History

Historical Context

Established in 2014, the College Football Playoff (CFP) replaced the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), which had faced criticism for its lack of transparency and fairness. The inaugural CFP featured four teams selected by a 13-member committee, culminating in Ohio State's victory over Oregon in the 2015 championship. This shift has significantly impacted recruitment, fan engagement, and revenue in college athletics.
