Litkenhous Ratings

The Litkenhous Difference by Score Ratings system was a mathematical system used to rank football and basketball teams.[1][2][3] The Litrating system was developed by Vanderbilt University professor Edward E. Litkenhous (1907 – December 22, 1984)[2] and his brother, Francis H. Litkenhous (December 9, 1912 – June 22, 1996).[1][4]

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) football records book includes the Litkenhous Ratings as a "major selector" of college football national championships for the seasons 1934 through 1984.[4]

Teams in the following table were ranked No. 1 by the Litkenhous Difference by Score Ratings system.[6][7]

The NCAA records book credits Litkenhous as a "major selector" for the seasons 1934 through 1984, and credits the system with 51 total rankings.[4] However no selections are listed in the NCAA records book for six seasons: 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1979, and 1980.[4]

Litkenhous trophy

The No. 1 team in the year's final ranking was awarded the Litkenhous Ratings Championship trophy.[5][10] The traveling trophy took the form of a huge wooden plaque and bronze mural by artist Marion Junkin.[26][5]

The trophy plaque is engraved with the winners for 1934–1962. Ole Miss was evidently the last Litkenhous champion to receive the trophy; the trophy is still held today at the University of Mississippi.[5]
