| | Online NewsHour: Fiesta Bowl- January 5, 1999 |
 | | Tulane, which was not included in the playoff series, also finished undefeated, and that's one of the problems with the college bowl system, that a team can go undefeated and still not be given a chance to compete for the national championship. |
 | | But the point - they will rotate and the Fiesta Bowl had the first crack last night, but the other bowl games, because they didn't involve the national championship game the ratings were down. |
 | | The Rose Bowl, which is the oldest and most traditional of the bowl games, was down 39 percent in its television rating, which is a huge drop, and it was an excellent football game. |
