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.
