BCS Title Game Tickets

BCS Title Game Tickets
Ever since the advent of the Bowl Championship Series in 1998, fans have had the opportunity to purchase BCS title game tickets. However, the format of this championship clash has changed substantially over the years. From 1999 through 2006, the game featured the #1 ranked team versus the #2 ranked team in one of the four Bowl Games that participated in the BCS, the Fiesta, Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls. The first such match-up occurred on January 4, 1999, with the Tennessee Volunteers becoming the first ever BCS champions with a 23-16 victory over Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. The following year, it was New Orleans, Louisiana's turn to host the national championship contest, with Florida State downing Virginia Tech, 46-29, at the Sugar Bowl. Each of the four bowl games hosted the BCS championship twice before changes were made. Prior to the start of the 2006 football season, Bowl Championship Series officials decided to create an additional game, to be annually played on January 8 at the site of one of the four previously mentioned bowl games. Thus was the official BCS National Championship Game born.

Before BCS Title Game Tickets
Of course, any college football fan worth his or her salt knows they were crowning national champions long before BCS title game tickets came along. Originally, coaches and the sports media simply elected national champions based on their opinion of which team was the best in college football. In fact, there were times when the top two rated schools never took the field against each other, leading to much speculation and conjecture. In the early 1990s, the commissioners of the Big East, ACC, and several other conferences began working on what would become the Bowl Coalition, an agreement that attempted to create predetermined bowl conference match-ups in the hopes of determining a true champion on the field. But the limited scope of the match-ups, in addition to the fact that the Big Ten and the Pac-10 were not involved, doomed the Coalition from the very beginning. In 1995, the system was tweaked to place the ACC, Big East, Big Eight, SEC and Southwest Conference champions into the Orange, Fiesta and Sugar Bowls. Over time, more changes occurred to the system. The Big Eight and SWC merging to form the Big 12 and the Rose Bowl, the Big Ten and the Pac-10 eventually came on board, and the foundation for the modern day BCS system of determining a national champion was established.

Re: BCS Title Game Tickets

Unless the unthinkable happens, it looks like the Ohio State Buckeyes will walk their way to another National Championship. They're just better than everyone else.

But they have to play the game so you never know.

Re: BCS Title Game Tickets

You're speaking of Boise State, right? You're right that they probably would not sell tickets and travel as well, but more to the point, I think its a strength of schedule issue. Would Boise beat USC head to head? Michigan? Florida? I don't think so, so even though they have the better RECORD, they aren't necessarily the better TEAM. At least that's how I see it.

Anyone lucky enough to get tickets? Anyone going to the BCS title game?

Re: BCS Title Game Tickets

I am not a Boise fan first of all.

All I am saying is that usc gets more hipe than they deserve but there are teams a lot better than them.

I also know that any team can win or loose on any given day

Re: BCS Title Game Tickets

Unless Arkansas can really come back (they've started...they're down just 14-17 in the 3rd)...Florida will be playing Ohio State...and get murdered in the process.

Re: BCS Title Game Tickets

I don't think Florida goes to the title game, win or lose. Even if they win, it's going to be an ugly win. It's gonna be Michigan.
