Since the College Football Playoffs began in 2014, no FBS national winner has ever played more than 14 games, setting a new record. However, in its fifteenth game of the season, Penn State defeated Boise State. The Nittany Lions are getting ready for their historic 16th Orange Bowl matchup with Notre Dame. If they win, they advance to Game 17 of the national championship.
These days, the NFL regular season lasts that long, which is a lot for collegiate athletes and programs to manage.
