College Football Bowl Championship SeriesCollege Football Bowl Championship SeriesWhile the college football bowl season may be a nice ending to the season for most teams, the truly elite teams are always aiming to get into the Bowl Championship Series. The Bowl Championship Series is a series of bowls that are meant to highlight the best teams in a particular season, with a rotating venue for the national championship game among several bowl games. These bowl games include the Rose Bowl, Fiesta, and Sugar Bowls and when they aren't hosting the national championship game, they host other Bowl Championship Series participants. Entrants into the series are determined by a complex series of data that are put into a special BCS computer. Some of the factors that go into deciding whether a team advances to the Bowl Championship Series include difficulty of schedule, win-loss record, total points, margin of victory, and conference record. As well, the two major Top 25 polls, the Coaches and Associated Press poll, are included in this formula to add a more subjective measure of a team's success. Beginning in the middle of October, the BCS numbers are published to show where a team is located in the top 10 of BCS teams. Six conferences are guaranteed BCS bowl berths and those two teams at the top of the BCS numbers after the regular season advance to the BCS Championship game at the beginning of January.

College Football's Highest Honor: The Heisman Trophy For college football players, there is no greater honor than receiving the Heisman Trophy. Given to honor the most valuable player in college football over the last six decades, the Heisman Trophy has come to demonstrate the popularity and success of certain players. However, the Heisman Trophy has not always meant success at the next level with Heisman winners like Houston quarterback Andre Ware, realizing that they weren't able to make it in the NFL. The Heisman Trophy has become an iconic symbol of American sports, with its distinctive bronze statue and classy presentation ceremony. Held at the Downtown Athletic Club in early December, the presentation ceremony is broadcast on cable sports networks that cover each nominee in depth. Votes are given to college football writers, analysts, and coaches around the country and each voter puts the Heisman finalists in order from most to least deserving. College Football To The NFL For many college football players, the ultimate dream is to move onto the professional game. There are many ways in which college players distinguish themselves after their last college game. Several college all-star games are held, where NFL coaches can scout and watch players up close. The NFL Combine and other camps allow scouts to see which college players have the physical and mental attributes to succeed at the next level. Finally, on their biggest day, college football players can see their dreams realized by being selected in the NFL Draft. However, those who don't get drafted can be signed on later as free agents, sign with an NFL Europe team, or go into Arena Football.
