Boise State University to Host BCS
Selection Party Dec. 3 at Taco Bell Arena
The Boise State University athletic department invites the public to a free Bowl
Championship Series (BCS) selection celebration at 6 p.m. Dec. 3 in Taco Bell
Arena, in conjunction with the announcement of the BCS game pairings. Doors will
open at 5 p.m.
The Bronco football team is in position to be selected to participate in one of
the five BCS bowl games after finishing the regular season with a perfect 12-0
record, its fifth Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championship, and a current
eighth place ranking in this week’s BCS standings.
A team from a non-BCS conference that wins its league title and ranks among the
top 12 teams in the final BCS standings receives an automatic selection to a BCS
bowl game. The games include the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the FedEx
Orange Bowl, the Allstate Sugar Bowl and the Tostitos BCS National Championship
game.
The selection show, which will be broadcast live by Fox Sports, will be shown on
the Bronco Vision screens in Taco Bell Arena beginning at 6 p.m. Bronco players
and coaches will be in attendance as they await the official word on where and
whom the team will play.
The Boise State Bookstore will set up a temporary Bronco Shop inside the arena
to sell WAC Championship and BCS merchandise. Global Travel, the Broncos’
official travel partner, will also be on hand for BCS bowl travel information
and reservations.
The celebration party will also include season highlights on Bronco Vision and a
short program following the selection show, including comments from head coach
Chris Petersen and the senior captains.
