The Warriors, 12-0, rallied from 21 points down to defeat Washington, 35-28, at Aloha Stadium tonight.

The Warriors are expected to clinch a berth in the BCS.

Sheriff Center gates will open at 2:15 p.m. and fans are expected to be seated by 2:50 p.m., for the program which starts at 3 p.m., UH said.

Admission is free and UH officials say they would like to fill the 10,300-seat arena much as Boise State did for their BCS announcement last year.

UH coach June Jones, Warrior players, cheerleaders, Rainbow Dancers and pep band will take part.

The bowl pairings, which likely would send UH to the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, will be revealed in the 40-minute program that follows Fox's NFL coverage at 3 p.m. Hawai'i time. Fox will televise four of the five BCS bowls, including the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl.

"This will be an incredible atmosphere with members of the football team, cheerleaders, pep band and enthusiastic fns participating," said Herman Frazier, UH athletic director. "We want to show the nation the fantastic support that our Warriors receive from the entire Hawai'i ohana."

"They are an exciting team that we want America to get to know better, and what better way than when you have a prime-time BCS selection show?" said Fox spokesman Dan Bell.

"Not only are they a tremendous story, they have one of the best players in the country in Colt Brennan, one of the most exciting offenses and best teams in the country."

Last year, Fox did a similar segment from Boise State's jam-packed 12,380-seat Taco Bell Arena as the 12-0 Broncos received their Fiesta Bowl bid.Fans are encouraged to wear green shirts and bring ti leaves, pom-poms and signs.
