There has never been anything official about the CFB Playoff or the BCS. If you go undefeated, you can claim anything

Boise State has won a few National Championships as well

Actually, there is something official about the CFP, as Aresco said the other day, the CFP is the process the 10 FBS conferences and ND contractually agreed to to select their national champion.

Also, you don't have to be undefeated to claim anything, you just made that up. If Troy claims a national title and wants to hold a parade, you couldn't stop them either.

NCAA championships are official

The BCS and "Playoff" are pretend TV championships

Better tell the NCAA they are "pretend"

The NCAA doesn't name, denote, sanction, adjudicate, or officially recognize FBS (highest level) football national championships. It never has in its entire history and still does not. FBS level of play is, and always has been, outside of the NCAA's championship purview.

All the NCAA has done is list the selections of other entities (often termed "selectors" and meaning things like the AP, Coaches' poll, FWAA, CFRA, BCS, etc) in its records books or other websites. The website you linked isn't complete or official, nor contemporaneous.

I agree with this. The NCAA does not denote/sanction/formally recognize any FBS champions, ever.

That said, those who say that because the NCAA doesn't do this that these championships are all 'mythical' are mistaken. BCS and CFP titles are not mythical, they are the contractually-agreed on champions of all the member institutions, in the same way that the Super Bowl winner is the agreed-on champion of all the NFL franchises.
