[edit] Controversy

This controversy is relevant when schools in smaller conferences are sometimes snubbed in favor of schools with a larger fan base and thus higher television ratings. This is the whole issue surrounding todays BCS vs playoff controversy. It is very relevant

[edit] 1980 results

Whoever keeps changing the 1980 results, please stop. Ohio State lost that game 31-19 to Penn State. Go to the FIesta Bowl website here [1]. Official results. I go to Ohio State and I wish they had won the game too, but they didn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.182.120 (talk • contribs)

[edit] National championships

Please do not add * next to games that were not BCS national championship games. It doesn't matter if the team went on to win the national championship. Only use the * if it was a BCS national championship game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.161.139.7 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Logo

I've updated the Fiesta Bowl logo, as the previous version was cropped. jareha 19:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BCS title games

Technically the Fiesta Bowl joined the BCS in 1998, having their first title game then, had the second title game in the 2002 season, and are scheduled for the third title game in the 2006 season, even though the games were and will be played in 1999, 2003, and 2007. Should this information be changed in the opening paragraph? Dlong 03:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Qualification

This article doesn't really explain too well how the teams qualify to play in the Fiesta Bowl. Can someone explain in the article, or point out here in the discussion - to a non-american - how the teams are selected to play in this one? Thanks. 211.31.28.245 (talk) 15:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
