From the controversial picks of top teams, up until the final
game in January - the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) national championship is the ultimate showdown in college football.
First introduced as the cap to the 1998 college bowl season, the final game in the series was rotated among the four top bowl games - the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. Since with the 2006 season, however, the BCS National Championship Game has become a separate event traditionally played a week after the New Year.
Today, with prices hovering around the $1,000 mark per ticket, the final deciding BCS matchup in 2012 is scheduled to be played at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, LA. on January 9, 2012 in a contest between LSU and Alabama.
For those who can't get to the stadium in New Orleans, join millions of other college football fans who will be gathering around the TV on the night of January 9 with complete coverage beginning at 8 PM
ET on ESPN.
