DEL.ICIO.USName the “Big Game”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Both LSU head coach Les Miles and BCS administrator Bill Hancock remarked this week on how odd it is that college football’s national championship game doesn’t have a catchier moniker.
“We’re all hoping that something evolves — we really are,” Hancock said Thursday. “We got hundreds of suggestions from the public last year, but not so many this year. Maybe people have run out of ideas.
“Names are a funny thing. You could probably hire all the PR folks in the world, and they might come up with a moniker that would be disliked by a lot of people.”
Since classic titles like the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl are already spoken for, what are the alternatives?
If you had the power to bestow a name on the ultimate college football contest, what would you call it?
After all, as Miles commented: “It kind of needs something”.

The Busted Bowl, because the BCS ranking should be illegal. This year they got busted with Georgia and USC standing so tall in their bowl games.

call it the College Bowl
like the old tv show..and date them back to 1998 and the first BCS game..Tn / FSU would be College Bowl I..the one coming up would be College Bowl X.
Either that or call it the “Annual Ohio State beatdown by the SEC” game.

I would call it the BS Game from B(C)S Shame!
USC and Georgia makes for a better Championship game!
It’s high tide someone made the old NCAA farts find a new way to make money with bowls and still have a playoff system using the top 24 teams in the nation!
All that I can see is how money can mask ignorance in our so called institutions of higher learning!
