The BCS Era<br />
For 16 years, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) conducted college football’s national championship game,<br />
with teams selected by a BCS formula that included polls and computer rankings.<br />
For clarity, the College Football Playoff is a separate and distinct entity from the BCS and should not be<br />
confused with or compared with the BCS or other coalitions which existed in the past (see page 25 for a more<br />
complete description of the College Football Playoff format). But the BCS did crown a national champion from<br />
1999-2014, and the results, history and notable accomplishments of teams and student-athletes from the BCS era<br />
are listed below.<br />
