*College football in the ISFL universe - Southie - 07-13-2021
I talked about this in my first podcast but one of the things that fascinates me about the ISFL is how the NCAA College Football world has been affected by the ISFL. The majority of ISFL/DSFL talent that enters each year's draft comes from NCAA division one college football with a few notable outliers. And the ISFL has been running for close to thirty seasons which means that in our timeline there have been at least thirty NCAA division one champions crowned but since there’s no official record of these events and players biographies contradict each other (A player may have won a Rose Bowl against USC while playing for Clemson while a player playing for Clemson that same year may have a Cotton Bowl win against Florida on their resume.) All that’s left is conjecture. This topic is my best guess at what has happened in college football since the league started. My criteria here is simple: I'm looking at the ISFL drafts for each year and guessing what team won the recent National Championship based on the talent that went to the school. I’m using the DSFL as opposed to the ISFL because the DSFL is the league that drafts directly from college. Except for the first two years because there was no DSFL draft then. I've also included the real life winner up until 2020 just to contrast the two.
2016 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: LSU
Real Life: University Of Alabama
I'm going with LSU here because they had two hall-of-famers in Dan Miller and Antoine Delacour. Michigan actually had the highest numbers in this draft which could mean they won the National Championship but since almost all of those players were ISFL bust and LSU had seven players drafted as well I think Miller and Delacour could lead the Tigers to victory. It would also make sense that LSU won the National Championship in the ISFL universe when an SEC team in Alabama won it in real life. I think the NCAA Championship game that year was LSU - 24 Michigan - 17.
2017 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University of Michigan
Real Life: Clemson University
One year after their loss to LSU in the championship game, the Wolverines returned to the big game and redeemed themselves. There aren't any standout teams in this year's draft so the Wolverines win just by having the highest number of drafted players. They probably end up facing LSU once more and this time defeats them. Michigan - 28 LSU - 10.
2018 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University of Michigan
Real Life: Alabama Crimson Tide
Michigan became the first college football dynasty in the ISFL universe after appearing in the first three NCAA championship games and winning two of them. While in real life the SEC's run of domination continues when it comes to the college football playoffs, It's an all Big Ten matchup between the University Of Michigan Wolverines and the Wisconsin Badgers as LSU fails to make it three in a row in the championship game. The Wolverines take down the Badgers 14 -6 in a close hard fought game.
2019 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Ohio State
Real Life: Alabama Crimson Tide
It's another all Big Ten national championship game as Ohio State Takes on The University Of Michigan. This is UoM's fourth straight national championship game and while they are the two-time defending champions they lose to their biggest rivals Ohio State - 35 Michigan - 12
2020 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Ohio State
Real Life: Alabama Crimson Tide
If you thought back-to-back national championship games for Michigan was unrealistic then this year's national championship between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Boise State Broncos should blow your mind. Thirteen years after their legendary upset of the Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl, The Broncos play in their first ever national championship game and lose to the Buckeyes. Ohio State - 27 Boise State - 24.Meanwhile in real life the SEC's domination in national championship games continues as Alabama reigns supreme once again.
2021 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Texas
Once more a non-SEC team wins the college football national championship in the ISFL universe. This time the Longhorns picked up their first national championship since 2005 against the University Of Miami beating them 35-28 in the final game of the season.
The Quarterback-Runningback duo of Cole McCoy and Kevin Kendrick prove unstoppable as they lead the Longhorns to their fifth national championship in school history.
2022 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Syracuse University
Things just get weirder in the college football world of the ISFL as famed basketball school Syracuse takes out Clemson in an all ACC national championship game. The trio of Chad, Thad and Brad Pennington were able to best future ISFL hall of famer Childish Gambino to win the title, Syracuse - 10 Clemson - 3.
2023 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Florida State Seminoles
If you didn’t think college football in the ISFL was weird then this season should seal it for you as the Kansas Jayhawks made the college football national championship. Of particular note is that in the real world the Jayhawks have a lifetime record of 588-650-58 with a poultry (get the pun?) 6-6 bowl record. The other half of the game wasn’t as strange however as they faced fellow ACC brethren Florida State in the title game. University Of Kansas - 9 FSU - 20
2024 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Michigan State Spartans
Michigan seems to be the hotbed for amatuer football in the ISFL universe as the Spartans pick up the national championship in 2024 against the University Of Maryland. It’s MSU’s first national championship since 1966. MSU - 21 Maryland Terrapins - 13.
