports to compete at the NCAA Division II level in football. Four WFC members—Cal State Northridge, Sacramento State, Cal Poly, andSouthern Utah—joined with UC Davis as charter members of the Division-I American West Conference in 1993.
