Football has been a strong American tradition that heralds the beginning of the school year and the advent of the fall season. It is also the most important sport played at the college level and is so popular that students tend to choose their school based on their football loyalty. That's why College Choice has created the 2016 ranking for Top Football Schools in America.
Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, spoke about the importance of the ranking for American students, saying that: "Football has been a part of college experiences for almost 150 years. And while it has little bearing on the educational value of a school, it has tremendous influence in the life of college students and their ongoing allegiance to their alma maters. There is no doubt that for the football fan, football can have an effect on prospective students' decisions as to which school they want to attend."
College Choice put an immense amount of effort in ensuring that schools listed were ranked by using a few key factors. This included a school's overall win-loss record, the number of national and conference championships that school claims, the number of post-season bowls a team played in, and even the alumni success for each team. This information was gathered using individual school teams' websites, NCAA and NFL records, and the College Football Hall of Fame.
