BCS National Championship Game

From the first two national champions, Rutgers and Princeton, to last year’s debateable Auburn national championship winning team, college football has always had difficulties deciding national champions. The BCS National Championship game was thought to give a less prejudice opinion on which teams play in the championship game than humans did. However, it has stimulated more controversy in college sports than Cal-Stanford “The Play.” The problem with the BCS teams is, it chooses two teams that are

NCAA Football Playoff System Thesis: The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) formula has been used to determine the top twenty-five teams in NCAA Division I college since 1998. Many think this system is inadequate and should be changed. The alternative is a playoff system that would give more of the top teams a chance to be named the NCAA football National Champion.

The Bowl Championship Series should be replaced by a regular playoff system. The Bowl Championship Series is where the top 10 BCS-ranked college football teams play each other. The top two ranked teams play in the championship game and the other eight play in four Bowl games. The playoff system is the best way to get a true champion without the subjective and profit-motivated system of the Bowl Championship Series that sometimes leaves the best teams out of the championship game. College football

supplanted the BCS format and one thing is certain — The Playoff is working. Yes, No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama were the last two teams standing this season — And yes, both teams won their semifinal matchups in convincing fashion — But let’s not forget about last year’s CFP where the No. 4 seed Ohio State Buckeyes had a “Cinderella”-type ending to their season after taking down No. 1 Alabama, followed by a 22-point victory over the Oregon Ducks in the College Football Playoff National Championship game

had a great season and you’ve only lost 1 game and won your division. However, you lose your spot in the playoff to another team that was undefeated. How would this make you feel? The BCS should be replaced with a playoff system in College Football. Replacing the BCS with a playoff system would give each of the eleven conferences (and the FBS Independents) an equal opportunity to compete for the national championship. Most teams are left out of the BCS due to 1 loss, even though they might’ve had

Southeastern Conference title game and jumped ahead of number two Michigan who didn’t play that week. In 2004 an undefeated Auburn Tigers team was not able to able to play for the National Championship because they started out at a ranking of 17 in the beginning of the season and were not able to jump ahead of USC or Oklahoma since they went undefeated as well. Critics argue that if the change was made to have a playoff the BCS rankings will not by having a playoff system the BCS rankings will not be ignored

Football is a game that has a major impact on the fans, cities, and history of multiple teams and organizations. Many can connect to the game on an emotional basis and that is why football is such a popular sport today. There have been a lot of people that have contributed to this sport from the beginning to today’s time. They have helped create a basis for the game (rules, field length, field goal size, etc.), decide how to crown a champion, and start organizations to help athletes. There have also

It is mid-February and for college athletes and fans everywhere that means that the College Football “Bowl” season is over and “March Madness” is around the corner. The “Bowl” Season is a series of college football games from the elite teams, sponsored by various corporations and “March Madness” is a 68 team single elimination tournament to decide who the best team in college basketball is. For the students involved they get a chance to have their legacy live on forever and for some it is a chance

The crowd at the University of Phoenix stadium grew antsy as Cam Newton took the snap from shot gun and handed the ball off to University of Auburn running back Michael Dyer. Dyer tucked the hand off into his right hand, shuffled right to avoid his blocking lineman, and lunged past a University of Oregon defender just as he was being wrapped up by another Oregon linebacker. The linebacker spun Dyer in an attempt to wrestle him to the ground but somehow, in a feat of extreme effort, balance, and body

As writer Jon Saraceno would say, “The NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association] is a tax-exempt organization that operates as a monopoly, its rulebook denser than the New Testament” (Saraceno 38). He explains that the NCAA has various rules, and coaches and players do not know what is right or wrong. Others view that athletes are already receiving pay with scholarships. Athletes in higher revenue generating sports, comparable to basketball and football, are usually more likely to earn a
