This is huge for the Sun Belt. To have one of our bowl tie-ins moved to ABC is great for the SBC and the team that's in the bowl, and it's great for the Cure Bowl itself.

This will be a big boost for us.

Yeh, should be sending our #1 there if all possible. NOLA has the #2 pick, I think, which they've moved the game time up to 2:15pm, which will help it not feel like Fallout after the game trying to get to the car / hotel.



These changes plus getting a few more bowl contracts after this season will be a nice push for the conference.

Bowl Picking order

1. ESPN (Can place team anywhere, but my guess is Cure mostly)
2. NOLA
3. ESPN
4. ESPN
5. Mobile

I believe twice in a 6 year period, NOLA has the ability to jump ESPN to the #1 selection.

That’s great. It will draw eyes and is a show of confidence from ESPN.

I wish the Top 25 matchup between Troy and UTSA last season could've been on that.

Maybe that's why it is now.

This is great news. If one of us is having a really good year then it's possible to play back to back games on ABC (if we get our CCG picked up).
