The Bowl Coalition consisted of the SEC, Big 8, Southwest Conference, ACC and Big East champions, Notre Dame, and two conference runner-ups from among the Big 8, SWC, ACC, Big East and Pac-10. The Orange, Sugar, Cotton and Fiesta Bowls were the associated bowls. The Orange, Sugar and Cotton Bowls hosted Big 8, SEC and SWC champs, respectively. The top “host” team played the top “at-large” team in the host team’s affiliated bowl. If the top 2 teams were both “at-large”, then the Fiesta would have hosted the title game.

One of the flaws of the Bowl Coalition was that the major New Year's day games had NCAA Division I conference tie-ins, such as the Southeastern Conference hosting the Sugar Bowl, the defunct Southwest Conference hosting the Cotton Bowl, the old Big Eight Conference {now Big 12 with 4 added SWC schools} hosting the Orange Bowl. The Rose Bowl had 2 tie-ins, from the Pacific 10 and the Big 10.

The Rose Bowl would not break their tie-ins so the agreement to match the highest rated teams in rotating New Year's Day bowl games (Orange, Sugar and Fiesta) was a flawed system because most years, it produced a clear "mythical" National Championship.

Therefore, something better had to be put into place and the Bowl Coalition became the Bowl Alliance, breaking up the Conference tie-ins and tweaking a system that still did not include the Big 10 and the Pac 10.

The Big 10 and Pac 10 realized they would be shutout of future National Titles so they joined the Bowl Alliance to form the Super (Bowl) Alliance where The Rose Bowl would keep their Big 10/Pac 10 tie-in but if either conference had the #1 or #2 ranked team, they would play in the national championship game in whatever game that was designated on a rotating basis among the Orange, Sugar, Fiesta and Rose.
