Many call the BCS National Championship Game the absolute highlight of the college football bowl (post)season and THE game of the BCS bowls. The intention of the last game of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is to determine the national champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The very first time the BCS Championship game was played was in 1998 at the conclusion of the 'regular' college football season.
Back in the late 90's the game was initially rotated among the four participating (Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and Sugar Bowl) bowl games. As time went by, beginning with the 2006 season, the BCS National Championship Game became a separate event played in the week following New Year's Day, which for the 2009 season will be on January 7, 2010 at the famous Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns are matched-up to win the trophy this time. The stadium where the championship is held rotates amongst the sites of the BCS bowl. The locations for the next few years are:
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona in 2011
Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2012
LandShark Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida in 2013
Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California in 2014
The title sponsor for the 2010 game (concluding the 2009 season) is Citi. Depending on who the title sponsor of that year's bowl host location is, will also be the title sponsor for the championship game.
