Before the College Football Playoff was established in 2014, the BCS determined what teams would play in the National Championship game. Many people complained about the BCS and how two teams were selected for the National Championship. The BCS specifically favored the power conferences and left out non-power conference teams that finished undefeated. Boise State and TCU are notable teams that were left out of the BCS National Championship game in the recent past. Boise State defeated Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, while TCU beat Wisconsin in the 2011 Rose Bowl. The uproar of years of controversies drove the NCAA to incorporate a playoff between the best four teams in the nation.
