College Bowl Games Schedule 2010 -The Bowl Championship Series is a selection system designed to give the top two ranked teams in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) an opportunity to compete in a “national championship game”. This championship is intended as a surrogate for a playoff system since the NCAA does not formally determine a champion in this category.
The BCS relies on a combination of polls and computer selection methods to determine relative team rankings, and to narrow the field to two teams to play in the BCS National Championship Game held after the other college bowl games. The winner of this game is crowned the BCS national champion, and is guaranteed at least a share of the national championship.
Upcoming Schedule:
In January 2010, FOX will continue to air three BCS bowl games (Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl), but ABC will air the BCS National Championship Game due to its contract with the Rose Bowl, who is hosting the event. Starting with the 2010-2011 season, ESPN will start airing the games after outbidding FOX for the television rights.
