The 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season, play of college football in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level, began on August 27, 2014,[3] with the regular season ending on December 13, 2014, and, not including all-star games, concluded on January 12, 2015.
Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Old Dominion made the move from FCS to FBS this season. This was the last season for UAB football, who dropped their program at the conclusion of the 2014 season due to financial reasons.
The 2014 season marked a major change to the post-season with the introduction of the College Football Playoff, replacing the Bowl Championship Series to determine a national champion of Division I FBS football through a four-team post-season tournament, with its participants decided by a selection committee rather than an aggregate of polls and statistics.
The 2015 Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl served as the semi-final games. In the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship game played on January 12, 2015 at AT&T Stadium, Ohio State beat Oregon
to claim the first ever College Football Playoff championship title.
Following the game, Ohio State was named the #1 team on the AP Poll and Coaches' Poll for the season, making the Buckeyes consensus national champions among the major polls. Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_season
