College Football

College football is becoming as popular as professional football. In some areas of the country is college football much more popular than NFL football. Memorial stadium is In Nebraska in Lincoln, for example, the third largest city in the State on its own football game days. It is a sea of red as fans in the colors of the team in support of the Cowboys.

Almost as popular as the games themselves discuss deals with the ranking systems. The BCS ranking system is used to determine which two teams will play for the National Championship every year.Data that is brought into different computers, together with the United States today poll (also known as the Coaches poll) and the Harris poll for determining the BCS ratings every week. the first BCP poll published once a year around mid-October although college football season in late August or early september begins.

The AP poll and the USA today polls are the most common use by the general public.There are several other polls. ESPN did a power Sixteen poll. Sports Illustrated publishes a poll, and do that CBS SportsLine and Athlon to mention a few others.

The BCS ranking system is under a lot of criticism. almost every college football fan has an opinion, usually a strong opinion on the matter. Not many people like to the BCS ranking system because they think there is a play-off to decide which teams will play for the National Championship instead of computers decide who will play.

Although the majority of college football fans in the benefit of a playoff, most of the University Presidents are against it because they feel the football season too long and would affect academics.

College football has been around for a long time. The first peer college football game was played on 6 November 1869. The game was between Princeton and Rutgers University. The score of the game was 6-4. Rutgers won.

The game is played that day was much different than college football as we know it today.During this first game players each team had 25. the rules of the game were more similar to rugby than modern football. The rules for that day in the game have been adopted on the lines of the Football Association of London. Each time one of the teams, which occupy the day scored the counted as a game. The contest ended after ten "games" or ten scores were. Who scored the most times won the contest.Therefore, the foreign score of 6-4 first game.

The game of football evolved over time. In 1875 the round ball who was the first six years of business with an oval ball replaced.In 1876 a sleeper is added to the target messages. The height of this cross was 10 meters (30 feet)-today is the same height. In 1876 the large playing field is also changed.This was made smaller-a size that is close to the size of the current playing field.

In the 1880s started the game to look like football, as we know it today. the rules applicable at rugby rules seemed to have changed.Instead of 25 players for each team is allowed on the field at one time, it was changed to 11 players.More rules were changed and added over time, a lot of people because of serious injuries and deaths of players.By the late 19th century made some security equipment part of the player's uniforms.

Early football was a vicious game.By the late 19th century began the public to speak out against the game. in the early 1900 's Columbia, which was one of the first teams to the sport, decided to football to ban, because it was too dangerous. even President Theodore Roosevelt spoke out to say that there are changes needed in the game.

More changes in the rules and safety equipment. In 1910 was formed an Association for college football. that body is now known as the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). the NCAA is responsible for the rules and regulations of the College football and is also in charge of making sure that the Member is the NCAA teams follow these rules and regulations.

Changes to the rules, it helped how the game was scored, and in the ball itself in the 1930s the popularity of the game win.
