Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Black College Football Championship still decided by the Sheridan poll? If so, are they contractually obligated to vote the Celebration Bowl winner as champion?
I've been debating with a few folks that we can still be crowned again even if we aren't in the CB.
Has anyone seen a Sheridan poll ranking this year?

I thought the official BCF poll was now Box-to-Row? I could be wrong.

You mean the Black College Football Champion is for real? I know for years Sheridan would "proclaim" a BCF Champion but I just thought it was another made up title. I don't think at was sanctioned by anyone but Sheridan. And I think ESPN just decided that if they used the National Black College Football title, it would be good for viewership and no one would sue them over the title. And guess what, they were right on both counts.
So as long as ESPN keeps broadcasting the Celebration Bowl (or similar bowls), you can expect the winner to be crowned the BCF Champions.

The BCF National Champion has always been a mythical title.
It is about as official as the Bluedeathvalley.com National Champion.

I knew that the true BCF Championship , Champion would come into question sooner are later..lol. When you have Tennessee state having a good year along with a number of D2 programs having there eyes on the playoffs a long with TSU . Heaven forbid if any of them make a deep run or win the FCS or D2 Championship . Are they BCF National Champions are just the FCS / D2 Champions . It's going to be interesting to see what happens when it happens..lol

National Champions on the stadium and notice in the first game of the season vs JSU we were introduced on espn as the HBCU national champions. |

Also it maybe mythical to some but quite a few high school athletes here in the Gainesville area have made a point to point out that A&T always plays for the national championship when they see me in my A&T gear lol. Look people have begun to take notice of this so called mythical HBCU championship it has opened doors and gained excess to recruits that normally would be closed to most HBCU'S . Mythical or not the championship is a productive recruiting tool. |

Let's be honest for decades the media would "crown" a large PWI football team the "National Champion." They've only recently added a four team playoff.
So if ESPN wants to"crown" us National Black College Football Champions, I'll accept it.

I got one after the 2015 season and then bought the one pictured above this year. It's hanging proudly in my office at work. Any of these Georgia Tech, UGA and Clemson grads want to have a conversation, I'm happy to educate them  ncat.bncollege.com |
