Writing for Outing, alongside his All-America Eleven for 1902, Caspar Whitney ranked the top twenty-eight teams in the country at the conclusion of the season.

Whitney is designated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a "major selector" of national championships, and his contemporary rankings in Outing for 1905–1907 are included in the NCAA college football records book.

The Sun
In December 1902, New York City newspaper The Sun published a ranking of football teams.
