MIAMI (CBSMiami) – College football season hasn't even opened fall camp, but the Football Bowl Association has set the date for the final game of the year which will be held at Sun Life Stadium.

The FBA has set the Discover BCS National Championship game for Monday, January 7. The game will kick off at 8:30 p.m. The 2013 BCS National Championship game will be one of the last for the troubled BCS.
