For the first time since Florida destroyed Ohio State at the 2007 BCS National Title Game in Phoenix, AZ, the BCS Championship Game returns to Phoenix Stadium in 2010. The SEC has won each of the last four BCS championships, including Alabama's defeat of Texas in last year's game in Pasadena. Florida won in 2006 and 2008, with the LSU Tigers taking the trophy in 2007.
The 2008 BCS National Championship Game was again a sell-out record crowd of nearly 80,000 spectators as fans filled the Louisiana Superdome to the top. With the 2011 BCS National Title Game taking place at Phoenix Stadium, which boasts a capacity of more than 90,000 fans, attendance could set an all-time BCS record. Tickets, however, will be as hard to come by as ever, as the country's top two college football teams go head-to-head.
LSU, Ohio State, Alabama, and Florida have made sure that the SEC and Big Ten Conferences have been well represented in recent years. But college football is one sport where each game matters so much that sustaining such prominence is extremely difficult. So who will make a run at an unbeaten season? Can the USC Trojans throw their name in the hat, or could it possibly be the Oklahoma Sooners making nosie? What about the likes of the Florida State Seminoles, Miami Hurricanes, and Virginia Tech Hokies, or perhaps even the Michigan Wolverines?
