BCS Championship Game History |
The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) began in 1999 and gave way to the College Football Playoff after the 2013 title game. This championship game pitted the top two teams in the country according to its computer rankings. Prior to Florida State's win over Auburn in the final BCS game, teams from the SEC had won the previous seven titles, including three by Alabama.
Florida State appeared in the first three BCS championships, winning just once (2000) against Virginia Tech at the Louisiana Superdome. The Seminoles failed to cover in the favorite role in losses to Tennessee (1999) and Oklahoma (2001), while combining to score just 18 points in those defeats. The University of Miami dominated Nebraska at the Rose Bowl in 2002 in an easy 23-point triumph, but the Canes were tripped up the following season against Ohio State in double-overtime as 12-point favorites (the highest number a team has laid in BCS championship history).
