As you can see, it says "Past Champions."

Your link posted above, is not an NCAA site. It is a CBSsportsline site with "NCAA" in its title/name.

The NCAA's site is www.NCAA.org. I could not find a list of NCAA Div. 1 football champions at that site.

"Past Division I-A Football National Champions


The NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process. Since 1998, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) has conducted a contest between it's two top-ranked teams to determine a national champion. More information on the BCS is available at their Web site.

A number of polling organizations also provide a final ranking of Division I-A football teams at the end of each season. Below is a year-by-year history of Division I-A football national champions as determined by the BCS championship game and these polling organizations. More information on national poll rankings is available in the Division I-A section of the NCAA Divison I-A/I-AA Football Records Book."

I can't wait for your response Mr T. Aggie.
