1966 small college football rankings

The 1966 small college football rankings are rankings of college football teams representing smaller college and university teams during the 1966 college football season, including the 1966 NCAA College Division football season and the 1966 NAIA football season. Separate rankings were published by the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press International (UPI). The AP rankings were selected by a board of sports writers, and the UPI rankings were selected by a board of small-college coaches.

The 1966 San Diego State Aztecs football team (11–0), led by head coach Don Coryell and defensive coordinator John Madden, was rated as the small-college champion by both the AP and UPI. Tennessee State (9–0) was ranked No. 2 by the AP and No. 3 by the UPI.
