Clasificación de fútbol de la NCAA Division IA ←  1997 1999  →

Dos encuestas humanas y una clasificación de fórmula conforman la clasificación de fútbol de 1998 de la División IA de la NCAA . A diferencia de la mayoría de los deportes , el organismo rector del fútbol americano universitario , la Asociación Atlética Universitaria Nacional (NCAA), no otorga un título de Campeonato Nacional al fútbol de la División I- A. Ese título es otorgado principalmente por diferentes agencias de votación. Hay varias encuestas que existen actualmente. Las principales encuestas semanales son AP Poll y Coaches Poll . La Bowl Championship Series (BCS) La clasificación hizo su debut en 1998 y comenzó a publicarse aproximadamente a la mitad de la temporada.
