FOOTBALL BOWL SUBDIVISION

RECORDS

Individual Records 2

INDIVIDUAL RECORDSUnder a three-division reorganization plan adopted by the special NCAA Convention of August 1973, teams classified major-college in football on August 1, 1973, were placed in Division I. College-division teams were divided into Division II and Division III. At the NCAA Convention of January 1978, Division I was divided into Division I-A and Division I-AA for football only (In 2006, I-A was renamed Football Bowl Subdivision, and I-AA was renamed Football Championship Subdivision.). Before 2002, postseason games were not included in NCAA final football statistics or records. Beginning with the 2002 season, all postseason games were included in NCAA final football statistics and records.From 1937, when official national statistics rankings began, through 1969, individual rankings were by totals. Beginning in 1970, most season individual rankings were by per-game averages. In total offense, rushing and scoring, it is yards or points per game; in receiving, catches per game and yards per game; in interceptions, catches per game; and in punt and kickoff returns, yards per return. Punting always has been by average, and all team rankings have been per game. Beginning in 1979, passers were rated in all divisions on “pass efficiency rating points,” which are derived from a formula that compares passers to the national averages for 14 seasons of two-platoon Division I football starting with the 1965 season. One hundred points equals the 14-year averages for all players in Division I. Those averages break down to 6.29 yards per attempt, 47.14 percent completions, 3.97 percent touchdown passes and 6.54 percent interceptions. The formula assumes that touchdowns are as good as interceptions are bad; therefore, these two figures offset each other for the average player. To determine efficiency rating points, multiply a passer’s yards per attempt by 8.4, add his completion percentage, add his touchdown percentage times 3.3, then subtract his interception per-centage times two.Passers must have a minimum of 15 attempts per game to determine rating points because fewer attempts could allow a player to win the championship with fewer than 100 attempts in a season. A passer must play in at least 75 percent of his team’s games to qualify for the rankings (for example, a player on a team with a nine-game season could qualify by playing in seven games); thus, a passer with 105 attempts could qualify for the national rankings.A pass efficiency rating comparison for each year since 1979 has been added to the passing section of all-time leaders to compare that season’s passers with the average rating for all passers during that year.For records by position, such as yards rushing by a quarterback or receiv-ing yards by a tight end, a student-athlete must have played at least half his games in a season at that position in order to be considered for a season record. Only the seasons he qualified in will be considered for a career record.In 2000, defensive stats became a part of the statistics. Individual and team records and rankings included only regular-season games through the 2001 season. Beginning in 2002, all individual and team records included postsea-son games. Career records of players include only those years in which they competed in the FBS.Statistics in some team categories were not tabulated until the advent of the computerized statistics program in 1966. The records listed in those catego-ries begin with the 1966 season and are so indicated.Some players in career categories have five seasons listed because they were granted an additional season of competition for reasons of hardship or a freshman redshirt.

COLLEGIATE RECORDSIndividual and team collegiate records are determined by comparing the best records in all four divisions (FBS, FCS, II and III) in comparable categories. Included are career records of players who played parts of their careers in dif-ferent divisions (such as Dennis Shaw of San Diego State, Howard Stevens of Randolph-Macon and Louisville, and Doug Williams of Grambling). For individual collegiate career leaders and team records, see the collegiate records section.

NCAA DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL STATISTICS COMPILATION POLICIESAll individual defensive statistics reported to the NCAA must be compiled by the press box statistics crew during the game. Defensive numbers compiled by the coaching staff or other university/college personnel using game film will not be considered “official” NCAA statistics.This policy does not preclude a conference or institution from making after-

the-game changes to press box numbers. This is consistent with existing NCAA policies involving corrections to any offensive statistics after a contest. Any changes to press box numbers must be obvious errors, such as misiden-tified players, and this should not be interpreted as a way for press box sta-tistics to be later “updated” by the coaching films. Changes should be made within one week after the game is played. Statisticians also are reminded that NCAA policy does not permit changes to away-game statistics unless approved by the home sports information director.It is important to note that this policy applies ONLY to official NCAA statistics and national rankings, and does not mean a coaching staff cannot compile separate defensive statistics for institutional use. Those compilations also could appear in the institution’s press releases and/or website, as long as they are identified as coaching film numbers rather than official statistics as used by the NCAA.The NCAA statistics staff reserves the right to review any statistics provided to the national office and may withhold publishing/posting those numbers until the accuracy of those statistics can be substantiated.

FBS Passing Efficiency Rating ComparisonPassing statistics in the FBS have increased dramatically since 1979, the first year that the NCAA official national statistics used the passing efficiency formula to rank passers in all divisions. Because passers have become more proficient every year, the average passing efficiency rating (based on final regular-season trends) also has risen at a similar rate. For historical purposes, the average passing efficiency rating for the division by year is presented below to show how any individual or team might rank in a particular season.

% In many seasons during 1946-64, only a few passers threw as many as 15 passes per game; thus, a lower minimum was used.The annual passing champion was changed from total completions to completions per game in 1970, and then to passing efficiency champion in 1979. The passing efficiency champion from the previous list continues on this next list in 1979.

BLOCKED-KICK RECORDSSpecial note about blocked-kick records:The blocked-kick records include players from 1937. Even though the other defensive statistics and records began in 2000, blocked-kick records are com-piled by most institutions, and those records are more reliable than tackles, assists, tackles for loss, pass sacks, passes defended and forced fumbles. The statistics service has been compiling national statistics and records since 1937.

Developed by Bob Alderson of Muldrow, Oklahoma. Anderson and Hester (1997-present), a mathe-matical rating system developed by Jeff Anderson and Chris Hester. Published weekly in The Seattle Times.Associated Press (1936-present), the first major nationwide poll for ranking college football teams was voted on by sportswriters and broadcasters. It continues to this day and is probably the most well-known and widely circulated among all of his-tory’s polls. The Associated Press annual national champions were awarded the Williams Trophy and the Reverend J. Hugh O’Donnell Trophy. In 1947, Notre Dame retired the Williams Trophy (named after Henry L. Williams, Minnesota coach, and sponsored by the M Club of Minnesota). In 1956, Oklahoma retired the O’Donnell Trophy (named for Notre Dame’s president and sponsored by Notre Dame alumni). Beginning with the 1957 sea-son, the award was known as the AP Trophy, and since 1983, has been known as the Paul “Bear” Bryant Trophy.Berryman (QPRS) (1990-2011), a mathemati-cal rating system based on a quality point rating formula developed by Clyde P. Berryman. It took into account a team’s schedule strength, won-lost record, points scored and points allowed. Predated national champions from 1920 to 1989.Billingsley Report (1970-present), a mathemati-cally based power rating system developed by Richard Billingsley of Hugo, Oklahoma. The main feature of his system is the inclusion of a unique rule for head-to-head competition, with the overall system consisting of a balanced approach to wins, losses, strength of schedule, and home-field advantage. A slight weight is given to most recent performance. The Billingsley formula does not use margin of victory; however, the Billingsley MOV formula does include margin of victory in the calculations.Boand System (1930-60), known as the Azzi Ratem System developed by William Boand of Tucson, Arizona.

^From 1998-2013, the BCS was used to determine national champions in FBS. All “major selectors” not otherwise listed also selected the BCS champion as its higest ranked team in those seasons. In years where a “major selector” had a team other than the BCS champion as highest ranked team in its final poll that team is listed below the BCS Champion.+Beginning in 2014, the College Football Playoff was used to determine national cham-pions in FBS. All “major selectors” not other-wise listed also selected the CFP champion as its higest ranked team in those seasons. In years where a “major selector” had a team other than the CFP champion as highest ranked team in its final poll that team is listed below the CFP Champion.Note: The Associated Press has been the des-ignated media poll since 1936. United Press International served as the coaches’ poll from 1950 to 1991 when it was taken over by USA Today/Cable News Network and in 1997 became

*On January 6, 1948, in a special postseason poll after the Rose Bowl, The Associated Press voted Michigan No. 1 and Notre Dame No. 2. However, the postseason poll did not supersede the final regular-season poll of December 9, 1947. †A first-place tie occurred on October 20, 1992, in The Associated Press poll for the first time in 51 years, but Miami (FL) had one more first-place vote, 31-30, than Washington.

