For the Notre Dame football team, Christmas comes twice.

Instead of Santa Claus, however, the Irish can thank the folks at the Battlefrog Fiesta Bowl for a couple extra gifts. Both Notre Dame and Ohio State's players will receive a "gift suite," a Fossil watch and an Ogio X-Fit backpack for participating in the game.

Sports Business Daily defines a gift suite as "private events in which game participants, and often bowl VIPs, are given an order form and allowed to select a gift, or gifts, up to a value that is predetermined by each specific bowl, not to exceed the NCAA limit of $550 per person."

How does the Fiesta Bowl gifts compare to the goodies at the other New Year's Six games?

Check it out.
