  1. College Football Rankings
    Football is one of the most popular college sports in the United States. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), located in Indianapolis, is the most important organization governing major college competition. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, oversees competition for smaller four-year schools. The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, governs play for two-year and community colleges throughout the country. Under the jurisdiction of these national governing bodies are individual conferences and leagues based on school size and regional location. Well-known NCAA conferences include the Atlantic Coast, the Big Ten (northern Midwest), the Big 12 (Midwest), the Pacific-10 (Western states), the Southeastern Conference, and the Ivy League (Northeast).
  2. College Football Rankings -- Polls
    College football polls, like telephone books and price lists, should be treated as databases under copyright law. U.S. and international copyright law4 protect the databases as compilations of data, thereby only protecting the database to the extent of its selection and arrangement of data. The Supreme Court ruled that a residential telephone book did not receive copyright protection because the alphabetical listing of names and phone numbers lacked originality, "the sin qua non of copyright."5 However, the Second and Ninth Circuits have granted copyright protection to the information contained in the Red Book of used car values and Greysheet of coin prices because they were not "pre-existing facts that had merely been discovered…these predictions were based not only on a multitude of data sources, but ... on professional judgment and expertise."6
  3. College Football Rankings -- Season
    After each college season, the Downtown Athletic Club of New York City presents the Heisman Trophy to the top college football player in the United States. Four players are nominated for the award, and a poll of sportswriters determines the winner. The award is named after John William Heisman, an outstanding early college football coach who is credited with several modern innovations, such as the center-quarterback snap and the forward pass. The trophy was first awarded in 1935, and although any position player can win it, the Heisman winner is usually a quarterback, running back, or wide receiver. Winners of the Heisman Trophy who went on to excel in professional football include Paul Hornung, Roger Staubach, Earl Campbell, and Barry Sanders.
  4. College Football Rankings -- Teams
    One of the feel-good stories of last year, as movie reviewers always say, was the discovery that maybe Joe Paterno wasn't ready for the dustbin of college football history quite yet. It's amazing how good players can make a coach seem smarter, and Paterno has a lot of them back this year. Wide receiver Derrick Williams may be Papa Joe's fastest player ever, and fellow wideout Deon Butler isn't exactly a slowpoke. The offense will have a different look with dropback artist Anthony Morrelli at quarterback instead of the elusive Michael Robinson and tailback Tony Hunt probably getting the ball more, but the key could be the Nittany Lions' ability to reload on the offensive line. Linebacker Paul Posluszny, a first-team All-American last season, returns at linebacker, but the rest of the defense will be somewhat inexperienced. Will the Paterno Revival Tour continue?
  5. Arena Football -- Arena Football League
    The Arena Football League (AFL) is a professional indoor football league in the United States. The league is very young, having been founded in 1987 with the first game (“playtest game”) taking place between the Rockford Metros and the Chicago Politicians. The AFL ... governs a minor/developmental league called the af2 (arenafootball2) which was established in 2000. Fan attendance has seen highs and lows throughout the league’s history but recently it has hit an upward surge; average attendance in 2007 was over 12,000.
  6. Colleges

  7. All American Football -- American Football League
    The 32-team National Football League (NFL) is currently the only major professional American football league in North America. At least two new professional American Football Leagues are slated to begin playing in 2008, the All-American Football League and the United Football League. There are professional American football leagues located in over 50 countries in the world (see List of leagues of American and Canadian football). A few of the more popular international leagues are the German Football League (GFL) and the Japanese X-League. The NFL does not operate any developmental leagues currently since the closing of NFL Europa. Players unable to make an NFL team sometimes play in other leagues such as the Arena Football League or Canadian Football League, both of which have rules differing somewhat from those of the NFL.
  8. College -- Colleges

  9. Gerald Ford -- Football
    According to the folks that represent his library in Grand Rapids, Ford turned down offers to play for the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers after his senior season. He instead went on to coach boxing and football at Yale while waiting to gain entry to law school.
  10. Notre Dame Football -- Games
    It’s been quite awhile since the University of Notre Dame was a perennial power in college football. The on-going malaise this season is bringing the program under intense scrutiny. Charlie Weis was lured away from the NFL in 2004 and appeared to be the answer to the problems experienced by the Irish in his first two years as Head Coach. Notre Dame went 9-2 in 2005 and lost a BCS bowl to Ohio State. In 2006 the record improved to 10-2 and yet the team lost another BCS bowl, this time to LSU. Even with the bowl game losses, it appeared Notre Dame was on the right track.
