Association of College Football Fans explained

The Association of College Football Fans was an organization that produced a weekly ranking of the top 20 NCAA college football teams based on a poll of its dues-paying members.[1] The ACFF was started in 1992 by Don Harris of Nashville, Tennessee, who was dissatisfied with 1991's split national championship between Miami and Washington.[1] The organization was started to give fans a voice in the selection of the college football national champion.[1]

The No. 1 team in the organization's final poll was its college football national champion and was awarded the ACFF Trophy.
