The Williamson System was a mathematical system used to rank college football teams. The system was created by Paul B. Williamson, a geologist and member of the Sugar Bowl committee.[1]

The NCAA college football records book includes the Williamson System as a "major selector" of national championships for the years 1932-1963.[1]

Paul Williamson died in 1955. His son Mitch Williamson subsequently took up his father's syndicated column for the 1955–1963 seasons.[2]