2025 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Ohio State
The Big Ten dominates college football in the ISFL universe. Ohio State wins its second National championship in five years as they beat the LSU Tigers in the big game , Ohio State - 42 LSU - 14
2026 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University OF Hawaii
The Rainbow Warriors become the first non-power five team to win the National Championship. In a surprising matchup for the national championship, It’s the University Of Hawaii vs The Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This is the third straight national championship game for the Big Ten but this time they lost, University Of Hawaii - 24 Rutgers Scarlet Knights - 21.
2027 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Nebraska
Another year, Another Big Ten national champion in the ISFL. The Cornhuskers take down Boston College to win their sixth national championship in history and their first since 1997.
University Of Nebraska - 35 BC - 6
2028 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: LSU Tigers
The Tigers make their fourth national championship game in the ISFL universe and defeat the Texas Longhorns to take home the prize. LSU - 21 University Of Texas - 10
2029 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Ohio State
This is an interesting season as technically the championship game should be the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Boston University Terriers. The only problem is that while Boston University is a division one university, they haven’t had a football team since 1997. That gives us another all Big Ten national championship game as Ohio State takes on the Wisconsin Badgers for the College Football Playoff National Championship. Ohio State gets it down once again to win their fourth national championship in the ISFL universe. Ohio State - 13 Wisconsin Badgers - 10.
2030 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Rutgers
The Scarlet Knights returned to the national championship game after three seasons and avenged their defeat against the Rainbow Warriors. They face the University Of Alabama in the title game and handedly defeat them. Rutgers - 35 Alabama - 13.
2031 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Oregon
The PAC-12 became the last power five conference to win the ISFL College Football National Championship as the Oregon Ducks took the title in 2031. In fact it’s an all Pac-12 title game as the Ducks take on the UCLA Bruins in the championship game. Oregon defeats the Bruins to become the first PAC-12 national champions in ISFL history.
University Of Oregon - 56 UCLA - 37
2032 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: LSU
The Tigers return to the national championship game for the first time since 2028 and find themselves up against the Florida State Seminoles in the big game. The Tigers are able to get the job with help from safeties Peter Parker and Wayne Howyanow.
LSU - 17 FSU - 0
2033 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Penn State
The Nittany Lions take out the Stanford Cardinals to win their third national championship in school history and the first since 1986. Penn State - 35 Stanford -24
2034 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: LSU
Behind the talents of star running back Darrel Williams the Tigers win their second national championship in three years against Arizona State. LSU - 24 Arizona State - 3.
2035 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: Michigan State Spartans
This one might be a bit controversial. Technically Ohio State had more players drafted in this draft then MSU but Riles McTackle went to Ohio State Lima which is a satellite college of Ohio State proper. That makes him ineligible to play for the Buckeyes and gives the Spartans the national championship in 2035. In fact, The Buckeyes didn't even make the game this year as Notre Dame had the same number of players as them drafted and a higher average draft position.
MSU - 31 Notre Dame - 24
2036 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Washington
The Huskies win their third national championship in school history against the University Of Texas Longhorns. Future ISFL MVP Tatsu Nakamura helps lead the Huskies to Victory. Washington - 42 Texas - 28
2037 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: LSU
My initial thought that the SEC was bad in ISFL has turned out to be incorrect. It’s just that instead of Alabma dominating the world of college football, It’s LSU. It’s a rematch of the 2025 national championship game in 2037 as the LSU Tigers take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. This time the Tigers are able to get the job done and claim their fifth national championship in the ISFL universe.
LSU - 21 Ohio State - 14
2038 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Florida
The Florida Gators finally win a national championship in the ISFL universe. They actually take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in an all-SEC national title game. Despite Alabama’s 26-14 record in real life the Gators are able to upset roll tide and bring the national championship back to the sunshine state.
Florida - 33 Alabama - 21
2039 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: University Of Minnesota
The Golden Gophers win their first national championship since nineteen sixty against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Minnesota - 9 Rutgers - 7
2040 College Football National Champions:
ISFL Universe: LSU
LSU wins another national championship in the ISFL. This is an identical rematch of the twenty-thirty seven national championship game as Ohio State takes on the LSU Tigers for the national championship. Once again the Tigers beat the Buckeyes, LSU - 31 Ohio State - 16

Georgia Tech just quietly having minor success through me. So that’s like…the Sun Bowl or something each season?

this is a really cool idea for media. i deliberately avoided talking about national championships with delacour sr because of the likelihood of contradictions etc, then created players from colleges where that wouldnt be an issue (howard, harvard) but its really cool to think about the expanded ISFL universe in this way
