Well every year I get sad when the Final Four arrives.  I know that sounds crazy but when the Final Four is decided it means that the madness is coming to a close.  And usually by this time my bracket has been torn up and tossed across the room about 4 times before taking its final resting place inside of a pizza box.

Sure there are still 3 games left to be played to decide the National Championship, but every year the 2 weekends leading up to the Final Four provide more meaningful action than any other 2 week span in sports.

Tonight the BCS Selection Show announced who is going where and when. If you missed it here are the highlights.

BCS National Championship Game: Texas Longhorns vs. Alabama Crime Tide
Not a huge surprise after last night's rout of the Florida Gators by Alabama (sorry Tim Tebow fans, he's human after all). Texas narrowly escaped Nebraska to head to Pasadena and the Rowl Bowl stadium to decided the National Championship Title.

Rose Bowl: Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks
The Bucknut fans head to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl to face the Oregon Ducks who clinched their spot with their win over the Oregon Beavers.

Sugar Bowl: Cincinatti Bearcats vs. Florida Gators
Tim Tebow was brought down to earth with a lost to Alabama and his Florida Gator must settle for a Sugar Bowl match up against the undefeated Bearcats from the Big East.

Fiesta Bowl: Boise State Broncos  vs. TCU Horned Frogs
The Broncos are riding the blue turf all the way to the Fiesta Bowl to match up against the undefeated Horned

Today was awesome here in New Orleans as we get ready for the BCS National Championship Game tomorrow. It appears that most of Columbus has now arrived in New Orleans. The weather was mild and muggy with a nice breeze. Bourbon Street has been packed since morning. The city of New Orleans post Katrina is ready and has never looked better downtown.

Getting your tickets:
It's getting down to the wire with not many tickets left. Don't buy on the street. I can't stress that enough. If you still need seats, Sports Traveler has last minute options available online. Check our BCS Inventory. All tickets online can be picked up here in New Orleans.

Find the teams:
The Ohio State Buckeyes are staying at the Hilton Riverside, the LSU Tigers are just down the street at the Sheraton. Security is tight but fans can still grab autographs from very friendly players roaming about the hotels.

Find fellow Sports Travelers:
Our clients are staying at the Hilton Riverside, Sheraton, Marriott, Royal Sonesta,