A YEAR-BY-YEAR HISTORY OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL

1936—The Associated Press Poll began with sports editors of AP news-papers voting for the top 20 teams nationally. Minnesota and Northwestern each had 7-1 records and, even though Northwestern whipped the Golden Gophers in the regular season, Minnesota was named No. 1 in the final poll.1937—California began with a 5-0 record and was ranked No. 1 in the first three polls, but Jock Sutherland’s Pittsburgh Panthers took over the lead in November and finished 9-0-1 and No. 1.1938—Previous year’s AP leader Pittsburgh was ranked No. 1 to begin the season, but Dutch Meyer’s TCU Horned Frogs, behind legendary QB Davey O’Brien, posted an undefeated 10-0 regular season for the poll championship.1939—Pittsburgh and Tennessee, two powerhouses, exchanged the No. 1 spot in the poll until Homer Norton’s Texas A&M Aggies, behind big fullback John Kimbrough, took over the top spot late and finished 10-0 in the regular season for the mythical AP title.1940—Eastern power Cornell led for the first four weeks until eventual cham-pion Minnesota, behind coach Bernie Bierman and All-Americans George Franck and Urban Odson, finished No. 1. It was the second of three national poll champions for Bierman.1941—Minnesota made it two in row behind Heisman Trophy winner Bruce Smith as the Gophers posted a perfect 8-0 record.1942—Ohio State started the season as the No. 1 team until a midseason loss dropped the Buckeyes back into the pack. Georgia and Boston College shared the No. 1 spot until the last week, when Ohio State, behind legendary coach Paul Brown, finished as the top team.1943—Notre Dame led wire-to-wire, the first time a team had led every week since the poll originated in 1936. Coach Frank Leahy, in only his third year, had plenty of tools to work with, including backs Angelo Bertelli (Heisman Trophy winner and consensus All-American) and Creighton Miller (fourth in the Heisman voting and consensus All-American). The line was loaded also with end John Yonaker, tackle Jim White and guard Pat Filley, all consensus All-Americans.1944—Notre Dame started off the year as the No. 1 team, but Red Blaik’s Army West Point team, behind consensus All-Americans Doc Blanchard (Mr. Inside) and Glenn Davis (Mr. Outside), rolled to an undefeated season and the first of two consecutive No. 1 finishes.1945—During the last year of World War II, no team more personified America’s determination than Army West Point, which ran the table again behind Blanchard and Davis, and consensus All-America linemen John Green and Tex Coulter. The Cadets posted a perfect 9-0 record, but service academies did not participate in bowl games then.1946—This was a pivotal year for the AP poll in that Army West Point was expected to sweep to the No. 1 spot easily, again behind Blanchard and Davis. During the season, Army West Point finished 9-0-1, highlighted by a 0-0 tie at Yankee Stadium against Johnny Lujack-led Notre Dame (8-0-1) in the “Game of the Decade.” However, Army West Point barely beat an outclassed Navy team in its final game, and the voters selected Notre Dame No. 1.1947—Notre Dame and Michigan alternated Nos. 1 and 2 slots through-out the year with Notre Dame getting the final regular-season nod, even though both teams were 9-0. In the ensuing bowl game, Michigan rolled over Southern California, 49-0. The public demanded that the voters release another post-bowl poll and the Wolverines won easily. AP decided, however, that the postseason poll did not supercede the final regular-season poll of December 6, 1947. 1948—Defending champion Notre Dame alternated with North Carolina and Michigan as No. 1 in the first few polls, but the Wolverines took over in November and raced to a 9-0 record and a poll championship in coach Bennie Oosterbaan’s first year as a head coach.1949—Michigan was No. 1 the first week before Notre Dame took over and cruised to a perfect 9-0 mark and the national poll title. It was the last of four No. 1 finishes in seven years for coach Frank Leahy. The stars were end Leon Hart (Heisman Trophy winner and consensus All-American) and consensus All-America backs Emil Sitko and Bob Williams.1950—This was another pivotal year as AP’s rival United Press began its own top-20 poll, voted on by a panel of coaches. The two polls would go head-to-head for the next 45 years. On the field, Notre Dame, Army West Point (behind Dan Foldberg), SMU (behind Kyle Rote) and Ohio State (led

by Heisman winner Vic Janowicz) all led at least one week. But Oklahoma, behind coach Bud Wilkinson and consensus All-Americans Leon Heath and Jim Weatherall, posted a 9-0 record for the No. 1 spot and then promptly lost in the Sugar Bowl to Kentucky, led by Babe Parilli.1951—Tennessee raced to a No. 1 ranking on the heels of Bob Neyland’s coaching and the fleet feet of consensus All-American Hank Lauricella. Michigan State and California both mounted weekly challenges, but the Volunteers held on for Neyland’s first title in 20 years of coaching.1952—Michigan State took over in the third week and raced to a perfect 9-0 record behind coach Clarence “Biggie” Munn. The Spartans did not play in a bowl game.1953—Notre Dame looked like a sure winner as the Irish led for the first eight weeks of the season behind Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Lattner. But Maryland, behind the coaching of Jim Tatum and the play of consensus All-America tackle Stan Jones, made a late bid with a 10-0 mark. The Terrapins lost in the Orange Bowl to Oklahoma, 7-0.1954—The two polls split for the first time as Ohio State prevailed in the AP and UCLA in the UP. The two teams did not meet in the Rose Bowl to decide the “on-the-field” champion. UCLA had to stay behind because of the Pacific-8’s “Rose Bowl no-repeater” rule since they had played in Pasadena the year before against Michigan. Ohio State gave coach Woody Hayes his first AP championship with a 10-0 record and the Buckeyes defeated Southern California, 20-7, in the Rose Bowl.1955—Oklahoma continued with major college football’s all-time 47-game winning streak by cruising to an AP No. 1 spot with a 10-0 mark and handing Bud Wilkinson the second of three national poll titles.1956—This year was a continuation of Oklahoma’s powerhouse team, which posted a perfect 11-0 record in the all-time 47-game winning streak that lasted almost four years (1953-57). Led by center Jerry Tubbs and back Tommy McDonald, the Sooners gave Bud Wilkinson his final AP national title.1957—Again there was a split vote in the two polls as AP selected as No. 1 unbeaten Auburn (10-0), under Shug Jordan, even though the Tigers were on probation. UP, the coaches’ poll, threw out Auburn from poll consideration and went with Woody Hayes’ Ohio State Buckeyes (9-1). Auburn did not go to a bowl, and Ohio State beat Oregon, 10-7, in the Rose Bowl.1958—1958 turned out to be the year of the Chinese Bandits in the AP poll. Led by consensus All-America back Billy Cannon on offense and a swarm-ing defense called the Chinese Bandits, coach Paul Dietzel’s surprising LSU Tigers took over the No. 1 spot in midseason. LSU finished 11-0 and beat Clemson in the Sugar Bowl.1959—Even though LSU had Heisman winner Billy Cannon returning, Syracuse took over the No. 1 slot in early November and posted an 11-0 mark to claim its first poll title. Coach Ben Schwartzwalder was rewarded with his only championship behind the All-America play of guard Roger Davis, and Syracuse defeated Texas, 23-14, in the Cotton Bowl.1960—Minnesota, under Murray Warmath, led in both polls before the bowl games but was upset by Washington, 17-7, in the Rose Bowl. That prompted the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) to conduct a post-bowl poll that named Johnny Vaught’s Ole Miss Rebels as champion. Minnesota remained the official winner in both AP and UPI polls.1961—Alabama avoided a minefield of upsets and raced to a 10-0 record to claim the AP title, even though Iowa, Ole Miss, Michigan State and Texas all were No. 1 at one time during the year. It was Bear Bryant’s first of six AP championships.1962—Coach John McKay got his first national title as Southern California bided its time waiting for four other teams to share No. 1 during the year. The Trojans slipped into the top spot late with a 10-0 regular-season mark and then downed Wisconsin, 42-37, in the Rose Bowl.1963—Texas, under Darrell Royal, was a unanimous choice of all of the polls as the Longhorns took over the No. 1 slot in October, finished 10-0 and then beat a Navy team, led by Heisman winner Roger Staubach, in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns’ top player was tackle Scott Appleton.1964—The 1964 season saw the AP and UPI polls both agree on Alabama as No. 1, while the other two consensus polls picked Arkansas (FWAA) and Notre Dame (National Football Foundation). It was Bear Bryant’s second of six AP titles.1965—AP had its first post-bowl poll while UPI remained with a pre-bowl selection. AP selected Alabama for the second straight year. UPI went with Michigan State, which then lost in the Rose Bowl to UCLA, 14-12. Alabama had a 9-1-1 record and then whipped Nebraska, 39-28, in the Orange Bowl.


