Bill Walsh '95 also had the option to go to a playoff system or to bowl games. I didn't play the '98 version, but I know NCAA '99 let you have a 16-team playoff at the end of the season if you wanted to. They kept the playoff option in the game until the final PS1 version (NCAA 2001). Once the series went to PS2, the playoff feature never came back.

NCAA Football 2001 was the last game in the series to include a playoff option. I believe EA had to take it out because the NCAA forced them to.
