We've never had a "National" Champion in CFB. A lot of great teams. But like the Heisman, we've had "the most hyped team be champion for that year." We've had the "fans claim National champion" - the sportswriters claim "National champion" - the ESPN first take National Champion...some "computer in Omaha National Champion" - Team that gets the most publicity and therefore the most votes "National Champion."




that is my biggest beef with College Football. I mean I still love it but in recent years I've been irritated at the selection process. It feels like a popularity contest most of the time.

I get it.

but I don't always agree with it.

its been hit and miss but I'd agree that a single game doesn't always determine who the better team is.

I still feel like the Bills were the better team in 1990 but that the Giants were better coached in preparation for that game. The Bills had beaten the Giants earlier that year so its not a stretch to say it.

Phil Simms and Jim Kelly got hurt in that game too (regular season).

And that beef will never change so long as there are 120+ teams playing the sport in a single division. You can't have a "TRUE" champion because of the nature of the sport, the amount of teams involved, and the way the conferences are set up. It's just not possible.
