College Football

The missing link to a four-bowl lineup that could give college football a national championship game might be filled today when representatives of the Cotton, Orange and Sugar bowls meet with officials from four other bowls and from the Big East and Atlantic Coast conferences and Notre Dame.

The Citrus, Fiesta and Holiday bowls will also be included in the meeting.

The plan envisioned by the three bowls is to create a situation in which as many conference champions as possible can be paired in the postseason, possibly creating a national title game in one of them.
