 * Purpose:** To establish a fundamentally unbiased NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision playoff system which maximizes athletic fairness, profit, entertainment level, and constitutional fairness.


 * Eligibility:** Any NCAA D1 football team that competes in a full season and is considered fully eligible and in good standing by the NCAA.

This means that all D2, D3, D4, and NAIA teams are not able to participate in these playoffs. This allows a more organized way of running playoffs because of only one division. There will be a total of 63 games in the playoffs starting with 32 in the first round, 16 in the second round, 8 in the third round, 4 in the fourth round, 2 in the fifth round, and then the National Championship game.
 * Terms and Benefits**: Teams that qualify for the D1 NCAA football championships will have to be in the top 64 overall teams at the conclusion of the regular football season. Ranking is determined through a mathematical calculation based on season record, points scored and points allowed, schedule strength, and opponent winning percentage. College football teams that do not meet the following requirements are not participating:
 * NCAA D1-A or D1-AA college football team
 * One of the top 64 teams based upon certain requirements
