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 OFFENSE 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.

FBS Passing Efficiency Rating Comparison Passing 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.

The passing efficiency champion from the previous list continues on this next list in 1979. Annual Passing Champions Year Player, Team Cl. Att. Cmp. Int. Pct.

#Did not compile final ranking after the bowl games so it is not included on the year-by-year listings. ^The AFCA Trophy is traditionally given to the national champion of the coaches’ poll but in 2016, the AFCA retroactively awarded a national championship trophy for the 1945 season. The coaches polls were the UPI poll (1950-1990), the USA Today/CNN poll (1991-1996), the USA Today/ESPN poll (1997- 2004), the USA Today poll (2005-2014) and the USA Today/Amway poll (2014-present).

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 Coalition (1992-94) 1992 Season Sugar Bowl Alabama 34, Miami (FL) 13 [Had first selection, but had automatic matchup between SEC champion Alabama, which was ranked No. 2 in final regular-season AP poll, and Big East cham- pion Miami (Florida), which was ranked No. 1.] Cotton Bowl Notre Dame 28, Texas A&M 3 (Had second selection based on SWC champion Texas A&M being ranked No. 4 at end of regular season and chose at-large selection Notre Dame.) Orange Bowl Florida St. 27, Nebraska 14 (Had third selection based on Big Eight champion Nebraska being ranked No. 11 at end of regular season and chose ACC champion Florida State.) Fiesta Bowl Syracuse 26, Colorado 22 (Had fourth selection and chose at-large selection Syracuse and at-large selection Colorado.)

1993 Season Orange Bowl Florida St. 18, Nebraska 14 (Had first selection, but had automatic matchup between Big Eight champion Nebraska, which was ranked No. 1 in final regular-season coalition poll, and ACC champion Florida State, which was ranked No. 2.) Cotton Bowl Notre Dame 24, Texas A&M 21 (Had second selection based on SWC champion Texas A&M being ranked No. 7 at end of regular season and chose at-large selection Notre Dame.) Sugar Bowl Florida 41, West Virginia 7 (Had third selection based on SEC champion Florida being ranked No. 10 at end of regular season and chose Big East champion West Virginia.) Fiesta Bowl Arizona 29, Miami (FL) 0 [Had fourth selection and chose at-large selection Miami (Florida) and also picked at-large Arizona.]

1994 Season Orange Bowl Nebraska 24, Miami (FL) 17 [Had first selection based on Big Eight champion Nebraska being ranked No. 1 at end of regular season in coalition poll and chose Big East champion Miami (Florida).] Sugar Bowl Florida St. 23, Florida 17 (Had second selection based on SEC champion Florida being ranked No. 5 and chose ACC champion Florida State.) Cotton Bowl Southern California 55, Texas Tech 14

(Had third selection based on SWC champion Texas Tech being unranked and chose at-large Southern California.) Fiesta Bowl Colorado 41, Notre Dame 24 (Had fourth selection and chose at-large Notre Dame and at-large Colorado.) The 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 Alliance (1995-97) 1995 Season Fiesta Bowl Nebraska 62, Florida 24 (Had first and second selections and picked Big Eight champion Nebraska, which was ranked No. 1 in the regular-season AP poll, against SEC champion Florida, which was ranked No. 2. This pick was required through mandatory No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup rules.) Orange Bowl Florida St. 31, Notre Dame 26 (Had third and fifth selections and picked ACC champion Florida State against at-large Notre Dame.) Sugar Bowl Virginia Tech 28, Texas 10 (Had fourth and sixth selections and picked Big East champion Virginia Tech against SWC champion Texas.)

1996 Season Sugar Bowl Florida 52, Florida St. 20 (Had first and second selections and picked SEC champion Florida and ACC champion Florida State.) Fiesta Bowl Penn St. 38, Texas 15 (Had third and fifth selections and picked at-large Penn State and Big 12 champion Texas.) Orange Bowl Nebraska 41, Virginia Tech 21 (Had fourth and sixth selections and picked at-large selection Nebraska and Big East champion Virginia Tech.) 1997 Season Orange Bowl Nebraska 42, Tennessee 17 (Had first and second selections and picked Big 12 champion Nebraska and SEC champion Tennessee.) Sugar Bowl Florida St. 31, Ohio St. 14 (Had third and fifth selections and picked ACC champion Florida State and at-large Ohio State.) Fiesta Bowl Kansas St. 35, Syracuse 18 (Had fourth and sixth selections and picked at-large Kansas State and Big East champion Syracuse.)

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES The 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.

Bowl Coalition, Alliance and Bowl Championship Series History 167

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 kicked five field goals and 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. , 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 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.

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.

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 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. 2019—An adjustment to the targeting rule now requires officials to confirm or overturn the call by using video review. Players committing three targeting fouls in the same season are now subject to a one-game suspension. Blind-side blocks will now result in a 15-yard penalty. The two-man wedge was eliminated for all kick- offs. If a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will run alternating two-point plays to bring the game to a conclusion. 2020—Players disqualified for targeting will be allowed to remain on the sideline Game officials’ jurisdiction of the contest begins 90 minutes before kickoff, instead of 60 minutes. A coach is required to be on the field during pregame warmups when players are present and all players are to be identified by number.
