Steven: I *know* the Rose Bowl and BCS game are different. I have a comment right before this awaiting moderation (and, guys, take your time, I know you’re busy) that provides sources to ABC’s airing of this game.

Chris, you are wrong. Fred is right.

ABC has the Rose Bowl, which is played on Jan. 1st. Fox has every other BCS bowl game, including the championship game, which just happens to be played at the Rose Bowl. Fox will broadcast the BCS game in 2010.

Basically, the 2010 BCS Championship game is NOT the same thing as the 2010 Rose Bowl.

Fred: ABC has it next year because it’s at the Rose Bowl. This has been the plan since the BCS started.

Next year’s game is on Fox.

ESPN gets the BCS starting in 2011.

Now that the game is moving to ESPN (next year’s may still be on ABC as scheduled, but I hope they’ll move it)…how about a 7:00 or 7:30 start time? 8:15 is ridiculously late.
