Sorry. It was already pre-ordained. The BCS is a sham. Just ask Auburn how they felt after getting shut out of the title game in 2004.

During the 1820s a group of students at Princeton began playing what was then known as 'ballown'. There were no hard and fast rules applied to this earliest attempt at the game we now call football. At Harvard, the freshman and sophomore classes competed in a football-type game played on the first Monday of each school year. This event came to be known as 'Bloody Monday' because of the roughness of the game. Pick up games, similar in style to that played on 'Bloody Monday', soon became popular on the Boston Common, catching on in popularity around 1860. Soon after the end of the American Civil War, around 1865, colleges began organizing football games. \n\nIn 1867, Princeton led the way in establishing some rudimentary rules of the game. Also in that year, the football itself was patented for the very first time.\n\nIn 1873, representatives from Columbia, Rutgers, Princeton, and Yale met in New York City to formulate the first intercollegiate football rules for the increasingly popular game still being played with many of the rules of soccer. These four teams established the Intercollegiate Football Association, and set the number of players allowed on each team as fifteen. Walter Camp, the coach at Yale with a desire for an eleven man team, helped begin the final step in the evolution from rugby-style play to the modern game of American Football. The IFA 's rules committee, led by Camp, soon cut the number of players from fifteen to eleven, and also instituted the size of the playing field, at 110 yards. In 1882 Camp also introduced the system of downs, but the system of downs was not finished until 1912, when the fourth down was added. Tackling below the waist was legalized in 1888.

12-7-1963 in an Army/Navy game was the first time it was used.  Now, if you want to know about reviewing a call on the field, then it was in 1999 that the NFL adopted the challenge system.  It's been tweaked a little since then, and the NCAA has adopted its own version for its uses.

What are you talking about?\n\nCollege football has been played since 1869. Rutgers beat Princeton 6-4 on November 6, 1869. That was the first intercollegiate football game.

It's both.  The BCS standings are derived from three sources - Harris Interactive College Poll, USA Today Coaches Poll, and six computer rankings.  The votes for each team (per poll) are divided by the total number of votes available, while the computer rankings are an average of the computer scores after dropping the highest and lowest score for each school.  If you ever look at a BCS standing grid, that's why there are three columns to show how each sector voted and how the overall rating was obtained.

Do you mean all sports? because Dave Odom did it two years ago when he won the SEC coach of the year at South Carolina in basketball.\n\n(Coincidently, Odom, Spurrier and Holtz have Univ. of South Carolina in common.)\n\nThe third football coach (and first to do this) is Bill Curry at Ga Tech (85) and 'Bama (87).

Hi,\n\nIn Bear Bryant's first five seasons he had a combined record of 35-14-3.  In 1945, his first year of coaching, Bryant was 6-2-1 with Maryland University.  He moved to Kentucky in 1946 and was 29-12-2 in his first four seasons with the Wildcats.
