BCS - 2006 - 2007 College Bowl Championship Series Winners

The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other games.

Access for teams without automatic berths will expand significantly beginning with the 2006 regular season, when the fifth game is added to the BCS structure. Four at-large berths will beavailable, as opposed to the previous two.Prior to 1998, the Big Ten and Pac 10 conferences did not participate in the series, so scheduling a definitive championship game was somewhat "hit or miss". #2 1994 Penn State and #1 1997 Michigan played in the Rose Bowl as part of of their conference's contractual obligation. There have also been several controversies regarding the formula the Bowl Championship Series uses for selecting the participating teams. (See main Bowl Championship Series article for further discussion of these controversies). Despite these problems, the game has succeeded in producing a winner that has captured or shared the National Championship in every season since it began play.