1966—Both Notre Dame and Michigan State were unbeaten as they headed into the November 19 matchup. The Irish came back from a 10-0 deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Ara Parseghian’s Irish actually got the ball back with 1:30 remaining and decided to run the clock out rather than try to win. His strategy paid off the next week as Notre Dame crushed Southern California, 51-0, and the Irish were picked No. 1 in both final polls.1967—Southern California rebounded from an early loss to post a 9-1 record and move into the No. 1 slot in late November. John McKay’s Trojans beat Indiana, 14-3, in the Rose Bowl to cap off the season. USC stars were O.J. Simpson, Ron Yary, Tim Rossovich and Adrian Young, all consensus All-America selections.1968—Ohio State overtook Purdue and defending champion Southern California to become No. 1 in late November. The Buckeyes finished 10-0 and drilled Southern California, 27-16, in the Rose Bowl.1969—Defending champ Ohio State led the pack for most of the year before Darrell Royal’s Texas Longhorns made a strong bid for No. 1 late. The Longhorns finished 11-0, including the first “Game of the Century” vs. Arkansas, in which Texas scored a 15-14 victory after trailing 14-0. The team from the Lone Star State then beat Notre Dame, 21-17, in the Cotton Bowl. Texas had only one consensus All-America player, lineman Bob McKay, but had many productive players, such as James Street, Ted Koy and Steve Worster.1970—It looked like this year might be a repeat of Texas’ ascension in 1969. The Longhorns dominated the AP poll for the entire second half of the season, but a 24-11 loss to Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl gave Nebraska a chance to take the final No. 1 spot. Bob Devaney’s Cornhuskers had only a tie to mar their final record (11-0-1) and beat LSU, 17-12, in the Orange Bowl.1971—Nebraska’s 1971 team, which many say was the best squad of its era, held the No. 1 spot from wire to wire for Bob Devaney, the first team to do it since Army West Point in 1945. The Cornhuskers were led by future Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers and defensive stalwarts Willie Harper and Larry Jacobson, all consensus All-America selections. The year’s showdown for Nebraska was a matchup with Oklahoma in Norman in what many still consid-er the best “Game of the Century.” Nebraska won the hyped contest, 35-31, to finish 13-0, including a 38-6 victory over Alabama in the Orange Bowl.1972—It was all Southern California in 1972 as John McKay’s Trojans became the second school in a row to take the No. 1 spot in the poll from first week to last. The 12-0 record included a 42-17 pounding of Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Southern California was chosen the winner in all four consensus polls.1973—First defending champion Southern California, and then Ohio State, combined to keep a lock on the No. 1 position throughout most of the season. But Alabama took over the last week of November and met No. 3 Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl for the AP title. Notre Dame won a close 24-23 victory and captured the No. 1 final prize. Coach Ara Parseghian got his second of two championships behind such players as Dave Casper and Mike Townsend.1974—In the year in which UPI finally moved its final poll until after the bowl games, Ohio State and Oklahoma led in the AP poll most of the year. Oklahoma, behind a crushing rushing attack headed by Joe Washington, was on probation and not ranked by UPI, but finished 11-0 to take the top AP poll spot. Oklahoma consensus All-America picks were Washington, guard John Roush and linebacker Rod Shoate. Coach Barry Switzer started his tenure with two AP titles in his first three seasons and a 32-1-1 record. UPI selected Southern California, which finished 10-1-1.1975—Oklahoma led the AP poll through September and seemed invincible. However, a roadblock cropped up in a surprise 23-3 loss to Kansas that snapped the Sooners’ 28-game winning streak. That sent Ohio State into the No. 1 AP slot until the crucial bowl games behind Archie Griffin, who was on track for his second straight Heisman. While Oklahoma was beating Michigan, 14-6, in the Orange, Ohio State fell, 23-10, to UCLA in the Rose, and the Sooners had their second straight AP championship. The Oklahoma squad had big-time talent in Joe Washington, Billy Brooks, Dewey Selmon, Lee Roy Selmon and Tinker Owens, who all earned All-America mention. Arizona State finished 12-0 and was the only undefeated, untied team. The Sun Devils, however, played in the Western Athletic Conference, not known as a strong league at the time.1976—Michigan raced to an 8-0 record and led the poll for the first eight weeks. Pittsburgh, under Johnny Majors, finished strong with a 12-0 mark, including a 27-3 victory over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. The Panthers were on top at the end of the season and featured Heisman winner Tony Dorsett and defensive lineman Al Romano, both consensus All-America picks.1977—Five teams alternated taking the No. 1 AP ranking during the year, and

five teams finished the season with 11-1 records, including pre-bowl leader Texas. However, Notre Dame (11-1) upset the No. 1 Longhorns, 38-10, in the Cotton Bowl by keeping Heisman winner Earl Campbell in check. Dan Devine’s Irish, behind consensus All-America players Ross Browner, Ken MacAfee and Luther Bradley, were also voted No. 1 in the UPI poll.1978—Penn State was No. 1 going into the bowl games but was upset, 14-7, by Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Tide (11-1) was voted No. 1 by AP, but Southern California got the nod in the UPI poll because it beat Alabama, 24-14, during the regular season. USC (12-1) was led by coach John Robinson and future Heisman winner Charles White. The Trojans whipped Michigan, 17-10, in the Rose Bowl.1979—Alabama (12-0) made it two AP titles in a row and six overall for coach Bear Bryant as the Crimson Tide drilled Arkansas, 24-9, in the Sugar Bowl to forge ahead of pre-bowl No. 1 Ohio State. The Buckeyes (11-1) dropped out of contention when they lost in the Gator Bowl to Clemson, 17-15, in the famous “coach-slugging-player” incident by Ohio State coach Woody Hayes. 1980—Alabama seemed to be in charge early, taking over the No. 1 AP slot for seven straight weeks until Notre Dame grabbed the spot November 4. But the Irish dropped out the next week as Georgia pushed into the No. 1 spot behind the running of freshman sensation Herschel Walker. Vince Dooley’s Bulldogs finished 12-0 and beat Notre Dame, 17-10, in the Sugar Bowl.1981—Michigan began as the AP leader before giving way after one week to Notre Dame, which was passed by Southern California, which was overtaken for a week by Texas, which then surrendered the top spot to Penn State, which then saw Pittsburgh rise to No. 1. All six of these teams fell by the wayside as Clemson, under Danny Ford, finished strong with a 12-0 record, including a 22-15 victory over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.1982—Pittsburgh and Washington alternated sharing the No. 1 spot until Georgia took over November 9. The Bulldogs were still the leader going into the bowl games. However, No. 2 Penn State beat No. 1 Georgia, 27-23, in the Sugar Bowl for the AP poll championship. It was coach Joe Paterno’s first of two AP national championships.1983—It was a disappointing season for Nebraska, which held the No. 1 AP slot for 14 consecutive weeks, but was edged by fifth-ranked Miami (Florida), 31-30, in the Orange Bowl. Coach Howard Schnellenberger’s Hurricanes took the AP title after winning a battle with a Nebraska team that had Heisman winner Mike Rozier and consensus All-America picks Irving Fryar and Dean Steinkuhler.1984—In a year that saw four other teams alternate as No. 1, BYU (13-0) hung around until fortune pushed the Cougars into the final No. 1 slot. Coach LaVell Edwards’ charges played no AP team in the top 20 in the regular season, but dispatched Michigan, 24-17, in the Holiday Bowl. When No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 South Carolina both lost November 17, the No. 3 Cougars vaulted into the top spot and never gave it up.1985—Oklahoma stayed the course after an early loss to beat No. 1 Penn State, 25-10, in the Orange Bowl and give Barry Switzer his second AP title. Brian Bosworth and Tony Casillas were the top players for the Sooners.1986—Penn State had not been No. 1 all year, but the Nittany Lions finished 12-0, capped by a 14-10 victory over pre-bowl No. 1 Miami (Florida) in the Fiesta Bowl. The bowl was arranged to match No. 1 vs. No. 2 because the two top teams had no conference affiliation. It was Joe Paterno’s second AP title.1987—Oklahoma held the No. 1 spot for all but one week during the year, but Miami (Florida) grabbed the national poll title by downing the Sooners, 20-14, in the Orange Bowl. Miami featured a bruising defense with Daniel Stubbs and Bennie Blades topping the consensus All-America team. Coach Jimmy Johnson’s 12-0 Hurricanes garnered the second of four AP titles in 10 years.1988—Notre Dame made a late-season run for AP’s No. 1 spot and finished a perfect 12-0 after a 34-21 win over West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl to grab the title. Miami (Florida) had control of the No. 1 spot early before UCLA took over for a couple of weeks, followed by the Irish’s push.1989—Defending AP champion Notre Dame held the No. 1 slot for 12 con-secutive weeks. Colorado took over when the Irish lost a game. The Buffaloes were No. 1 for only two weeks before Dennis Erickson’s Miami (Florida) team moved into No. 1 in the final poll by beating Alabama, 33-25, in the Sugar Bowl. Colorado lost its chance by losing to Notre Dame, 21-6, in the Orange Bowl.1990—This was another split between the polls with AP going with Colorado (11-1-1) while UPI went with undefeated Georgia Tech (10-0-1). In the ensu-ing bowl games, both teams won – Colorado beating Notre Dame, 10-9, in the Orange, and Georgia Tech downing Nebraska, 45-21, in the Florida Citrus. This was the season that critics of the bowl system began talking about creat-


