[edit] 2008 Orange Bowl

Check external links

2008 Orange Bowl is one of the finest articles to yet come out of the knowledge factories at Wikiproject College Football. Crafted with the finest in citations, photographs, and content, the raw material was mined from the richest veins of Internet ore and forged in the fires of [insert impressive-sounding, yet humorous name here]. Okay, okay. This article has been through a GA review and is the second (of hopefully many) Featured Article candidates to come out of the 2007-2008 College football bowl season. It's got plenty of photographs (and I'll be adding more once I work out some computer issues), and the post-game effects section will be filled out as events mandate.

This article is a comprehensive, complete, and impartial look at one of the five most important postseason bowl games during the 2007 season, and easily meets all the FAC standards. It was built in the mold of 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl, itself a featured article and former main-page participant. Please look over this article and let me know if you've got any questions, comments, concerns, or slanderous accusations of impropriety on my part, and I'll do my best to address them.

At a first glance I can see a couple of manual of style issues that need to be resolved before this can be considered for WP:FA status.

  • En-dash should be used to delimit scores, not hyphen (see WP:DASH).
  • Headings should follow WP:HEAD.
