5x expanded by PCN02WPS (talk). Self-nominated at 01:48, 12 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2024 College Football Playoff National Championship; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Oppose ALT1 or any hook describing the 1948 national championship as "consensus". Cited article states "first outright national championship since 1948" but ALT1 hook changes this to "...consensus...". On the topic of national championships, "consensus" has several meanings. One is agreement between the two wire service polls (AP Poll and Coaches Poll), which the 1997 title fails (AP only). But the 1948 title didn't have agreement between those polls either... the Coaches Poll started in 1950. Another meaning of "consensus", the one used in the NCAA records book, is any national championship after 1950 awarded by one or more of the Big 4 selectors (AP Trophy, Coaches' Trophy, Grantland Rice Award, and MacArthur Bowl). The 1997 title meets that criteria with 3/4 of the selectors; the 1948 title does not (as it is pre-1950). PK-WIKI (talk) 03:20, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

- Note: striking the original hook; as we cannot predict the future, we don't know that there will never again be a four-team format championship; all we know is that the plan is that there won't be one next year or going forward a few years at most. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Certainly long enough, new enough (although I should note for posterity that DYKcheck says that this was "promoted to Good Article status on February 6, 2024"). ALT2 is short enough, cited, and interesting, although I should note that the source claims to contain the fact that the team finished the season undefeated 9-0, which should probably be fixed. No neutrality issues found, no valid copyright complaints. I'm not seeing a source for the Bracket or the Scoring summary tables, and there are two end-of-paragraph claims that prima facie lack a cite which I've marked.--Launchballer 00:23, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: I have fixed the 9-0 citation and the cn tag issues. The scoring summary is cited by the "box score" link in the summary box above it and the bracket is a template so I can't add a citation into the bracket itself though as far as I can tell everything in the bracket are cited in prose in the article.
