10 Teams.

"Number 1" vs. "Number 2" after the weekend of the Championship Games will play in the "National Championship Game" which will be a week after the others, at one of the same sites of one of the other four BCS Bowls, on a rotating basis.

This year, the Fiesta Bowl is played, and then a week later in Arizona, the "National Championship Game" will be played.

I think its 8 teams still. The 4 BCS bowls are played, then the #1 and #2 teams after it play the big one.

yeah they added a 5th game... and by my research today... the 4 regular bcs games will be played as normall and then between the winning 4 teams they will pick a number 1 and 2 and they will play... so still only 8 teams... correct me if im wrong but thats what i gathered today.

Doesn't that equal 10?

(I swear, you try to help someone, and they don't believe you. )

No, it's 10 different teams. Redoing the "Top 2" after the bowls would have constituted a "plus one" situation, where they would be adding one game, and everyone was against that. All they did, was add a game, so that they could make more money.

Beginning with the post-season following the 2006 campaign, FOX Sports will telecast the FedEx Orange, Nokia Sugar and Tostitos Fiesta Bowls. Fox will also telecast the National Championship games in January 2007, January 2008, and January 2009.

ABC will continue to telecast the Rose Bowl through January 2014. It will also telecast the National Championship game when it is played in Pasadena in January 2010.

The BCS will use a "double hosting" format beginning with the games played after the 2006 regular season. Under this model there will be five (5) BCS games annually, including the National Championship game. The four BCS bowl games (Orange, Fiesta, Sugar, Rose) will be held annually, in addition to a National Championship game that will rotate among those four bowl sites each year. Once every four years, one of the aforementioned bowls will host two BCS games: its traditional bowl game and the National Championship game.

Under the double hosting format, the champions of the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10 and Southeastern Conferences will continue to play annually in one of the BCS bowls through the post-season following the 2007 regular season. In addition, one conference champion from among Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and Western Athletic Conferences will automatically qualify to play in a BCS bowl if it is: (1) ranked among the top 12 teams in the final BCS Standings; or (2) ranked among the top 16 teams in the final BCS Standings and ranked higher than the champion of one of the conferences whose champion has an annual automatic berth in a BCS bowl.

Under the new BCS arrangement Notre Dame will be guaranteed one of the at-large slots in a BCS bowl if it is ranked No. 8 or better in the final BCS Standings. It is also guaranteed annual payment for its participation in the BCS. In those seasons in which the Irish play in a BCS game, the school will receive $4.5 million (an amount equivalent that received by a conference that places a second team in a BCS bowl). In those seasons in which Notre Dame does not play in a BCS game, it is projected to be paid $1.3 million for its participation in the BCS arrangement.

As in the current BCS arrangement, no more than two teams from the same conference may play in the BCS bowls in any particular year.

After the 2007 season, automatic qualification standards will be applied to all 11 Division I-A conferences to determine the number of conferences whose champion will automatically qualify for a BCS game for the next two seasons ('08 and '09). Each conference will be evaluated on each of the previous four seasons ('04, '05, '06, '07), based on membership during the '07 season. The champions of no fewer than five conferences and no more than seven conferences will have annual automatic berths in the BCS bowl games played following the 2008 and 2009 regular season.

It is anticipated that payments to those conferences whose champions have an annual automatic berth in a BCS bowl game will be approximately $17 million following the 2006 regular season and increase to $18.5 million for the BCS bowl games played following the 2009 regular season. Any conference placing a second team in one of the BCS bowls will continue to receive a payment of $4.5 million for such team.

Further Proof Backing My Point, From CURRENT BCS Commish, Mike Slive...

April 26, 2006

BCS Coordinator Mike Slive's Statements from BCS meetings in Phoenix.

"The BCS has voted to expand the pool of eligible teams from 12 to 14. This reflects the increase in teams playing in the BCS from eight to 10. To be eligible for the at-large pool, a team must have nine wins and be in the top 14 in the final BCS standings."

"We will continue our relationship with the Harris Poll. We are looking at the possibility of a Sunday release for the weekly BCS standings and have been working with all of the parties involved to try and make that happen."

"There really were not many major issues that we had to deal with. This week, we conducted the business of the BCS."

"We're working to try and find a balance to provide the traditional bowl experience but also recognize that with the magnitude of the bowl, we don't want to take teams away from preparing for the game."

Ah okay, I thought they implemented the plus one version. The official version does nothing to help with the 3 undefeated major conference team scenario AT ALL.

Nah, it's just for extra teams in the BCS, a'la 2004 Cal and 2005 Oregon.

Given how well those two performed in their bowls, it's ridiculous to use their whining as a reason to add another game.

Just who are the ''powers that be'' who decide whether or not the Div1A football champ is to be decided by a BSC bowl system or a playoff system?
