Most Dominant National Champions Since 1912

Comparing individual teams across eras is extremely difficult. These rankings, consisting only of national champions as recognized by this system, reflect dominance over a given year: what did a given team accomplish on the field (its rating score, weighted 1/3), and the rating score margin that separated the national champion from the second ranked team in its given year (2/3).
