No, not at all
For me, there was a distinct change in college football that started in the 80s, as cfb became a legit TV product
There started to become an effort for the major bowls to match #1 and #2 through the bowl coalition/bowl alliance, which berthed the BCS, and which led to the 4 Team playoff
The Florida teams joined the elite of college football with 11 titles.
The SEC began to dominate college football.
Conference realignment went through major permutations
So, I'd say "modern" college football went from 1980-2023
The poll era was from 1936-1979
The beginning era was from 1869?? maybe to 1935. Didn't it start with Rutgers and the Ivy League?
Anyways, I think 2024 is the start of a new chapter in college football with an official 12 team playoff. Gone are the days of trying to be perfect in the regular season

Not bad considering the 6 year graduation rate for public institutions is 63%. The only team that falls below that is Georgia. Factor in the kids from major programs who go to the NFL after 3 years and will make more money than any of their classmates will ever dream to make and I think the football programs are doing a pretty good job of getting players through school. Clemson at 99% is impressive but my bet is one of the 1%’s - Tee Higgins - will make $21 million this upcoming season which is more than 99.9999% of his classmates will ever make in their lifetime. And he did catch that pass vs Ohio State😉. (And I guess he may have graduated but I can’t find anything to support that possibility). |

Men, don't be fooled by CF , so called, 'Graduation Rates'....very high propensity for fraud. If it can help you win fb games a program can keep eligible and graduate a semi-literate cockroach. Sooo many of these jocks have an army of tutors and handlers doing the work. They take unsupervised 'on line' 'courses and exams with help from those counselor/tutor/handlers and the FB jocks often have, impossible to fail, eligibility majors like 'Exercise Science'. It's all about win-at-all-costs eligibility for most of these professional players ,at the factories ,and grad rates for these guys and legitimate college students are barely related at all.
