What sport are we talking about here? I thought it was American Football but with a mention of the Ducks is it Hockey?
It is US college football -- more or less the same rules as NFL football, but not quite.
BCS = "Bowl Championship Series" a highly controversial enterprise for making money for the BCS by pitting various university conference champions against each other in big bucks games with pointless outcomes. BCS is currently under investigation and doesn't like it a bit. The best outcome of the season was the Rose Bowl game when tiny Texas Christian University sent their "Horned Frogs" to Pasadena and humiliated the very vocal and supposedly mighty University of Wisconsin Badgers. It looked very good on them.
"Ducks" is the generic name for all sports teams at the University of Oregon, also the name of the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League, which I think is what confused you.
