OPENING KICKOFF We hope your October was as fun and successful as ours at the Fiesta Bowl! The month started with our announcement of the Grand Marshals for the Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Parade, presented by Cheez-It and our Women in Sports theme, quickly led into a Youth Football Clinic for hundreds of underserved children, moved into a largely sold-out Wells Fargo Par 3 Challenge, presented by Chapman Automotive and finished with $1 Million going to Arizona’s teachers in our Wishes for Teachers, powered by DriveTime program.
FIESTA BOWL ORGANIZATION NEWSLETTER
With the calendar into November, we saw the first weekly rankings from the College Football Playoff Selection Committee. While still early, it gives us a peek at how the 13-member group might determine the Semifinalists on December 8. Two of those top four teams will face off at the PlayStation® Fiesta Bowl, so we’re keeping a close eye on how it plays out. There will be debate over which one-loss team rates higher, who had the best win, what conference is stronger and much more. That’s what makes the college football regular season the best in all of sports, with so many key games still to be played. For the Cheez-It® Bowl, a large group of teams in the Big 12 and Pac-12 Conference standings means it will go down to the wire to determine who will take the field in downtown Phoenix. Both local universities are in the thick of the teams who could represent the Pac-12. Enjoy the games and we thank you for your support.
