A a Little magic in thinking big bowls from Page 28 the four bowls would be decided by a prearranged system. After the big eight  and  champions arc determined the other slots for the four bowl games would be filled by a five team Pool which would include notre Dame the champions of the big East and acc and two other highly ranked at Large teams. A a the at Large teams could be independents or conference members. A the highest ranked team in the Pool would go to the bowl that offers the highest ranked opponent. For example if Colorado was no. I and bound for the Orange bowl the highest ranked team in the Pool also would play in Miami on Jan a. Notre Dame has agreed to drop out of the Pool after a mediocre season. The coalition would then select three at Large teams. The Alliance would have matched Colorado against Georgia tech in the Orange bowl last january and Colorado against Miami in the Orange bowl the year before. Because of the arrangement the much criticized annual mid season scramble by top bowls to fill the postseason lineup will no longer occur. The coalition plan to wait until after the final regular season poll in Early december to determine its bowl pairings. A one of the nicest things is that this has got a lot of flexibility a Brock said. A i think the lateness with which we will decide matchup is better for everyone. It will definitely improve bowl  the fiesta bowl which has no conference affiliation would play Host to the National championship game if the five team Pool includes the teams ranked no. 1 and no. 2. Otherwise the fiesta bowl Likely would Settle for the two lowest ranked teams in the Pool. However notre Dame and the champions of the acc and big East have the option of declining one bowls invitation to play in another bowl within the Alliance. For example if notre Dame had played in the Orange bowl three consecutive years the Irish might decline another trip to Miami and play in the fiesta bowl instead. Among the factors in choosing the fiesta bowl to Complete the Alliance were geography flexibility in the time of its Kickoff and an annual payout of More than $6 million officials said. A this gives us a More National look a said Steve hatched executive director of the Orange bowl a the commissioners from the acc and the big East wanted the significance of a fourth bowl that had a Good payout and a Strong to  Chuck Johnson president of the 20-year-old fiesta bowl admitted that his game  match the tradition of the other bowls in the Alliance a maybe we re Johnny come lately and have Only been having the major games for the last five years a Johnson said. A but maybe As the years go by. We can continue to grow with  the Deal does no to ensure that the two top ranked teams will meet each Jan. 1. For example the no. 1 team might come from the big eight and the no. 2 team from the  and under that scenario the Alliance has no provision for putting the teams in the same bowl. A a it a something we would leave open for discussion when the situation developed said Davidson. A at this Point that a one of the things that a still being talked about. It would probably be handled at the time it came up a said sugar bowl executive director Mickey Holmes. The Rose bowl which extends automatic berths to the Pac 10 and big ten champions might also eclipse the new Alliance s top matchup. The last team to emerge from the Rose bowl As the National Champion was Southern Cal in 1972. Rose bowl officials held no discussions with members of the Alliance. A we Are not interested in giving up what we have which is better than what those people Are becoming a part of a said Kirk Hendrix assistant commissioner for the Pac 10.
