Rankings

Main article: 1967 NCAA College Division football rankings

College Division teams (also referred to as "small college") were ranked in polls by the AP (a panel of writers) and by UPI (coaches). The national champion(s) for each season were determined by the final poll rankings, published at or near the end of the regular season, before any bowl games were played.

College Division final polls

In 1967, both services ranked San Diego State first and North Dakota State second. San Diego State later defeated San Francisco State 34–6 in the Camellia Bowl, ^[1] while North Dakota State later lost to Texas–Arlington in the Pecan Bowl, 13–0. ^{[2] [3]}

Bowl games

The postseason consisted of four bowl games as regional finals; Mideast and West played on December 9, while East and Midwest played on December 16.

Bowl	Region	Location	Winning team		Losing team		Ref
Tangerine	East	Orlando, Florida	Tennessee–Martin	25	West Chester	8

Pecan	Midwest	Abilene, Texas	Texas–Arlington	13	North Dakota State	0
Camellia	West	Sacramento, California	San Diego State	34	San Francisco State	6

In 1968, the Boardwalk Bowl succeeded the Tangerine Bowl, and the Pecan Bowl moved within Texas, from Abilene to Arlington.
