The College Football Championship – a culmination of sweat, strategy, and unwavering team spirit. But how did this iconic event come to be? Let's rewind the clock and explore its history.
Before the BCS and the current College Football Playoff, determining a national champion was a complex and often controversial process. Polls like the AP and Coaches' Poll played a significant role, but often led to split national championships. The BCS, introduced in 1998, aimed to create a more definitive champion by matching the top two teams in a bowl game.
Today, the College Football Playoff, established in 2014, pits the top four teams against each other in a semi-final and championship game. This system has arguably provided a fairer and more exciting conclusion to the college football season. From the early days of poll-decided champions to the modern playoff era, the quest for college football supremacy has always captivated fans nationwide. Each championship game adds another chapter to the rich tapestry of college football history, etching the names of legendary teams and players into the annals of the sport.