ing another way to determine a national champion, indicating that the polls were not adequate.1991—UPI, which fell on hard times financially, saw its coaches’ poll switch affiliation to USA Today/CNN. With two teams each posting 12-0 records, the polls again split with AP naming Miami (Florida) No. 1 and the coaches’ poll going with Washington. Again, the media and public grumbled about not hav-ing a clear-cut national titlist, and the Bowl Coalition people started to think about replacing the poll champions.1992—The Bowl Coalition made its debut to decide a national champion, and Alabama, under Gene Stallings, upset Miami (Florida), 34-13, in the Sugar Bowl for the title. The Crimson Tide finished 13-0 to take No. 1 in both polls. Miami (Florida) was No. 1 in the AP poll for 10 of the season’s 15 weeks.1993—Florida State almost led the poll from first week to last, save for November 16 after a loss to Notre Dame, which took one quick week in the No. 1 roost. But Lou Holtz’s Irish were upended by Boston College, and Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles regained the No. 1 spot the next week. The Seminoles posted a 12-1 record, including an 18-16 victory over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Florida State QB Charlie Ward was the Heisman Trophy winner, and LB Derrick Brooks and DB Corey Sawyer were consensus All-America selections.1994—Florida and Nebraska held the No. 1 spot for most of the first half of the season and Penn State went undefeated, but it was Nebraska (also unbeaten at 13-0) that took the championship. The Cornhuskers squeezed by Miami (Florida), 24-17, in the Orange Bowl to hand Tom Osborne his first AP title after 22 years as the head coach in Lincoln. Joe Paterno saw his Penn State squad go undefeated and uncrowned for the fourth time.1995—Florida State was the team to beat as the Seminoles held the No. 1 slot for the first nine weeks, before giving way to defending champion Nebraska. The Cornhuskers ran their winning streak to 25 straight games with a 12-0 record. The Bowl Coalition matched No. 1 Nebraska with No. 2 Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. Nebraska whipped the Gators, 62-24, to remove any doubt about the No. 1 team, and the Cornhuskers took the AP prize for the second straight year.1996—This year marked a change from the Bowl Coalition to the Bowl Alliance, but it also proved less than satisfying as the top two teams – Florida State and Arizona State – did not meet because Arizona State was bound to the Rose Bowl and a game versus the Big Ten champion. Interestingly, both Florida State and Arizona State lost in their respective bowl games (Florida State lost to Florida, 52-20), which was enough to lift the Gators into the final No. 1 spot in both polls. Steve Spurrier got a measure of revenge over the Gator doubters from 1995, when Florida lost in the title game. Florida QB Danny Wuerffel was the Heisman winner, and Ike Hilliard and Reidel Anthony were consensus All-Americans.1997—ESPN replaced CNN in the USA Today coaches’ poll that named Nebraska as its champion. Michigan finished No. 1 in the AP poll. The Wolverines and Nebraska were both unbeaten heading into the bowls, and the Cornhuskers finished 13-0 with a 42-17 win over Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. Meanwhile, Michigan (12-0) beat Washington State, 21-16, in the Rose Bowl. Even though both teams won in the bowls, 21 coaches changed their votes in the USA Today/ESPN poll on the strength of Nebraska’s margin of victory and handed Tom Osborne the third poll championship for Nebraska in four years. Lloyd Carr got his first AP title in only his third year as head coach of the Wolverines. Michigan DB Charles Woodson was the first defensive player ever selected as the Heisman Trophy winner.1998—This was the first year of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), and Ohio State, under John Cooper, was voted No. 1 in the AP poll for the first nine weeks. Phillip Fulmer’s Tennessee Volunteers took over the top spot when the Buckeyes lost, and raced to a 13-0 record, including a 23-16 victory over No. 2 Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. Tennessee was voted No. 1 in all four major polls – Associated Press (AP), USA Today/ESPN (USA/ESPN), National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame (NFF) and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). 1999—For the first time since Nebraska did so in 1983, Florida State led the AP poll from wire to wire. It was not easy for Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles, as they posted a perfect 12-0 record, but had close calls in beating Georgia Tech, 41-35; Clemson, 17-14; and in-state rival Florida, 30-23. But Florida State ripped No. 2 Virginia Tech, 46-29, in the BCS Sugar Bowl. Peter Warrick, Jason Whitaker, Sebastian Janikowski and Corey Simon were all consensus All-America selections as Florida State finished No. 1 in all four major polls (AP, USA/ESPN, NFF and FWAA).2000—Nebraska, 12-1 and No. 3 in the AP poll the previous year, looked strong and was voted No. 1 for nine consecutive weeks to begin the season. Oklahoma, unranked the previous year, took over the No. 1 spot October

30 and cruised into the BCS Orange Bowl to face No. 2 Florida State. The Seminoles had one loss but the second-best strength of schedule. Bob Stoops’ Sooners clamped down on Florida State’s offense to post a 13-2 victory. For Stoops, in only his second year as a head coach, it was the first Oklahoma AP poll title since 1985 under Barry Switzer. Oklahoma finished 13-0 behind QB Josh Heupel (Heisman runner-up to QB Chris Weinke of Florida State), LB Rocky Calmus and DB J.T. Thatcher, all consensus All-Americans.2001—Florida and Miami (Florida) fought it out all year for a BCS crown and No. 1 spots in all four major polls. Miami finally came out on top by posting a perfect 12-0 mark and a decisive 37-14 victory over No. 2 Nebraska in the Rose Bowl, which finally became a part of the BCS process. Florida ended up fifth in the BCS rankings because of two regular-season defeats. Associated Press’ No. 2 Nebraska (11-2) overcame a 62-36 pounding by AP No. 14 Colorado in its final regular-season game to hold on to the No. 2 BCS ranking and the Rose Bowl date. Miami’s Larry Coker was only the second first-year head coach to win a national title (Bennie Oosterbaan of Michigan in 1948) as the Hurricanes were No. 1 in all four major polls and BCS champion.2002—Defending consensus champion Miami (Florida) held the AP No. 1 spot almost the entire year (Oklahoma was No. 1 during the week of November 4) and was No. 1 in the BCS rankings. The Hurricanes then faced undefeated Ohio State, No. 2 in both the BCS and AP poll, in the Fiesta Bowl. The Buckeyes, under second-year head coach Jim Tressel, held on for a double-overtime 31-24 victory, snapping the Hurricanes’ 34-game winning streak, sixth longest of all-time. The Buckeyes had many talented players, including consensus All-Americans Mike Nugent (PK), Matt Wilhelm (LB) and Mike Doss (DB). It was the sixth straight year that the AP poll champion posted an undefeated season.2003—Grumblings about the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) began after the season as the polls split yet again. AP selected Southern California (12-1) as No. 1 and USA Today/ESPN picked LSU (13-1) as champion. In a strange turn of events, Oklahoma was No. 1 in the AP poll for 14 consecutive weeks, and the Sooners looked unbeatable as they rolled to an 11-0 regular-season record. In the Big 12 Conference championship game, however, the Sooners were rocked, 35-7, by Kansas State. Oklahoma had built up such a lead in the BCS rankings, however, that it was still ranked No. 1 and faced BCS No. 2 LSU in the Sugar Bowl. Even though BCS No. 3 Southern California was ranked No. 1 in both the AP and USA Today/ESPN polls before the bowls, the Trojans were relegated to the Rose Bowl, in which they defeated Michigan, 28-14, to finish 12-1. LSU then edged Oklahoma, 21-14, in the Sugar Bowl in the BCS No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. The AP pollsters voted Southern California No. 1 and the USA Today/ESPN voters picked LSU No. 1 and split the nation again. Momentum began gathering toward a slightly tweaked BCS system that tentatively would add another BCS bowl to the mix in the future.2004—Southern California left little doubt in the BCS-decided matchup with No. 2 Oklahoma that the Trojans were top dogs by racing to a 55-19 victory in the Orange Bowl. The Trojans were No. 1 in the weekly polls from wire to wire with Oklahoma No. 2, and both were 12-0 going into the bowl games. The only fans who had a problem with the BCS championship game were the Auburn supporters, who saw their Tigers post a perfect 13-0 record, yet not be included in the title matchup. Again, talk of a playoff system was heard, with Auburn not only having a perfect record playing in one of the toughest conferences (Southeastern), but also finishing No. 2 in the final poll ahead of Oklahoma. Mountain West Conference power Utah also had an argument to be included after posting a 12-0 mark.2005—For the first time in BCS history, the top two teams in the country faced each other in the national championship game, as Southern California and Texas met in the Rose Bowl. The game lived up to all its hype, as the Longhorns rallied from a 38-26 deficit with two touchdowns in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, capped by Vince Young’s eight-yard scamper with 19 seconds left for the 41-38 victory.2006—Preseason No. 1 Ohio State played like a national champion from week one to earn a spot in the BCS championship game against the Gators of Florida. The Buckeyes had already taken care of another No. 2 in Texas in September, and after the opening kickoff, a 93-yard return for a touchdown by Ted Ginn Jr., it looked like they would hold off another challenge. However, the Gators answered quickly and often as Florida grabbed a 34-14 lead at halftime, coasted to a 41-14 win and was voted the 2006 AP championship. 2007—It was a year of upsets as four different schools, including one team three different times, held the No. 1 spot throughout the year, before LSU claimed the 2007 AP championship. Southern California was the preseason favorite and ran with the top spot the first four weeks before handing it off to the Tigers. It only took two weeks before LSU moved over for Ohio State. The Buckeyes hung on to the top spot for four weeks before giving it back to LSU.


