[edit] Changes
This template was created as a replacement for a prior version that was deleted. It was designed to use as many of the same parameter names as possible to ease the transition, but there are some differences. This template used to be used at the top of game articles but was nominated for TfD for violations of MoS. This new design makes it a normal Infobox and also deprecates {{Infobox CollegeFB Bowl}} which was used to individual bowl games. This template is a combination of the old design and the Bowl template.
