Guys, the Fiesta Bowl is not the national championship game next year. The national championship game will just be at the Fiesta bowl site. The way it is now set up, each bowl game will be played every year, with none of them being the national championship. The national championship will not be a bowl game, it will simply be known as "The National Championship Game". That game will rotate between the 4 BCS bowl sites and will be played a week after the BCS games.
Here is the future schedule... Following 2006 Regular Season Jan. 1, 2007 - Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Jan. 1, 2007 - Rose Bowl Jan. 2, 2007 - FedEx Orange Bowl Jan. 3, 2007 - Nokia Sugar Bowl Jan. 8, 2007 - National Championship Game (Phoenix) Following 2007 Regular Season Jan. 1, 2008 - Nokia Sugar Bowl Jan. 1, 2008 - Rose Bowl Jan. 2, 2008 - Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Jan. 3, 2008 - FedEx Orange Bowl Jan. 8, 2008 - National Championship Game (New Orleans) Following 2008 Regular Season Jan. 1, 2009 - FedEx Bowl Jan. 1, 2009 - Rose Bowl Jan. 2, 2009 - Nokia Sugar Bowl Jan. 5, 2009 - Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Jan. 8, 2009 - National Championship Game (Miami) Following 2009 Regular Season Jan. 1, 2010 - Nokia Sugar Bowl Jan. 1, 2010 - Rose Bowl Jan. 4, 2010 - Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Jan. 5, 2010 - FedEx Orange Bowl Jan. 8, 2010 - National Championship Game (Pasadena)
Not exactly. The two teams playing in the national championship game will not play in the BCS bowls. So it is just a 5th game...not a "plus one". Sorry for the disapointment.
i was one of the biggest fans of ty willingham when ND hired him and thought it was a great hire. after his first year, i was assured he was the right fit but upon further review he got every break that first year winning like 2 or 3 close games without even scoring an offensive touchdown if i remember correctly. they never had any identity on offense his entire tenure and they weren't coached up so to speak its night and day now. im afraid weis is gonna cause us to have to stomach ND in the mix from here out.
