Went to the wire, with both teams leading inside a minute to play before NDSU scored last and put away its fourth consecutive FCS championship--a first in playoff history.
This game was everything you hope the FBS championship will be; an entertainment of the highest order and truly indicative of the best team winning the title--no questions asked.
The FCS playoff began, as is customary every year, with 16 teams and winnowed down to today's final game in Frisco, Texas.
It was the culmination in other words of a true championship playoff, unlike the College Football Playoff, which was decided when Condi Rice threatened to have the playoff committee members tortured if they did not abide by her desire to leave TCU out of consideration this year.
Thanks to CD for pointing out this New Republic piece by Chuck Thompson. The writer eloquently explains why the new so-called national championship format--the College Football Playoff--isn't a playoff at all, and is far from an improvement over the late, unlamented BCS system.
