2018 Season

Shouldn't this article be for the 2018 Championship? The 2019 season does not start until September. The fact that the CFBPNC game is not played until a calendar date in 2019 does not change the fact that it is the game for the 2018 regular season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.235.85 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - historically, games are named based on the year that they are played, not the season they are associated with. This is done consistently across all the various college football bowl games; not just here on Wikipedia but also in the press. For a random example, see the 1976 Rose Bowl, played on January 1, 1976, as one of the final games of the 1975 season. The point you raise is why the season itself is highlighted in both the lead and the infobox. Dmoore5556 (talk) 17:57, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, here's this year's Jan 1 bowl games that follow the same naming rule: 2019 Fiesta Bowl (January), 2019 Rose Bowl, 2019 Citrus Bowl, 2019 Outback Bowl, and 2019 Sugar Bowl. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:48, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was the 2018 National Championship. Per the NCAA, whose opinion is the only one that matters here, the 2019 National Championship went to LSU, and 2018 went to Clemson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:4A80:C270:E136:5CF8:13B2:922E (talk) 01:25, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:246:4A80:C270:E136:5CF8:13B2:922E: Wikipedia's MOS and WikiProject College Football determine the naming conventions for postseason games. In the case of a bowl game or championship game played in year x+1 but for the x regular season, we refer to it as the year in which it was played.

Media

I've uploaded photos I took from up in the nosebleeds to commons:Category:2019 College Football Playoff National Championship. Unfortunately Levi's has restrictions on camera lens length (and there was a chance it would rain...), so these were shot with my smaller point and shoot camera.

Nice, thanks! I'll look to incorporate some of those later tonight (if other editors don't beat me to it) Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:35, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article review progress box

Criteria: 1a. prose () 1b. MoS () 2a. ref layout () 2b. cites WP:RS () 2c. no WP:OR () 2d. no WP:CV ()

3a. broadness () 3b. focus () 4. neutral () 5. stable () 6a. free or tagged images () 6b. pics relevant ()

Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

1. Well-written

...aside from any all star games that followed... "all-star" instead of "all star"
The top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide faced the fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl and the second-ranked Clemson Tigers... Comma needed after "Orange Bowl"
Alabama marched downfield on their next drive, covering 75 yards in ten plays, to score a touchdown with opportunity to tie the game... Add "an" before "opportunity"
Clemson then capitalized with a five-yard pass from Lawrence to Etienne to make push the lead to 12 points, 28–16. I think "make push" is a typo
However, three plays later the scoring was opened by Clemson cornerback A. J. Terrell... Add a comma after "later"
...the successful extra point pushing their lead to 44–16. Change "pushing" to "pushed"
Clemson was then unable to take advantage of their possession, and punted for the first time since the first quarter... The comma after "possession" is not needed
...Clemson's offensive starters were removed from the game and Chase Brice was put in at quarterback. Add a comma after "game"
- All done as recommended. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2. Verifiable
Copyvio check passed.

There are some inconsistencies with the |website and |publisher parameters throughout the article- if they are the same (ex: ref 2 where the website is www.espn.com and the publisher is ESPN), they don't need to be repeated. Also, there needs to be consistency (ex: ref 2 has the website as www.espn.com while ref 12 has Espn.com and then ref 27 just has ESPN).
- Done. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dead links that need to be archived: 7
- Done. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Spot check
The most recent prior matchup of undefeated teams in a championship game had been the 2011 BCS National Championship Game, which saw 13–0 Auburn defeat 12–0 Oregon Ref. 16 does not mention that this was the most recent matchup of undefeated teams.
This is the same issue with ref. 17, which doesn't show FSU was the most recent undefeated champion.
- Went ahead and removed both of these; if I find a source that has these I can add them back later. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, if you can find a list of the previous national championship games with record that could work. -Riley1012 (talk) 22:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fans in attendance at Levi's Stadium saw the Clemson University Tiger Band and Alabama's Million Dollar Band perform. Is there a reference for this that is not WP:RSSELF?
- Don't know that this is super relevant so I went ahead and removed it. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No issues: 9, 10, 19, 23, 32

3. Broad
The article is broad and stays focused on its coverage of the game.

4. Neutral
The article is not biased in its coverage of the game

5. Stable
This article is stable day-to-day, no edit warring.

6. Illustrated
The images in the article are free and have relevant captions- great pictures from Legoktm.

@PCN02WPS: A few issues, but I am happy to pass once these are fixed. -Riley1012 (talk) 20:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
