What makes college football, college football? Welcome to the Tournament of College Football Things. You decide what makes the sport what it is.
What makes college football the sport it is?
When you think college football, what matters? What’s great about it? What makes the game special?
They can be great games, historic teams, legendary coaches and players, the atmosphere – however you want to define this uniquely American sport.
We’ve created a Tournament of College Football Things, and we’re going to let you vote and decide what goes forward and what or who gets knocked out.
In general, we try to keep this as positive and fun as possible – yes, there are a slew of massive scandals that could be on here – so there’s just one NCAA sanction thing that makes the tournament, partially because it seems quaint by comparison to other controversies.
Go on Twitter to @ColFootballNews and vote throughout the entire process. The First Four voting is up now, and then the rest of the tournament will get started on Monday afternoon.
First Four Out
– Redshirting, 1945 Army, 2-point conversions, Steve Spurrier
