College football has evolved a lot.
Prior to 1908 the rules weren't even standardized.
Prior to mid 1920's there was no concept of a "national champion"
Prior to 1936 there were no polls.
Prior to the late 1950's there was no 2 point conversion.
Prior to the mid/late 60/70's there was segregation, freshman couldn't play, and poll titles were awarded before bowl games.
Prior to the late 1980's kickers got to kick off a tee.
Prior to 1992 there were no conference championship games or official national championship games.
Prior to 1996 there was no overtime.
Prior to 2005 there was no instant replay.
And prior to 2014 there was no multi-level playoff.
So yeah, the game's evolved a lot.
