How does the FBS determine its champion?

  • Bracket tournament

  • Direct playoffs

  • Polls after bowl games

  • League votes

Answer

In the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the champion is determined through a selection process that considers various factors, including team performance, rankings, and bowl game results. After the regular season concludes, polls are conducted to rank the top teams in the country. These polls, along with other metrics, are used by a selection committee to determine the four teams that will compete in the College Football Playoff (CFP).