The Tigers would fall two weeks later, and this time the Tigers of Missouri would jump to the No. 1 spot for the first time since 1960. It only lasted one week as Ohio State jumped back into the driver’s seat. For the second straight year, the Buckeyes would lose in the national championship game, and LSU for the third and final time that season, elevated itself to the top spot with a 38-24 win.2008—Six different teams held the top spot in the AP poll during the 2008 season. It marked the second-most teams to be No. 1 in the history of the poll and the most since 1981 when seven teams were in the top spot. Preseason No. 1 Georgia was the only team not in the top spot for multiple weeks as Southern California, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama and Florida each held the top spot at least two weeks. After Texas Tech’s dramatic 39-33 victory over Texas knocked the Longhorns out of the top spot in the first week of November, Alabama began a five-week reign in the top spot. Florida, however, claimed both a Southeastern Conference championship and the top spot in the AP poll with a 31-20 victory over the Crimson Tide in the SEC championship game. The Gators, playing in their second straight 1 vs. 2 matchup, then claimed the BCS and AP titles with a 24-14 victory over second-ranked Oklahoma in the BCS championship game, and undefeated Utah used its victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to secure the No. 2 spot in the final poll.2009—Only two teams held the top spot in the AP poll, both of which were members of the Southeastern Conference, and for the fourth straight year, an SEC team held the top spot in the final poll. The defending national cham-pion, Florida, entered the year as the preseason No. 1 and held that spot for 13 of 14 weeks going into an SEC championship matchup against No. 2 Alabama. The Crimson Tide claimed the SEC title with a 32-13 victory over Florida to move into the AP poll’s top spot for the second time in 2009. The BCS championship game pitted No. 1 Alabama against No. 2 Texas and the Crimson Tide’s 37-21 win clinched the national title and the No. 1 spot in the final rankings. While five teams (Alabama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati and Boise State) entered the bowl season undefeated, only Alabama (No. 1) and Boise State (No. 4) completed perfect seasons. Texas and Florida, which each lost only to Alabama, finished second and third, respectively, while Ohio State rounded out the top five.2010—Four teams spent at least one week in the top spot of the AP poll in 2010, including three different teams in a three-week stretch in October. 2009 national champion Alabama was tabbed the preseason No. 1 and held that spot for six weeks until a Crimson Tide loss allowed Ohio State to take the top spot. A Buckeyes’ loss in their first week in the top spot allowed Oregon to claim its first AP No. 1 ranking in the poll’s history. The Ducks held the top spot for seven weeks until Auburn took over after the final week of the regular season. In the BCS championship, No. 1 Auburn outlasted No. 2 Oregon to give the Southeastern Conference the top spot in the final AP poll for the fifth straight year. TCU joined Auburn among the ranks of the undefeated and finished at No. 2. The Tigers and Horned Frogs were joined in the top five by No. 3 Oregon, No. 4 Stanford and No. 5 Ohio State.2011—Oklahoma and LSU were the only teams picked for the top spot of the AP poll during the regular season in 2011. The undefeated Sooners held the spot until undefeated LSU overtook them in the fifth poll of the season. The Tigers remained on top as they entered the bowl season. In the final poll, Alabama was tabbed No. 1 after defeating LSU, 21-0, in the BCS champion-ship game.2012—Four teams spent at least one week in the top spot of the AP poll in 2012, including three different teams in a three-week stretch in November. Southern California was tabbed the preseason No. 1 but dropped to No. 2 the next week after the Trojans beat Hawaii, 49-10, and No. 2 Alabama defeated Michigan, 41-14, to claim the top spot. The Crimson Tide stayed No. 1 for 10 straight weeks before falling to Texas A&M November 10. New No. 1 Oregon fell to Stanford the next week. Notre Dame took over the top spot and held it for three weeks heading into the bowl season. In the BCS championship, No. 2 Alabama dominated the No. 1 Irish, 42-14, to give the Southeastern Conference the top spot in the final AP poll for the seventh straight year.2013—Only two teams claimed the top spot of the AP weekly poll in 2013, with the first 14 of those 17 weeks going to two-time defending champion Alabama. The last three polls were taken by 2013 champion Florida State of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Alabama was tabbed the preseason No. 1 and held that spot until the Crimson Tide lost at No. 4 Auburn, 34-28, November 30. Florida State worked its way up from No. 11 in the preseason poll to No. 2 for three weeks before taking over the top spot in the December 2 poll. In the BCS championship, No. 1 Florida State defeated No. 2 Auburn, 34-31, to end the Southeastern Conference’s streak of seven straight years of topping the final AP poll.2014—Defending national champion Florida State was the preseason No. 1 team and held the top spot through the first month of the season. But

Mississippi State, unranked in the preseason poll and through the first three polls of the regular season, won three straight games against top-10 oppo-nents to leap the Seminoles and take over the top spot. The ranking marked the first time in the history of the AP poll that Mississippi State sat atop the poll. The Bulldogs held the top spot for five weeks before dropping a 25-20 decision to Alabama on the road. The Bulldogs’ loss allowed Florida State to reclaim the top spot for two weeks. Despite remaining undefeated through the regular season, the Seminoles were once again jumped in the polls as Alabama took the top spot on. The Crimson Tide held the top spot going into the postseason and as part of the first College Football Playoff, Alabama was upset by Ohio State in a Sugar Bowl matchup that served as one of two national semifinal games. Ohio State went on to defeat Oregon in the CFP National Championship to claim the top spot in the final AP poll for the first time since 2002.2015—Defending national champion Ohio State was ranked at the top of the 2015 preseason poll and stayed in the top spot for the first two months of the season. Clemson, which started the year 12th in the preseason poll, first climbed into the top 10 in week six after knocking off previously unbeaten and sixth-ranked Notre Dame. The Tigers climbed to third in week nine and then jumped an idle Ohio State in week 10 to take over the AP top spot. Clemson held the ranking through the remainder of the season and went into the bowl season as the top-ranked team in the polls. Second-ranked Alabama, third-ranked Michigan State and fourth-ranked Oklahoma also joined Clemson in the four-team College Football Playoff. After Clemson beat Oklahoma and Alabama shut out Michigan State in the semifinals, the Crimson Tide and Tigers met in the first AP 1-2 match-up since the end of the 2013 season. Alabama held off Clemson, 45-40, in the CFP National Championship game to claim the No. 1 ranking in the final poll. Clemson, Stanford, Ohio State and Oklahoma made up the other top-five teams in the final AP ranking.2016—Defending national champion Alabama held the top spot in the 2016 preseason rankings and held that spot through the entire regular season. The College Football Playoff National Championship game featured a rematch of the previous year’s game. But this time, Clemson - ranked third in the AP poll at the end of the regular season - upset the Crimson Tide to claim the title and the top spot in the final AP poll.2017—For the second straight season, Alabama was selected with the top spot in the 2017 preseason poll. This time, however, the Crimson Tide held that spot until its final regular season game. In the Iron Bowl, sixth-ranked Auburn upset top-ranked Alabama to earn a spot in the SEC Championship game and move Clemson into the top spot. Clemson also earned the top-seed for the College Football Playoff and was matched up with fourth-ranked Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Tide’s defense led the way to a 24-6 victory and put Alabama in the CFP Championship Game for the third-straight year. In the title game, third-ranked Georgia (which advanced to the championship game with a double OT win over second-ranked Oklahoma) took a 13-0 halftime lead and a 20-7 third quarter lead over the Crimson Tide. But Alabama scored 13 unanswered points in the games last 21 minutes to force overtime. In the overtime, Georgia took a lead back with a field goal but Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa found DeVonta Smith for a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Crimson Tide its second national title in three years.


