College Football Playoff is a consortium of conferences that together crown a champion following a playoff they operate themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So two national championships and the NCAA can put both on the website. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/college-football-national-championship-history%3famp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincySportsFan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 So, apparently what is trying to be pulled off is to get 6 of the Big Ten teams to play each other in a home/away 10 game schedule. Ohio State seems to be leading the charge. Evidently Penn State, Nebraska and Iowa are supposedly "in" on it, so they've got 4 right now. Seems like they're still trying to get Wisconsin and Michigan to come on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming they have a website that shows past champions because all winners are members of the NCAA. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is ran by the conferences; the BCS was run by the conferences. Prior to 1998, champions were awarded by the AP, UPI, and other news agencies. At no point in the history of college football has the NCAA crowned a champion or awarded a trophy for a Division I football champion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football_national_championships_in_NCAA_Division_I_FBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA has never crowned a football national champion so it doesn’t really matter. The championships have always been decided by a 3rd party whether it be the Playoff, BCS, or Polls. The only thing the NCAA has control over is eligibility of players competing in games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New coach. New QB. Couple rough years in a row. School under fire for multiple scandals recently. I’m sure MSU was very happy to take a year off of football and regroup.

It’s a mess up there, very reminiscent of Stoops taking over for Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Sparty has hit rock bottom yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doors will be opened tomorrow, still not sure he can pull it off. Looks like the Big 10 reaffirmed their decision...no fall football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
