Contemporary Sources
[edit]Article should be improved by citations to contemporary reporting on the Dunkel System's picks:
- 1938 "final football ratings" lists TCU, not Tennessee
- 1959 "final ratings" were calculated and published prior to Syracuse's final game! Can't find an updated post-season, pre-bowl ranking. Although Mississippi was again No. 1 in the post-bowl ranking.

Dunkel System → Dunkel Index – Per WP:COMMONNAME and current branding. While historically referred to as a "system" in the 1930s, the founder Dick Dunkel preferred the term "index," and the organization currently operates under the name "The Dunkel Index." Modern reliable sources and the official website (dunkelindex.com) consistently use "Dunkel Index." Hinklehomie (talk) 22:26, 11 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting.