ASSOCIATED PRESS (WRITERS AND BROADCASTERS) FINAL POLLSBeginning in 1989, AP selected the top 25 teams instead of 20. Note: On January 6, 1948, in a special postseason poll after the Rose Bowl, the Associated Press voted Michigan No. 1 and Notre Dame No. 2. However, the postseason poll did not supersede the final regular-season poll of December 6, 1947.

*Beginning in 1974, by agreement with the Ameri can Football Coaches Asso cia tion, teams on probation by the NCAA were ineligible for ranking and national championship consideration by the UPI Board of Coaches. #Beginning in the 1990 season, UPI selected top 25 teams instead of 20. ¢In 1991-92, the No. 1 team in the final UPI/NFF poll received the MacArthur Bowl, awarded by the NFF since 1959 to recognize its national champion. Beginning in 1993, the No. 1 team in the USA Today/Hall of Fame poll was awarded the MacArthur Bowl. The National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame MacArthur Bowl national champions before 1991 are listed in national polls section.

College Football Playoff 159

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFThe College Football Playoff began in 2014 as the first playoff system to determine the national champion in the highest level of college football. The College Football Playoff seeds the nation’s top-four teams into two semfinal games. The semifinal winners then advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship game to determine the top team in major college football.The teams are selected based on the College Football Playoff rankings, which are determined by the selection committee. Beginning, in late October or early November, the committee begins ranking teams each week based on conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents and other factors. The top-four teams in the final rankings make up the semifinal participants.The two semifinal games rotate annually among six bowl games - Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl - while the College Football Playoff National Championship game moves to a new city each year and is played on a Monday night in January.University presidents and chancellors from all 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame serve on the College Football Playoff Board of Managers and govern the administrative operations, with commissioners (the management commit-tee) managing the event. The selection committee consists of individuals with experience as coaches, student-athletes, college administrators and journal-ists, including sitting athletics directors.

Bowl Coalition, Alliance and Bowl Championship Series History 161

BOWL COALITION, ALLIANCE AND BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HISTORY

Bowl Coalition The history of the College Football Bowl Coalition began in 1992 and lasted for three years through the 1994 season. The Bowl Coalition featured four games -- the Orange, Sugar, Cotton and Fiesta Bowls -- with conference champions locked into the Orange (Big Eight), Sugar (Southeastern) and Cotton (Southwest) Bowls and the Fiesta Bowl pairing two at-large teams.The Fiesta Bowl had the ability to select one Coalition-eligible team that was not a conference champion before the national selection date. The original Coalition also involved champions from the Big East and Atlantic Coast Conferences, as well as Notre Dame.Selections were made on the basis of how the champions of the Big Eight, Southeastern and Southwest Conferences finished in the final regular-season poll, which was a combination of the Associated Press and CNN/USA Today rankings. All selections were made by the Coalition as a group on the first Sunday in December after the final weekend of the regular season.All teams had to have at least six wins against FBS opponents, and Notre Dame was guaranteed a spot with seven wins and could still qualify with six wins given mutual agreement between the bowls.There were 56 FBS members that were members of the original Coalition, which also included original involvement with the Gator and John Hancock Bowls. The remainder of the bowls remained in place, many with predetermined conference tie-ins. A second layer of bowls eventually was identified and came to be known as the Tier Two bowls.

Bowl AllianceThe Bowl Alliance lasted three seasons, 1995 through 1997, and involved three games -- the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowls. A predetermined rotation cre-ated a situation in which each year a different bowl had the first two choices, while a second bowl chose third and fifth and the third bowl chose fourth and sixth.Conferences that were a part of the Alliance were the Big 12, Atlantic Coast, Big East and Southeastern, leaving two at-large slots.The most noteworthy change from the Coalition to the Alliance was the elimination of the conference tie-ins, which had been in existence for years. The goal was to provide the best opportunity to match the top two teams and provide the greatest flexibility in creating the postseason matchups between Alliance partners.In 1995, the first season of the Alliance, there was only one at-large position since the merger of the Big Eight and Southwest Conferences into the Big 12 had not yet taken place, providing five guaranteed conference champions that season.Notre Dame was guaranteed the at-large slot in 1995 by finishing in the top 10 of either the Associated Press or CNN/USA Today poll.

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIESThe Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was launched in 1998 to match the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the BCS rankings in a bowl game to determine a national champion in the absence of NCAA-sponsored playoffs. The No. 1 vs. No. 2 game rotated between the Fiesta, Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls from 1998 through 2005. A BCS Championship Game was added in 2006 for the contest between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the BCS rankings until the College Football Playoff began in 2014.1998—Top-ranked Tennessee beat Florida State, 23-16, in the Fiesta Bowl to cap the first BCS year.1999—Florida State returned to the title game again in 1999, this time appearing in the Sugar Bowl as the No. 1 team. The Seminoles upended Virginia Tech, 46-29.


2000—It was the Orange Bowl’s turn to host the final game, and Florida State kept its streak of appearances alive. However, Oklahoma’s defense ruled the evening as the Sooners won, 13-2.2001—Miami (Florida) was the only unbeaten team in the FBS through the regular season and earned the top spot in the BCS rankings. Nebraska edged Colorado for the second spot and joined the Hurricanes in the Rose Bowl. Miami exploded for 34 unanswered points in the first half on its way to a 37-14 triumph.2002—Miami (Florida) again topped the BCS regular-season standings with a 2.93 mark and Ohio State was second at 3.97. However, the Buckeyes captured the No. 1 vs. No. 2 victory in the Fiesta Bowl, 31-24 in two overtimes, to take the national title.2003—Oklahoma led the BCS rankings going in to the bowl games with a 5.11 mark, LSU was second at 5.99 and Southern California was third at 6.15. LSU captured the BCS title by defeating Oklahoma, 21-14, in the matchup of No. 1 against No. 2 in the Sugar Bowl. However, in the Associated Press (media) final poll, Southern California was voted No. 1 while LSU was No. 1 in the USA Today/ESPN (coaches) final poll.2004—Southern California led from the opening bell to the final BCS game, in which the No. 1 Trojans demolished No. 2 Oklahoma, 55-19, in the Orange Bowl. The season was not without controversy, however, as many upset Auburn fans thought the Tigers should have been in the title game after posting a perfect 13-0 record.2005—For the first time in BCS history, the undisputed top two teams in the country faced each other in the national championship game, as Southern California and Texas met in the Rose Bowl. The Longhorns rallied from a 38-26 deficit with two touchdowns in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, capped by Vince Young’s eight-yard scamper with 19 seconds left, for the 41-38 victory.2006—Preseason No. 1 Ohio State played like a national champion from week one to earn a spot in the BCS championship game against the Gators of Florida. The Buckeyes had already taken care of another No. 2 in Texas in September, and after the opening kickoff, a 93-yard return for a touchdown by Ted Ginn Jr., it looked like they would hold off another challenge. However, the Gators answered quickly and often as Florida grabbed a 34-14 lead at halftime, coasted to a 41-14 win and claimed the 2006 BCS championship. 2007—It was a year of upsets as three different schools, including one team two different times, held the No. 1 spot throughout the year, before LSU claimed the 2007 BCS championship. Ohio State was the week one favorite and ran with the top spot the first four weeks before handing it off to the LSU Tigers. It only took two weeks before LSU moved over for Missouri. It only lasted one week as Ohio State jumped back into the driver’s seat. For the second straight year, the Buckeyes would lose in the national championship game as LSU claimed the trophy with a 38-24 win.2008—For the second time in three years, Florida claimed a BCS championship despite entering the game ranked No. 2 in the final BCS standings. The Gators were fourth in the BCS standings going into the final week of the season, but Florida won a showdown against Alabama, which was the top-ranked team in the BCS standings. Florida’s win over the Crimson Tide moved Oklahoma into the BCS top spot and set up the BCS championship game between the Sooners and the Gators. Head coach Urban Meyer’s Florida squad controlled the potent Oklahoma offense and clinched the BCS championship with a 24-14 victory. 2009—Alabama scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to clinch a 37-21 victory over Texas in the BCS championship game and give the Southeastern Conference its fourth BCS title in as many years. The Crimson Tide was the top-ranked team in the BCS rankings followed by Texas after Alabama beat Florida, 32-13, in the SEC championship game. Florida held the BCS top spot 13 of the first 14 weeks of the rankings until the loss to Alabama in the SEC title game. 2010—Auburn’s Wes Byrum kicked a 19-yard field goal as time expired to give Auburn a 22-19 victory over Oregon in the BCS championship game and give the Southeastern Conference its fifth straight BCS title. Auburn held the top spot in the BCS rankings, followed by Oregon. TCU made it three undefeated teams going into the bowl season and the Horned Frogs earned a spot in the Rose Bowl.2011—For the first time in the 14-year history of the BCS, two teams from the same conference played each other in the championship game. The LSU-Alabama rematch from the regular season also guaranteed the Southeastern Conference its sixth straight BCS title. Alabama’s Jeremy Shelley kicked five field goals and Trent Richardson scored the game’s only touchdown on a 34-yard run. LSU managed only five first downs for the game and crossed the 50-yard-line only once as Alabama won, 21-0, to record the first BCS title-game shutout.2012—No. 2 Alabama rolled past top-ranked Notre Dame, 42-14, in the BCS championship game to lock up the Crimson Tide’s second straight national title and third in four years. Eddie Lacy, the game’s offensive MVP, ran for one touchdown and caught a pass for another to help Alabama build a 28-0 halftime lead. For the game, Lacy rushed for 140 yards on 20 carries. Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron completed 20 of 28 passes for four touchdowns and 264 yards.2013—A late score propelled undefeated No. 1 Florida State past No. 2 Auburn, 34-31, in the final BCS championship game to give the Seminoles their first BCS title since 1999. With only 1:19 in the game, freshman quarterback Jameis Winston engineered an 80-yard drive that resulted in a two-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin with 13 seconds left. In that drive, Winston went 6-of-7 for 77 yards, including a 49-yard catch and run from Rashad Greene.BCS CHAMPIONS

