While the sports betting players that can’t stand the college bowl system continue to complain that they want a playoff, the fact of the matter is that the BCS has no intentions of changing its current format, so the Betonline players might as well make themselves familiar with how it works. There is no exact science to the format for the system, however there are certain pieces that will always be part of the way in which the bowl games are listed.
The one NCAA football bowl game for which there is an exact science is the BCS Championship or national title game, which will always pin the top-two ranked teams in the BCS rankings against one another to allow the chance for the winner to be called the national champion. While the SEC has maintained its dominance in the BCS Championship for six straight years, the conference champions from the SEC would end up in the Sugar Bowl if not in the national title game, where it would play another top opponent according to the BCS rankings. The Rose Bowl features the PAC-12 champion against the Big Ten champion if both are available to play, and if one of the two isn’t they would then again turn to the BCS rankings. The ACC champion plays in the Orange Bowl if ineligible for the BCS Championship, just like the Big 12 champion will play in the Fiesta Bowl if available. The list goes on with possible listings for each bowl game with a certain criteria for all games, and considering that the current bowl system won’t be changing in the near future, it’s a good idea to read it.
