Best Lions team in 95 years of football with an 11-0 run. Given the remaining schedule, Philly may still edge them out for the #1 seed, but this has still been an impressive run.

Since the Bengals are now eliminated, I am rooting for the Lions. I've always felt they were the 'Bengals' of the NFC given their history. A lot of suffering as a fan of either team.

I've been a Detroit fan since the mid-'80s.  I was hoping to finally have a Cincinnati/Detroit super bowl after waiting for it for decades.  Alas, it was not to be.  So, I'm hoping they can finally at least get to one and get off the futility list.

Do you know what trophy this is? 
 


It is the CFP National Championship Trophy, earned by the best team in College Football Division I since 2014. 

That is today's standard, 2014.  Keep in mind we have a 12 team playoff format now.  

All the BCS Championships 1998-2013 don't count?   

Do all the championships voted by the coaches and the ones by the writers not count before the BCS? 

Are you telling me all the College Football Championships don't count? 

If you say they do count then Yale has the most College Football Championships at 18. 

Who says? The NCAA says!!!!

Then Detroit has 4 World Championships.

False equivalent.  The CFB is not the NFL.  Those Detroit championships were before the merger.  Was there a merger in CFB?

Not a bad choice, as they were originally from Ohio. They began life as the Portsmouth Spartans, the first ever professional football team.

I went by Spartan Stadium not to long ago, memories. The city of Portsmouth has tried to get the NFL to buy Spartan stadium several times, no dice. And just to the east a bit were the Ironton Tanks. Lots of football history in southern Ohio.

Oh and I'm a Lions fan now as well.

False logic.

No other sport is any other sport. 

We are talking about the culmination, finale, omega, completion, achievement, and fulfillment of a season.

The CFP Championship is new that is why Alabama is recognized with having the most Championships with 3 with the new trophy since 2014. That is a fact.

If you want don't want to agree with what the NCAA and neglect the CFP Championship then Yale has the most Championships at 18, since 1874.

That is not me saying this but the NCAA themselves. That is a fact.
