Not to nitpick, but the BCS championship game isn't a bowl anymore.  All of the bowls, BCS or otherwise, are the same.  They are exhibition games played for profit.  Some have big pay, some not so big, that's the only difference.  But other than that, they don't mean anything.  Over half the teams in the FBS go to bowl games, so it's pretty funny when you hear that a team was successful because they went to a bowl.  7-5, lots of them, go to bowls.  6-6, lots of them, go to bowls.  Hooray, we got invited to the Allstate Sugar bowl, or the Emerald Bowl, or the Papa Johns bowl, or the ChikfilA bowl, or the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.  Hooray, we won the Capitol One bowl, or the Outback bowl, or the Insight Bowl, or the Pacific Life Holiday bowl.  Awesome.
