Fiesta Bowl (Phoenix) ??

True, U of Ore has, or probably will be selected for the Fiesta Bowl, one of the BCS bowls. Distance from Eugene, OR: 1230 miles. However, Stanford at #12 in the AP poll and #10 in the BCS has been relegated to the minor Seattle Bowl. An organizor of one of the major bowls was quoted in the newspaper that they were not selecting Stanford for his bowl because "their fans don't travel well" (translated: money). Don't get me wrong, it is OK to set the matchups based on the best draw. But let's not pretend that we're getting the best teams in the most important bowls.
