Title

From the Pasadena Tournament of Roses: "However, the BCS National Championship Game, which is not a Rose Bowl Game, will have a title sponsor. The title of the game will be the Citi BCS National Championship Game." Ucla90024 (talk) 19:12, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No need to call it National Championship "Game", changing its name. Since when Super Bowl is called "Super Bowl Game"? Ucla90024 (talk) 17:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The name is in fact National Championship "Game". I remember Thom Brennaman introduce the 2007 game as the "first ever Tostitos BCS National Championship Game". If you change it, the template will not function as it is meant to. Bcspro (talk) 02:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then the template is flawed. What Thom was talking about is the "game", not the "Game". It's a redundancy. That's why Final Four is not called "Final Four Games". Maybe NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship should be called "NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship Games". Ucla90024 (talk) 05:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- As currently posted on http://www.tournamentofroses.com/bcs/ they also specifically use "2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game" with a capital "G" in "Game" in the three paragraphs of prose on that page (e.g. "The 2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game will mark the culmination of yet another thrilling college football season..." [emphasis added]). So I do not see a problem here. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's why the logo has "Game" on it? (please see all four logos) Ucla90024 (talk) 06:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Tostitos BCS National Championship Game" on the cover of its official gameday book. Although it is not reflected in the logo, that is the name. Before the 2007 game was even played that's how many were refering to it. The template is fine for ALL 4 games. Bcspro (talk) 14:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There goes the Wikipedia standards, only some events use "Game". Is that hypocrisy? Ucla90024 (talk) 16:24, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, only some. Since "Game" is part of the actual name. Bcspro (talk) 19:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Epoynous

Since when was epoynous a word? Boomtown Rat (talk) 12:41, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ask User:NoseNuggets! or try User:Bcspro. Ucla90024 (talk) 17:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ucla90024, I have never used such a word. Grow up! Bcspro (talk) 17:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of fact it was User:NoseNuggets who first introduced the word into the article. You sir, User:Ucla90024 made 5 edits without correcting it. It was eventually corrected by some unregistered user and was then reverted by User:Willking1979. This has to do with the whole "Game" issue. Bcspro (talk) 17:51, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was the unregistered user, I was just not logged in. It was reverted for being "unconstructive" Boomtown Rat (talk) 05:30, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the word "eponymously" miss used? Eponymously refers to a person or persons. In this case, it is used for a stadium named after a "it", the organization Tournament of Roses. The stadium was originally name Tournament of Roses stadium before it was shortened to the Rose Bowl. 206.170.104.63 (talk) 22:06, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Announcers

Brent Musburger (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (color) and Lisa Salters (sideline) are correct as listed in the press release. Tom Rinaldi's name was not mentioned at all. Bband11th (talk) 02:51, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rose Bowl?

The lead in says "Rose Bowl." This game is not the Rose Bowl. HyperCapitalist (talk) 02:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I reverted the edit, but it was put back in "per the media guide" whatever that means. Bcspro (talk) 03:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting times

According to the Tournament of Roses, "Texas and Alabama meet for the eighth time in history." It also said "Texas leads the series 7-0-1 all time against Alabama." Bband11th (talk) 21:45, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protect

I semi-protected the article for 2 hours due to excessive vandalism. This will allow editors to focus on improving the article as the game progresses instead of constantly reverting. If anyone disagrees, let me know and I'll unprotect.—NMajdan•talk 04:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Number of combined National Titles

There needs to be some sort of objective criteria for this. Nobody except Alabama considers Alabama to have 12 national titles. All articles outside of articles that discuss the various ways that teams claim their own titles ought to count only AP, BCS, and Coaches Poll national titles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Statalyzer (talk • contribs) 18:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should be based on media guides. SEC Football Media Guide: "National Champions:

Year	Team	Poll
1951	Tennessee	AP, UPI
1957	Auburn	AP
1958	LSU	AP, UPI
1960	Ole Miss	FWAA

1964	Alabama	AP, UPI
1964	#Arkansas	FWAA

1973	Alabama	UPI
1978	Alabama	AP, FWAA

NOTE: #Arkansas was not a member of the SEC" Ucla90024 (talk) 22:30, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should not be based on media guides, should be based on an outside source rather than "Whatever any school wants to claim for itself" 208.124.36.184 (talk) 20:29, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
