That said, nine of the last 10 BCS national champions averaged at least 30 minutes of possession per game and 15 of the 20 title game participants fell into the same category. As a whole, the last 10 title winners averaged 31:43 and the 20 participants averaged 31:11. So it seems that it is a common element for teams that achieve at a high level.
