No Little Rock Bowl American vs Sun Belch

Relax. IF it comes to fruition (that's a big "if"), it will be our #8 or #9 bowl (10th if we get the access bowl). Its not like our 9th or 10th place team should be expecting to play Michigan in the Rose Bowl. A 6-6 Temple sat at home this year. If your in Little Rock, then your only other option was probably sitting at home.

or almost certainly a p5 bowl replacement

keep in mind the majority of the season temple was projected to play a p5 in a bowl.. but a ridiculous amount of upsets happened

this was one of the largest p5 boowl eligible years, which i doubt will be the regular ..i dont expect every single p5 to fill their 9/11 spots every year on 12/14 member leagues

Im sure we have the option to take a P5 bowl if it opens up. Our top two slots are not promised to any bowl. My guess is that our bowl agreements after #3, #4, and #5 are subject to release if an opening vs a P5 materializes. I know for a fact our Liberty Bowl backup agreement works like that.

Look, this thing is addressing a need. Other than the bowls with P5 opponents, all our bowls are interchangeable. Are the Boca or the Bahama Bowls really that much different? For Houston, Tulsa, and SMU---the most western of our members, the vast majority of our bowl sites are over 1000 miles away. There is just not a lot of interest in traveling 1000 miles to watch a bowl against the #6 team from CUSA, MAC, or Sunbelt. Hell, some people just cant afford it. Put that same game within a reasonable drive, and way more people will make a roadie of it and way more people can afford to make the trip. We need some more western slots and this helps in that regard. As I have said before, my guess is the LRB gets swapped for NOLA in the next bowl cycle. Im fine with that.

Isn't Honey Boo Boo in Georgia?

Let's just say it is because we all know Alabackwards is worse.

Most unfortunately...yes.
