Paul M. Banks reports on National Championship Media Day
With another BCS title game in the books, I figured I would list some of the history, and the facts for ya regarding a decade plus of BCS National Championship games. This is the type of thing you would normally read in the sports section of a newspaper today, but I know that won’t happen because 1.) the medium is dying 2.) none of you read newspapers anymore. But there’s interesting, fun stuff here- so enjoy!
