The NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) is the highest level of college football in the United States. The FBS national championship is awarded annually to the team that finishes the season with the best record. The championship is decided through a series of postseason bowl games, culminating in the College Football Playoff (CFP). The CFP is a four-team single-elimination tournament that determines the national champion. The CFP was introduced in 2014 and has replaced the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), which was used from 1998 to 2013.
