Three small-college teams finished the 1960 season with perfect 10–0 records: the Ohio Bobcats, the Lenoir Rhyne Bears and the Humboldt State Lumberjacks. In their final vote, the AP board members selected Ohio as the small-college champion, based on its tougher strength of schedule. Lenoir Rhyne and Humboldt State finished second and third, respectively, in the AP rnakings. [1]

The UPI board of coaches also selected Ohio as the small-college champion with first-place votes from 28 of the participating coaches. The UPI ranked Bowling Green second with its sole setback having been in a close loss to Ohio. [2]
