1981 NCAA Division IA fotbollsranking

Två mänskliga undersökningar bestod av 1981 års fotbollsrankningar för National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA) Division IA . Till skillnad från de flesta sporter, ger collegefotbollens styrande organ, NCAA, inte ett nationellt mästerskap , istället tilldelas den titeln av en eller flera olika röstningsbyråer. Det finns två huvudsakliga veckomröstningar som börjar under försäsongen – AP-undersökningen och Coaches-undersökningen .