ExplanationTo derive a team’s poll percentages in the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, each team’s point total is divided by a maximum 2,875 possible points in the Harris Interactive poll and 1,475 possible points in the USA Today poll.Teams are assigned an inverse point total (25 for No. 1, 24 for No. 2, etc.) for each of their respective computer poll rankings to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the sum total of the remaining four rankings is divided by 100 (the maximum pos-sible points).This figure produces a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson and Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin, and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength within its formula.The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, and the computer rankings. The highest BCS Average receives the No. 1 ranking; the second highest receives No. 2, and so forth.

Clipping made a violation, with penalty of 25 yards.1927—One-second pause imposed on shift. Thirty seconds allowed for putting ball in play. Huddle limited to 15 seconds. To encourage use of lateral pass, missed backward pass other than from cen-ter declared dead ball when it hits the ground and cannot be recovered by opponents.1929—All fumbles ruled dead at point of recovery.1932—Most far-reaching changes in nearly a quarter of a century set up safeguards against hazards of game. (1) Ball declared dead when any portion of player in possession, except his hands or feet, touches ground. (2) Use of flying block and flying tackle barred under penalty of five yards. (3) Players on defense forbidden to strike opponents on head, neck or face.

Kickoffs out of bounds allow receiving team to elect to take ball 30 yards beyond yard line where kickoff occurred. Holding behind the neutral zone penal-ized 10 yards from the spot of the foul.

1992—Defense allowed to advance fumbles regardless of where they occur. Changes ruling of 1990 fumble advancement.1993—Guard-around or “fumblerooski” play ruled illegal.1994—Players involved in a fight after halftime disqualified for first half of next game; substitutes and coaches who participate in a fight in their team area or leave the team area to join a fight disqualified for entire next game; squad members and coaches involved in a fight during halftime disqualified for first half of next game.1995—Defense penalized five yards for entering neutral zone before snap and causing offensive player to react immediately. Players prohibited from removing helmets on the field. Players dis-qualified after second unsportsmanlike-conduct foul in one game. Fight suspensions allowed to carry over to next season.1996—NCAA tiebreaker system to be used in all games tied after four periods.1997—In overtime tiebreaker system, required a team that scores a touchdown to attempt a two-point conversion in the third overtime period. Approved a rule requiring a game to be declared a tie if it is in overtime but cannot be finished due to weather, darkness or other conditions. Chop block redefined to be penalized if “obviously delayed” and added restrictions to the “crack-back” block to make it illegal up to five yards beyond line of scrim-mage regardless of position of the ball. Officials prompted to enforce mouthpiece rule, charging a timeout to offending team if clock is stopped and player does not have mouthpiece in place. To prevent opponents from leveling punt returners with unnecessarily vicious hits, the penalty was increased from five to 15 yards.1998—For the first time in history, a backward pass can be recovered and advanced by the defense. It is now consistent with the application of the rules similar to how the defense is allowed to advance a fumble.1999—Holding behind the neutral zone will be penalized 10 yards from the previous line of scrim-mage. Dead-ball fouls by both teams that are part of continuing action or of a retaliatory nature and reported at the same time will be canceled and the penalties disregarded. However, any disqualified player must leave the game. Teams may not break the huddle with 12 or more players.2000—An illegal block shall now include any high-low, low-high or low-low combination block by any two offensive players beyond the neutral zone regardless of simultaneous contact by both. Also, blocking below the waist by offensive players (“crack-back block“) now includes not only wide receivers or players in motion but any player in motion in any direction at the snap and the area is expanded to include the neutral zone and 10 yards beyond. Also, prohibiting a defensive player(s) aligned in a stationary position within one yard of the line of scrimmage from making quick or abrupt actions that are not part of normal player move-ment in an obvious attempt to cause an offensive player(s) to foul.2001—A charged team timeout can be 30 sec-onds in duration if so desired by the team calling the timeout. Most penalties for offensive-team fouls that occur behind the neutral zone will be enforced from the previous spot.2002—The penalty for interference with the oppor-tunity to catch a kick, when no contact is involved, increased from five to 10 yards. Yardage enforce-

ment of flagrant personal fouls during possession by the defensive team may carry from one extra period to the next.2003—The game clock on all kickoffs will start when the ball is legally touched in field of play. The two-yard restricted area around player posi-tioned to catch free or scrimmage kick is deleted. Offensive linemen at the snap positioned more than seven yards in any direction from the middle lineman of the offensive formation are prohibited from blocking below the waist toward the original position of the ball in or behind the neutral zone and within 10 yards beyond the neutral zone. Backs at the snap positioned outside the normal tackle position in either direction toward a sideline, or in motion at the snap, are prohibited from block-ing below the waist toward the original position of the ball in or behind the neutral zone and within 10 yards beyond the neutral zone.2004—A camera, with no audio component, may be attached to cables that hang over the team area. The head coach may now request a charged team timeout when timeouts are not exhausted, and when the ball is dead. No defensive player who runs forward and leaps in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or try may land on an oppo-nent. The referee, if he is equipped with a micro-phone, will announce the number of the player committing the foul. The receiving team has the option of assessing the penalty for encroachment by the kicking team during a free kick from either the previous spot or from the end of the receiving team’s run.2005—Expanded experimental use of in-game video officiating review to all member conferences and institutions for the 2005 season. The same parameters approved for 2004 for the Big Ten Conference will be used. The video replay will not be allowed in postseason bowl games or in NCAA championships. Blocking from behind near the line of scrimmage was limited to contact above the knee. Another safety concern – helmet-to-helmet contact and spearing – was addressed by taking a player’s intention out of the equation to assist officials in the proper enforcement of the rule gov-erning that type of contact. The committee also defined regulation of unsportsmanlike conduct and celebration penalties to assist officials, players and coaches in understanding what type of action warrants a penalty. That means the committee does believe that spontaneous celebrations that are not prolonged or intended to bring attention to the individual should be allowed on a limited basis. A defined list of unacceptable behaviors was included in the 2005 rules book.2006—After allowing instant replay to review a game official’s call on the field for two seasons on an experimental basis, the committee approved one procedure for all institutions and conferences that choose to use it. The procedure calls for the replay official in the press box to review all plays on the field and stop the game. The committee also decided to allow each team one challenge during the course of a game, as long as the chal-lenging team has a timeout. The head coach may request a review by signaling for a timeout. If the challenge overturns the call on the field, the chal-lenging team is not charged a timeout. If the call is not overturned, the team is charged a timeout. If a team does not have any timeouts remaining, it is not allowed to request a review. In hopes of shortening the length of games, halftime is recom-mended to be 20 minutes in duration, but com-peting institutions are now permitted to shorten or lengthen halftime by mutual consent. Other changes include starting the game clock on kick-


