The new BCS arrangement that
begins in January 2007 further expands the opportunities
for all Division I-A college football teams
to compete in one of the BCS bowl games. The
new arrangement will continue to involve the
Fiesta, Orange, Rose, and Sugar Bowls and will
add a new game, a BCS National Championship
Game, to be played in one of the host cities
approximately one week after the regular bowl
game played in that city. Under the new arrangement,
unless such team qualifies for the BCS National
Championship Game, the champions of the Big
Ten and Pac-10 will continue to play in the
Rose Bowl, the SEC champion will continue to
play in the Sugar Bowl, the Big 12 champion
will continue playing in the Fiesta Bowl, the
ACC champion will continue to host the Orange
Bowl, and the Big East champion will play in
one of the four BCS bowl games.
In addition, if a champion of Conference USA,
the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West
Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, or the
Western Athletic Conference finishes the regular
season either (a) ranked in the top 12 or (b)
ranked in the top 16 and ranked higher than
the champion of a conference with an annual
automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls, then
it will be guaranteed a slot in one of the BCS
bowl games. Notre Dame will be guaranteed one
of the at-large slots in a BCS bowl if it is
ranked No. 8 or better in the final BCS Standings.
It is also guaranteed annual payment for its
participation in the BCS.
As in the current BCS arrangement, no more
than two teams from the same conference may
play in the BCS bowls in any particular year.
The 2006-07
bowl lineup will start in San Diego and end
in Glendale, Ariz. Here's a look at the schedule
from the Poinsettia Bowl to the BCS Championship
Game. As always look around Wager On Football's
