College Football National Champions and Selectors Database v.2.0.0
2,051 Database Records
The College Football National Champions and Selectors Database turns a simple 70-row list into a structured history of 2,051 major-selector selections spanning 1869 through 2025. Each row identifies the season, team, selector, method, contemporaneous or retroactive timing, historically accurate top-level classification, championship-system era, and source context. Split titles and competing selectors remain separate instead of being flattened into a single winner. The protected package includes matching UTF-8 CSV, JSON, and SQLite data plus schema, sample, statistics, source documentation, and a signed manifest.
