April 27, 200521 yr Don't forget -- beginning in the 2006 season, the national championship game will be played after the four BCS bowls. Did I miss when this went down? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2047127
April 27, 200521 yr Yeah I saw that this morning and is that just an extra BCS game, or is it a pluse one game?
April 27, 200521 yr Author Yeah I saw that this morning and is that just an extra BCS game, or is it a pluse one game? 756178[/snapback] I read more about it last night. This is NOT a plus one. What this basically is is an extra BCS game. Its gonna work like this: -Big East still has its automatic bid -Instead of 8 BCS teams there will be 10 (2 extra at-large) -The 4 BCS bowls will be played the first week of January -The pre-determined BCS #1 and #2 will play in a championship game a week later. -Like now the championship will roll between the 4 main sites. So for instance there will be 2 orange bowls a year one year, 2 rose bowls the next instead, etc. -The teams are still pre-determined before the bowls, it is just and extra BCS bowl really.

April 27, 200521 yr Hopefully this gives mid majors a better chance to get the big BCS payoff, for instance hopefully it would rewards a team from the MAC or WAC if they were to have a dream season.
