They will all have plenty of viewers; OTOH, maintaining the `SEC Bowl’ may not, since we-the mouse in my pocketses and I—have had it with the all-knowing Selection Committee. It’s the old BCS in a new wine skin;
it’s comprehensive college football championship series reform.
It’s not as if we’re going to be watching the NFL. Do it before we give up on the NFL’s `Pee Wee’ league and their all powerful wizard gas bags: Those Who Know, deciding for us the NCAA football champion.
Do you follow football?
Baylor was 1-11 this year? They are not going bowling.
Big XII has 7 teams in bowls this year. Add ISU and TTech to your list after you remove Baylor.
Nebraska (4-8) should not be on the list.
Need to add Marshall to the Conference USA bowl list.
They play Colorado State in the New Mexico bowl on Dec 16th
