Dumb Question: How will the "bowl pools" actually work?
http://espn.go.com/new-york/college-foot...eport-says
Quote:Starting in 2014, the Pinstripe Bowl is expected to be in a Big Ten three-bowl pool with the Kraft Fight Hunger and Gator/Music City to get the fifth through seventh selections from the conference.

The Pinstripe also is expected to be in an ACC four-bowl pool with the Belk, Sun and Gator/Music City to get the third through sixth selections from the league.

Does anybody know yet how this will actually work, though?

I'm guessing that, after the first four Big Ten picks are known, the three bowls send Jim Delaney a list of three teams they'd like, and Delaney decides who goes where.

Say we use the 2012 season.
#1 Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl
#2 Nebraska
#3 Michigan
#4 Northwestern,
#5 Michigan State
#6 Minnesota
#7 Penn State
And Rutgers at 9-3 was the #2 bowl pick out of the Big East.

The Pinstripe maybe asks for Rutgers, Penn State or Michigan State;
Kraft Fight Hunger asks for Michigan State, Minnesota or Northwestern;
Music City asks for Michigan State, Penn State or Northwestern.

And then Delaney decides which school goes where?
Does it work something like that?

EDIT: Oops, the Pinstripe-Kraft-Gator/MC pool is #5-7, not #4-6. Oh well.

my understanding is that the conferences will try unsure the best matchups for each bowl in a pool. they will also try to limit teams getting stuck in the same bowl every year.

Good, because the Pinstripe has the pontential to be the Big Ten's stinker Bowl. The one where you are willing to go to once, but you would never ever want to do twice unless you are Rutgers,or PSU.

Are you just taking a jab at Penn State?

Well, I think it would be a decent destination once every ten years or so. It has New York City, and filling a baseball stadium is easier than a football stadium. Rutgers figures to go often, everyone else much less so.

If the bowl stays upright they float, if the rock and roll a lil bit some will sink.

It's a big conference, so if RU, MD and PSU are taken once during this bowl contract, the other schools only have a 1 in 3 chance of going there before the deal is up. I think going to a NYC bowl every 10-15 years is infrequent enough to work for most of the other schools.

By the way, Rutgers fans know getting picked for the Pinstripe bowl is part of the price to pay for B1G admission and its efforts to market in NYC. By no means is the feeling among the fanbase that we "want to" go to the Pinstripe instead of somewhere that is a better trip.

No, just because PSU is closer geographicly than the rest of the Big Ten. At least PSU fans could drive there. I guess I should have thrown Maryland in there too.


kind of like saying michigan and MSU are obvious choices for the Detroit bowl, but i guess you could throw in OSU and Purdue because they are a close drive to Detroit too.
