[edit] End of season
I think it is more proper to say that the season ends with the National Championship Game, not the Hula Bowl. I consider the three "all-star" games to be post-seasonal play. I propose we say in the intro that the season ends with the national championship game, and then to mention that the season is followed by 3 additional all-star games.

- As of 2006, there are six all-star games. We have done this in the 2005-06 NCAA bowl games article. NoseNuggets 8:25 PM US EST Dec 3 2006
[edit] Mistake?
The page has both the Capital One bowl and the Outback Bowl being BigTen #2 vs. SEC #2, is that right? Papercrab 15:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- It should Be Big Ten #1 vs. SEC. #1. BTW, no matter what happens from here on out, Ohio State will play January 8th, and because of that, the Rose Bowl will get the BCS at-large bid. NoseNuggets 7:38 PM US EDT Nov 19 2006.
[edit] Bowl games
This is an encyclopedia with true facts. The Bowl game page should be updated when teams ACCEPT bowl bids, not when they are "IN TALKS"
- The Los Angeles Times reported this morning (Dec. 3) that the BCS bowls were decided before the actual announcements on their website. In addition, most bids were handed out throughout the afternoon as a result. NoseNuggets 8:23 PM US EST Dec 3 2006.
[edit] ACC Bowl bids
Virginia Tech's AD, Jim Weaver, announced on our coaches' call-in show that the FSU and Miami bids are conditioned on Virginia Tech being released by the BCS. I found an article mentioning this and have linked it. If the Rose Bowl decides on a rematch between Notre Dame and one of (USC/Michigan), then Virginia Tech would possibly be in the Sugar Bowl. He is hopeful that the rematch will happen, but honestly, I think that's wishful thinking on his part. Still, though, as of right now, FSU and Miami have been "conditionally invited", so I have added a note reflecting that. Obviously, we don't want random speculation, guesses, predictions, or indications that the parties have just been talking, but I'll leave it up to others here if "conditionally invited" teams should be removed completely. I think that displaying the team with a footnote is probably the best idea. BigDT 00:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bowl links
Do we want the bowl games to link to the general page for the game or for the specific year? i.e. Fiesta Bowl or 2007 Fiesta Bowl?--NMajdan•talk 23:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I would say they should link to the specific years. They have the most specific information about this year's game. Also, from 2007 Fiesta Bowl, it is very easy to get to Fiesta Bowl if that is what the reader is looking for. Going the oppposite direction is harder. Johntex\talk 15:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] picture mistake
the dot in the picture that denotes the site of the BCS's Orange Bowl is incorrectly placed. The game is in Miami, but the dot in the picture seems to be in the Orlando area, the site of the Citrus Bowl. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.136.47.101 (talk) 19:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC).
