NCAA College Football is like any other sport where certain teams tend to dominate year in and year out. Of course, its more difficult to accomplish this in college football because of the near-constant turnover in player personnel.Unlike professional football or other professional sports, colleges and universities that play football competitively only have their players for at most four playing years, the time it takes to complete their academic careers and receive their degrees.

That means that a team with two or three or more very good players can only rely on them for up to four years. In many cases, when the lure of a big money contract is impossible to ignore, and the player is coveted by the NFL, he turns professional before he receives his degree.And yet, there are college programs, and teams, that win consistently.

Generally, these programs are in the major college conferences, the Big 10 , the Atlantic Coast Conference ACC, the PAC 10 Pacific Athletic Conference, the Big East , and a few others.Teams from these conferences like USC University of Southern California, the University of Miami or Florida and Florida State are recruiting top prospects and killing on the football field with superior atheletes playing for them. Michigan and Ohio State from the Big 10 are always among the countrys best teams and storied franchises. Year after year, they are ranked in the weekly Top Ten national rankings. And these teams, plus others like LSU Louisiana State University , Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Nebraska, just to name a few others are among the group of teams that play for the National Championship every season.

Now, only one team can finish the season as The Number One Team. But, it almost certainly will be from the group mentioned earlier. And, even the teams that dont win the National Championship and the Number One ranking still finish each season strongly. Its not uncommon for any of these top college football teams to win 8 or 9 or even 10 games every season , no matter how much their roster has turned over from the previous season.And if a team is winning that many games, its only losing one or two or, in a real off year, perhaps three games. Thats success and a winning tradition. And thats why winning college football teams often perform before huge crowds of up to 100,000 people every Saturday afternoon. Thats a larger crowd than NFL teams usually get. And thats amazing , proof of the immense popularity of college football.

Of course, like the NFL, winning college football teams receive extensive coverage from TV networks, further increasing their audience , and the popularity of college football.All in all, college football, especially where winning teams are concerned, has created legions of fans , and almost endless, non-stop excitement every autumn, from coast,to-coast.