offs when the kicker’s foot touches the ball, rather than when the returning team touches the ball, and starting the game clock when the ball is ready for play after a change of possession. In addition, the enforcement of all procedural fouls committed by the kicking team that occur before a scrimmage kick (except field goals) was changed. Now, the receiving team will have the option of accepting the penalty after the return or forcing the kicking team to kick again five yards from the original line of scrimmage.2007—The committee altered its rule to have the clock start on the snap after a change in posses-sion, as opposed to the 2006 rule that started the clock when the referee signaled the ball ready for play. Also, the committee returned its rules on free kicks to 2005 standards, starting the clock on kickoffs only when the ball is legally touched in the field of play. Other changes include limiting the play clock to 15 seconds after a television timeout. Kickoffs moved from the 35-yard line to 30-yard line. In addition, charged team timeouts were reduced by 30 seconds and penalties for all kicking team fouls that occur during the kick can be enforced at the end of the run. Finally, the play clock is started when the ball is handed to the kicker by the umpire on all free kicks and instant replay reviews are limited to two minutes to decide to overturn or confirm the ruling on the field. 2008—Helmet Crown and Defenseless Players. The committee has refined the rules regarding the use of the helmet as a weapon and the targeting of defenseless players. Emphasis on these actions highlights concern about potentially debilitating injuries. It is now a foul when a player targets an opponent and initiates contact with the crown (top) of the helmet. This rule is intended primarily for the safety of the player who initiates the contact. It is also a foul if a player targets a defenseless oppo-nent and initiates contact above the shoulders. Each of these is a personal foul and thus carries a 15-yard penalty. The definition of the chop block has been simpli-fied to assist in the understanding of this rule and to encourage more consistent officiating. A chop block is now defined as a high-low or low-high combination block by any two players against an opponent (other than the runner) anywhere on the field, with or without a delay between contacts. The “low” component is at the opponent’s thigh or below. A dangerous action that can lead to serious injury, the chop block is a personal foul that carries a 15-yard penalty. “Horse-Collar” Tackle. The committee addressed the potential hazard to a ball carrier that is grabbed by the inside collar of the jersey or shoulder pad and quickly jerked down. The rule prohibits all players from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immedi-ately pulling the runner down. This does not apply to a runner who is inside the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket. A key element is the immediacy of the runner being pulled down, because of the risk of injury. The horse-collar tack-le is a personal foul and the penalty is 15 yards.Face-Mask Foul. There is no longer a foul if any player grabs an opponent’s face mask without pull-ing, twisting or turning it. The five-yard penalty has been eliminated. This change does not change the safety aspect of this rule. Pulling, twisting, or turn-ing an opponent’s face mask remains a personal foul with a 15-yard penalty.40-Second Play Clock. The 40-second play clock represents a major change in the timing of the

game and will affect how the game looks and flows. The purpose of this change is to enhance the consistency of how soon the ball is ready for play once it has become dead. In the past, the play clock was set at 25 seconds and started on the referee’s signal on every play. Now, the play clock will be set to 40 seconds after the ball becomes dead on every play and started immediately. In cir-cumstances when the officials stop the game clock for administrative and other reasons, the play clock will be set to 25 seconds and started on the referee’s signal in the familiar manner. The 25-sec-ond clock will be in effect for penalty administra-tion, charged team timeout, media timeout, injury timeout, measurement, change of possession and after a kick, score, start of each period, start of a team’s series in extra period, instant replay review, other administrative stoppage.Also, the committee has eliminated the 15-sec-ond play clock, which was used after television timeouts.Ball Out of Bounds. When a ball is carried or fumbled out of bounds, the game clock will stop, as always. Beginning in 2008, the game clock will start on the referee’s signal when the ball is ready for play, not on the snap. In the last two minutes of the half, however, the clock will start on the snap as before, preserving the ability of the offensive team to maximize strategic use of the clock.Instant Replay-Reviewable Plays. The new rules expand the range of plays for which the replay offi-cial may stop the game to review. These include certain field-goal attempts, plays in which the ball carrier is ruled down and a loose ball is immedi-ately recovered, and plays in which the ball carrier is ruled out of bounds when he immediately carries the ball across the goal line.Field-Goal Attempts. A field-goal attempt may be reviewed only if the ball is ruled below or above the crossbar, or inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights. If the ball is higher than the top of the uprights, the play may not be reviewed.Ball Carrier Ruled Down. When a ball carrier is judged down by rule and the ball is fumbled, the play may be reviewed if the recovery of the ball occurs in the immediate action after the fumble and is before any official signaling that the ball is dead. However, if the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which player recovers the fumble, the ruling of down-by-rule stands. If the call of down-by-rule is reversed, the ball belongs to the recovering player at the spot of the recovery and no advance is allowed.Ball Carrier Ruled Down Near the Goal Line. When a ball carrier is ruled out of bounds, the play may be reviewed if his immediate action takes him into the opponent’s end zone and is before any official signaling that the ball is dead.Head Coach’s Challenge. A new rule expands the ability of a head coach to challenge a reviewable ruling on the field. The head coach now retains a challenge if his initial challenge is successful and thus results in a reversal by the replay official. The coach will then still have a single challenge that he may use anytime during the game if his team has not used all of its timeouts. Thus a team may have a total of two challenges in the game, but only if the first results in a reversal of the on-field ruling.Game Administration. Sideline Infraction. The committee has changed the rule regarding side-line personnel being in the restricted area, which is between the sideline and the coaching box. The former sideline warning has given way to a

sideline infraction, which carries an immediate yardage penalty. The first two infractions have a five-yard delay of game penalty, and the third and subsequent violations now carry a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Obtaining Opponent’s Signals. The rules now prohibit any attempt to record, either by video or audio means, the signals given by an opposing player, coach or other team personnel. Violations should be brought to the attention of the proper disciplinary authority.2009—Roughing the Kicker. The rules now say that if the punter carries the ball outside the tackle box, he loses protections provided as a kicker.Game Administration. The committee approved a request to allow teams, when approved by confer-ence office and agreed to by both teams, to wear colored jerseys as long as they are clearly con-trasting in color. When agreement is unable to be reached, the visiting team shall wear white.2010—Illegal Wedge Formation. On a free-kick down, the rules now make it illegal for three or more members of the receiving team to intention-ally form a wedge (defined as two or more players aligned shoulder to shoulder within two yards of each other) for the purpose of blocking for the ball carrier.2011—10-Second Subtraction From Game Clock. The rules now say if a penalty is committed with the game clock running and less than one minute remaining in either half, the officials may subtract 10 seconds from the game clock at the option of the offended team.Blocking Below the Waist. The rules now prohibit blocking below the waist except under specific circumstances. This rule establishes the principle that blocking below the waist should be a foul except for some limited circumstances where its danger is less.Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fouls. In situations involving taunting and/or unsportsmanlike con-duct, the fouls will now be treated as they occur, instead of as dead-ball fouls. Therefore, if the foul occurs when the ball is live (e.g., in the field of play), the foul will be enforced from that position instead of treating all fouls of this type as dead ball fouls (after the play is complete).2012—Players are no longer allowed to leap over blockers in an attempt to block a punt.After a touchback on a kickoff, the ball will be placed on the 25-yard line instead of the 20.Kickoffs will be moved from the 30-yard line to the 35.Players on kick coverage cannot line up more than five yards off the ball.If a player loses his helmet, he must leave the field for one play unless there was a face mask penalty.Offensive players in the tackle box and not in motion at the snap of the ball can block below the waist legally without restriction.2013—In addition to the 15-yard penalty for using the helmet as a weapon and the targeting of defenseless players, there will also be an auto-matic ejection of the player. If the penalty occurs in the first half, the player must sit out the rest of the game. If the penalty occurs in the second half, the player must sit out the rest of the game plus the first half of the next game. The replay official can overturn the call on the field.Blocking below the waist is now allowed in typical


line play within seven yards of the ball along the line of scrimmage.With less than a minute remaining in either half, a 10-second runoff of the game clock is optional if the sole reason for the clock to stop is an injury.Three seconds is the minimum amount of time required to be on the game clock in order to spike the ball to stop the clock. If one or two seconds remain on the clock, there is only time for the offense to run one more play.If a player’s helmet comes off during a play, he may remain in the game if his team is granted a charged timeout.2014—The “targeting” rule enacted for the 2013 season was modified whereby if a targeting ejec-tion is overturned on review, the 15-yard penalty also will be overturned, unless the foul was com-mitted in conjunction with another foul, such as an above-the-shoulders hit on a quarterback not deemed as targeting or a roughing-the-passer penalty.All conferences have the option to implement eight-man officiating crews.The 15-yard “roughing the passer” penalty was modified to include hits (including lunging and/or rolling) at or below the knees from defenders who are not fouled/blocked into the quarterback, not engaged in tackling the quarterback, or are rush-ing unabated to the quarterback.2015—Blocking by the kicking team’s players before they are eligible to touch the ball on an on-side kick is now a reviewable play.After the ball is dead, using forcible contact to push or pull an opponent off the pile is now an unsports-manlike conduct foul.2017—Foul added for leaping or hurdling players in attempt to block a kick.2018—Free kick fair caught behind Team B’s 25-yard line will be put in play at its own 25-yard line.Team that scores as time expires may forego try when ahead by one or two points.
