True or false: If you had Holiday Bowl game tickets in 1984 you would have seen a team win the college football national championship. That is actually true - BYU, unbeaten and ranked #1 that year, beat a 6-5 (yes, 6-5) Michigan team to win the national championship. That makes the BCS seem not so bad now doesn't it? And that game is partly why the BCS came into being, since BYU was obligated to play in the Holiday Bowl, rather than the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl. And although the 2006 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl won't decide the national championship, you can't go wrong with Holiday Bowl game tickets from GoTickets.com.
