As I suspected, the Crystal Football trophy we all know and love has not been retired. It is still the official trophy of the Coaches poll and will be among one of the many national championship trophies a team receives (there is the AP, the Grantland Rice, the MacArthur, etc.)
It just now is no longer the official trophy of the BCS/CFP.
All that's changed is that now the BCS/CFP has its own custom trophy which will be what is given on the field during the post game ceremony.

Thank God. Much rather have the crystal football than a golden elephant dildo.

Nice. Though this is gonna create issues. No one's gonna want the new trophy.

I bet in 5, 10 years they got back to the crystal trophy as the main one.

So pretty much instead of 4 big trophies you'll end up getting 5.
The McArthur one (the big silver bowl) is like the Stanley Cup though, the winner gets it for the year and then has to give up the next year to new winner.

The new trophy is great and will be given at the game. The Crystal ball will not be at the post game celebration.

The best postgame images after the NC games have been the HCs and players holding up the crystal ball in celebration. Holding up the golden vag on a pedestal is just not gonna be a good look.

So there's still a chance for Georgia?

If you mean a chance that Georgia will be ridiculed even more for not winning shite, then, yes, you are correct.

Yep, the football part of the new trophy is ridiculous.
