Following the 2009 college football regular season, the BowlChampionship Series will determine the National Championship. For the thirdstraight year, the BCS National Championship Game will stand alone from thefour traditional BCS bowls. The game will be hosted by each of the bowlsonce during a four-year cycle.

The BCS National Championship Game presented by Citi will beplayed at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Jan. 8 and be hosted by the RoseBowl.

Other BCS games following the 2009 regular season include theRose Bowl on Jan. 1 at 5 p.m. EST, Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 at 8:30p.m. EST, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 4 at 8 p.m. ET and the FedEx OrangeBowl on Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. EST.

The BCS consists of the FedEx Orange, Allstate Sugar, Rose,Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and the BCS National Championship Game. The confer-ences with automatic berths include the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big12, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conferences.

FOX Sports will televise all of the Bowl Championship Series gamesin 2010, with the exception of the Rose Bowl and the BCS NationalChampionship, which will be televised by ABC Sports.

The Bowl Championship Series guarantees a matchup between col-lege football's top two teams in a true national championship game.

Below are the results of the National Championship Games sincethe inception of the BCS:

2009 BCS National Championship Game -- Florida 24, Oklahoma 142008 BCS National Championship Game -- LSU 38, Ohio State 242007 BCS National Championship Game -- Florida 41, Ohio State 142006 Rose Bowl -- Texas 41, Southern California 382005 Orange Bowl -- Southern California 55, Oklahoma 192004 Sugar Bowl -- LSU 21, Oklahoma 142003 Fiesta Bowl -- Ohio State 31, Miami (Fla.) 24 [2OT]2002 Rose Bowl -- Miami (Fla.) 37, Nebraska 142001 Orange Bowl -- Oklahoma 13, Florida State 22000 Sugar Bowl -- Florida State 46, Virginia Tech 291999 Fiesta Bowl -- Tennessee 23, Florida State 16

There have been nine different national champions in the 11 yearsin the BCS and 10 different teams play in the national championship game.

A Division I-A independent team or champion of Conference USA,Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt or Western Athletic conferences willbe guaranteed a slot in one of the five BCS games should that team be ranked12th or higher in the final BCS standings or if a team is ranked in the top 16and its ranking is higher than that of a champion from a conference that hasan automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls. Should two such teams reachthis critieria, the BCS will take the highest ranked team in the final BCSstandings.

The BCS uses regional consideration regarding team selection.Specifically, as a member of the BCS, the Rose Bowl will host the Big Ten andPac-10 champions in those years in which either the Rose Bowl does not havethe national championship game or the Big Ten and Pac-10 champion is notranked No. 1 or No. 2. Other "regional consideration" tie-ins include the SECchampion in the Sugar Bowl, the ACC champion in the Orange Bowl and theBig 12 champion in the Fiesta Bowl.
