There has been some much debated clashing as to how the teams are selected to participate in the BCS Title Game. Some of the most prominent disputes have been the 2001 BCS Title Game when the University of Oregon was passed up in favor of Nebraska University, which suffered a staggering loss in the final game of their regular season. The 2003 BCS season resulted in more unhappy players and coaches when USC was not considered. The following year two undefeated schools, Auburn University and University of Utah, did not make it to the BCS game.

At the end of the college football season, teams that are a part of the “Bowl Alliance”, formerly called the “Bowl Coalition”, are averaged. The highest rated teams play each other for the BCS Championship Title. The winner of the game is given the AFCA National Championship Trophy immediately following the game, as well as the MacArthur Trophy.
