[edit] Way to go

Wikipedia had the news about Florida before ESPN, Fox, and Yahoo. Unless it was a hoax. Nice work all, way to make Wikipedia the go-to page.--Skeenbr0 01:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fiesta Bowl

I'm confused, OSU and Florida are supposed to be playing in the championship game and it's supposed to be at the Fiesta Bowl, but Boise State and Oklahoma are playing in the Fiesta Bowl. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DavidFuzznut (talk • contribs) 04:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

The BCS now has 5 games, the four big bowls plus the national title game. Now since the Fiesta Bowl is supposedly the host for the #1-#2 matchup for 2007, there will be two games which will be held at the Fiesta Bowl's site, the Boise St.-OU (Fiesta Bowl) and OSU-Florida (National Title Game). --Howard the Duck 10:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Future games

Per discussion at AfD (on the 2009 and 2010 games) and also at the WikiProject for College Football - articles on individual games should not be created until after previous year's game is played. (Unless some significant info is available sooner.) Therefore, I have directed the 2009 and 2010 articles back to this page and I have removed the links from the game table in this article.

[edit] Should we do this?

Should we put this info bar in there?

Of course every year it changes sponsors (and thus names) and locations, so it could become quite long.--Porsche997SBS 02:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BCSGameNO08.jpg

Image:BCSGameNO08.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
