Mid-Major National Champs

After two years of undefeated mid-majors getting snubbed from the national championship, it has become evident that no mid-major will ever be given a chance to play in the coveted BCS Championship. Since this is quite unfair to the deserving programs that run the full gauntlet from August to January, CFBN is proud to introduce its annual mid-major National Championship.

CFBN would love to see some sort of play-off system for mid-major programs, so that an actual Division I-A mid-major national champion could be crowned. As of now, CFBN can only backlog as to which non-BCS programs had the best season since the inauguration of the BCS system.
