Parameters[edit]

* denotes a required field

Parameter	Explanation	Example
season*	The year of regular season play. For the 2007–08 bowl season, enter 2007 here.	`2007`
image	An image for the season. Follow Wikipedia guidelines.	`[[File:Example.png\|200px]]`
image_caption	A caption for the image, if provided.	`Descriptive text`
regular_season	The dates of the first and last games of the regular season.	`{{start date\|2007\|08\|25}} – {{end date\|2007\|12\|08}}`
number_of_bowls	The total number of postseason bowls for the season.	`28`
all_star_games	The number of all star games for the season.	`4`
bowl_start	The date of the first bowl game of the season.	`{{Start date\|2007\|12\|15}}`
bowl_end	The date of the last bowl played of the season	`{{End date\|2008\|01\|07}}`
championship_bowl	Name of the championship game. Likely won't be used much prior to the 1992 Bowl Coalition games.	`[[2008 BCS Championship Game]]`
championship_location	Name of the stadium hosting the National Championship game and the city/state where it is located. (can use <br /> for line between stadium and city) Like the championship_bowl field, this likely won't be used much prior to the 1992 games.	`[[Louisiana Superdome]],<br />[[New Orleans, Louisiana]]`
champions	Name of the team that won the National Championship. If it was split, say that.	`[[2007 LSU Tigers football team\|LSU Tigers]]`
bowl_challenge_cup	The conference that is the winner of the Bowl Challenge Cup (was established in 2001 according to article, so will only be used for years after that).	`[[Southeastern Conference\|SEC]]`
conference(1-12)	Name of a football conference. Up to 12 conference names can be listed.	`[[Atlantic Coast Conference\|ACC]]`
conference(1-12)_teams	Number of teams representing conference number N in bowl games. (Note: recommended to list conferences based on number of teams playing in bowls, highest to lowest.)	`8`
conference(1-12)_wins	Number of wins in bowl games for conference number N. Do not leave blank if zero.	`3`
conference(1-12)_losses	Number of losses in bowl games for conference number N. Do not leave blank if zero.	`4`
conference(1-12)_ties	Number of ties in bowl games for conference number N. Should only be used for pre-1996 bowls (as overtime has been used since then). Leave blank unless non-zero.	`1`
conference(1-12)_ap_poll	Number of ranked teams in the AP Poll from conference number N, based on the final AP Poll of the season. Timing of the final AP Poll has varied; since 1968 (and in 1965) it's after bowls are completed; else it was at the end of the regular season. Leave blank if the final AP Poll hasn't been released yet.	`2`
Note	Optional explanatory note to be displayed after the list of conferences. Should rarely be used.	`ACC and Mountain West had a no-contest`

Note: Wins + Losses + Ties don't need to equal the total number of teams; this is an expected condition when a bowl season is active and not all bowl games have been played.

Example[edit]

Here is an example of one that is filled in. Only the first 11 conference numbers are filled in, but you could also have a twelfth conference if there were indeed 12 conferences to list.

Note: Generally conferences are ordered with the highest number of bowl representatives at the top and the lowest number of bowl representatives at the bottom.
