Talk:NCAA Division I Football Championship


 * Rated mid, despite WP:CFB's tendency to rate all I-AA items low because it's the championship. -- MECU ≈ talk 23:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

A "Subdivision" is a football game?
I know that the NCAA is wreaking havoc on all common sense with these silly names, but I don't think the topic sentence of this article makes sense. The subdivision wouldn't be the game; wouldn't the I-AA final be the "NCAA Division I Football Championship Game" or something? I thought the subdivision was what used to be known as D-I-AA, but the Division I article says, "The Division I-AA determines its champion in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, a 16-team, single-elimination tournament," implying that the subdivision is the whole tournament. That makes more sense than saying the subdivision is a singe game, but the whole thing is still a mess. Can someone knowledgeable fix it, hopefully with references?

Unsourced Crud
Someone took it upon themselves to delete info about the Ivy League and SWAC which he described as "crud." I sourced it from other Wikipedia articles about the leagues and about the SWAC schools. It is true info. I would put it back, but I am concerned it will just get deleted again. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 00:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I deleted it the first time and I'll probably remove it this time as well. As you've stated the information about the Ivy and SWAC is located in other articles. This article is about the championship, format and teams who have won it. Geologik (talk) 01:52, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Tournament or game?
The lead is at odds with itself, as to whether the article will be discussing a tournament, or a championship game (bolding added by me):


 * The NCAA Division I Football Championship is an American college football tournament played each year to determine the champion of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Prior to 2006, the game was known as the NCAA Division I-AA Football Championship.

It's clear that the article has tight focus on the championship game itself, with some broad historical context. It is not about the tournament (playoff bracket). So, it would seem it would add clarity to rename this article NCAA Division I Football Championship Game. That would align with the individual pages about specific games, for example 2019 NCAA Division I Football Championship Game. Much like FBS bowl games, such as Orange Bowl and 2017 Orange Bowl, 2018 Orange Bowl, etc. Comment or suggestion welcome from other editors. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 07:31, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Update: after reviewing the College Football Playoff National Championship article, which is about a championship game (without having "Game" in its title), I've updated this article's lead in a similar manner, which should be clearer to readers. Dmoore5556 (talk) 00:59, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
