History behind the term 'Title Game'

In 1902, college football was gaining popularity across the United States. As the sport grew in popularity, fans and media outlets began referring to the final game of the season as the 'Championship Game' to determine the best team in the country. This term laid the foundation for the concept of a title game.

1936

The Rise of Bowl Games

By the mid-1930s, bowl games were becoming a prominent part of college football. These postseason matchups featured top teams from different conferences competing for national recognition. The term 'bowl game' quickly became synonymous with high-stakes matchups and added intrigue to the end of the football season.

1968

The Birth of the Super Bowl

In 1968, the first Super Bowl was played between the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL). This championship game brought together the top teams from each league to determine the ultimate champion. The term 'Super Bowl' gained wide popularity and eventually influenced other sports to adopt similar title games.

1998

The Rise of College Football's Title Game

In 1998, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was created as a system to determine the national champion in college football.
