College football is getting to be as popular as professional football. In some areas of the country http://www.authenticrayspro.com/rays-steven-souza-jersey/ , college football is a lot more popular than NFL football. In Nebraska for example, Memorial stadium in Lincoln becomes the state's third largest city on home football game days. The stadium becomes a sea of red as fans dress in the team colors in support of the Cornhuskers.

Almost as popular as discussing the games themselves is discussing the ranking systems. The BCS ranking system is used to determine which two teams will play for the National Championship each year. Data that is fed into several computers along with the USA Today poll (also called the Coaches poll) and the Harris poll are used to determine the BCS ratings each week. The first BCS poll each year is published around mid-October even though college football season starts in either late August or early September.

The AP poll and the USA Today polls are the most common polls used by the general public. There are several other polls. ESPN has a Power Sixteen poll. Sports Illustrated publishes a poll and so do CBS's Sportsline and Athlon to name a few others.

The BCS ranking system has come under a lot of criticism. Almost every college football fan has an opinion about it, usually a strong opinion. Many people do not like the BCS ranking system because they think there should be a playoff to decide which teams will play for the National Championship instead of computers deciding who will play.

Although the majority of college football fans are in favor of a playoff, the majority of University presidents are against it because they feel it would make the football season too long and would affect academics.

College football has been around a long time. The first intercollegiate college football game was played on November 6 http://www.authenticrayspro.com/rays-steve-cishek-jersey/ , 1869. The game was between Princeton and Rutgers University. The score of the game was 6-4. Rutgers won.
