BCS National Championship

The BCS National Championship was an annual college football game that determined the top college team in the United States. It was part of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), which used polls and computer rankings to select the two best teams to compete for the national title. Held typically in January, the game showcased the highest level of college football and crowned the national champion. Starting in 2014, it was replaced by the College Football Playoff system, which uses a playoff to select the top four teams to compete in semifinal games, leading to a championship game.
