The Power Points System's intended purpose is to determine playoff teams and seeds. The playoffs would determine the national champion. That said, suppose the Power Points System determined the national champion. Here are the Power Points System's National Champions for the past 35 seasons under two different scenarios. For each season, the team listed first is the national champion if the title is awarded to the bowl winner with the most power points through regular season play. The team listed second is the national champion if the title is awarded to the bowl winner with the most power points through postseason play. These results are based on FBS games only without the benefit of equal maximum game regular season schedules and teams knowingly competing according to the Power Points System's rules. Between the two scenarios, 40 different teams won the national title under at least one scenario. 31 of the 40 teams won the AP and/or Coaches poll title. Among the nine teams that did not win a major poll title, six received the second most first place votes in the AP poll ranging from of a low of 3.5 (1980 Pittsburgh) to a high of 21 (1979 USC).
