Since 2002, only two teams that were ranked outside of the preseason top 10 in the coach’s poll have played for a BCS championship. One of those teams, the 2010 Auburn Tigers, was guaranteed a berth by winning the SEC championship game. (2) The inconsistencies in the BCS system are rampant. For instance there is a special sub set of rules that apply only to Notre Dame, a school classified as independent due to their lack of conference affiliation. In this rule sub set Notre Dame automatically qualifies for a BCS berth if they finish higher than ninth in the final BCS poll.
Coach kept telling them to keep giving Theo the ball, because he was one of the best running backs we had. So one play Theo got the ball and ran all the way to Henry County’s 30 yard line. The next play coach called was “Wiggle Pass”; this was our bread and butter pass play. Our quarterback at the time was Brandon Robertson, so the center hiked the ball to him and hit stepped back and threw the ball to our Tight End; Isaiah Henry for a touchdown. Afterwards, we went for the two point conversion off the same play and he dropped the ball.
Germany went on to win the match 4-1. FIFA initially refused to indulge in any debate regarding the same, but International Player’s Union - FifPro, fans and supporters of countries like England and Mexico had already started voicing in favour of introduction of GLT. The issue got attention from FIFA and finally in July 2012, after testing it for nine months in four different European countries, in a special meeting at its headquarters FIFA finally decided that the Goal-line technology was ready to be used. Since then the GLT has been successfully used in several International events including the World Cup 2014 and various domestic leagues and cups like Barclays Premier League. This opens a new horizon for identifying other areas in football to implement technology rather than just using it to decide if a goal should be awarded or not.

Brief Situation summary: a. The issue that the NFL is facing is fans in complete outrage over a very controversial ruling made by replacement referees, and later backed by the NFL, during the Seattle Seahawks game against the Green bay Packers on Monday September 24th, which lead to a 14-12 victory for the Seahawks.

The first trophy, the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup, was donated to the NFL (then APFA) in 1920 by the Brunswick-Balke Collender Corporation.

The league awarded it to the Akron Pros, champions of the inaugural 1920 season; however, it was discontinued and its current whereabouts are unknown. [38] A second traveling trophy, the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy, was issued by the NFL from 1934 to 1969, and each champion was also awarded a replica trophy to keep. The current location of the Ed Thorp trophy, like that of its predecessor, is unknown, the predominant theory being that the Minnesota Vikings (the last team awarded the trophy) somehow misplaced it after the 1969
