College Football Researchers Association

The College Football Researchers Association (CFRA) was founded in 1982 by Anthony Cusher of Reeder, North Dakota, and Robert Kirlin of Spokane, Washington. The CFRA took a vote of its members from 1982 to 1992 to select an annual college football national champion. Members were asked to rank the top 10 teams, and a point system was used to determine a national champion based on the members' votes. The CFRA also conducted a retroactive poll to determine historical national champions for each year from 1919 to 1981. The CFRA is recognized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a major selector of college football national champions, and the CFRA selections are included in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision record book.[1]
