Home » Football » Who Won the College Football National Championship Game?

The College Football National Championship Game determines the national champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. Currently the top four ranked teams play in two semi-final games with the winners advancing to this game. Prior to the 2014 season participants were the two highest-ranked teams in the BCS standings at the end of the regular season. From 1998 through 2005 the game was rotated between the Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl. After that it became a separate bowl game unto itself.
