The subject of this article is poorly framed in this article and is covered more comprehensively at College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS, Bowl Coalition, Bowl Alliance, Bowl Championship Series, and College Football Playoff Jweiss11 (talk) 14:00, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - "Major college football" national championships are already comprehensively covered in the College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS article, and the focus should be on improving that article, not creating a new competing article. That said, there are elements of this article that are better presented, and we should seriously consider incorporating those tables, graphics, etc., into the pre-existing article(s). I might also add that "College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS is an anachronistic title, given that "Division I" has only existed since the 1970s, and the "FBS" designation has only existed since 2006 (and Division I-A from 1978 to 2005).

Merge - Just further support of what dirtlawyer said. This article is a lot easier on the eyes, but has a place already. Cake (talk) 14:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I applaud the effort, but I think this belongs in another article. Perhaps the author can provide reasoning to keep it separate? --Paul McDonald (talk) 03:47, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
