The Champs, Belk, and Pinstripe haven't gone anywhere yet.  The Pinstripe is likely gone, but who cares about that bowl.

 

I am hoping that if A12 offers their #1, it will be more attractive than the B12 or B10 #8 or 9.  Remember, all of their top bowls are already spoken for, so the best they can do is offer a very low pick.  If they move the Champs or Belk up their bowl lineups, which bowls are being eliminated or moved down.  Whatever those bowls are might be available.

 

In theory, when one door closes, another one opens.  At a certain point being the #8 or 9 pick in a so called power conf. is not more attractive.  They can't just add bowls without others being deleted or moved down the chain.  Do you think the other bowls are going to be happy about being moved down to make room form Champs/Belk/Pinstripe.

 

Again if you look at the so called "power conferences" every single one of their bowls is already spoken for all the way down to the #8 or 9 slot.  So I ask again, which bowl is being deleted from their lineups or being moved down.  It's either that or they make any new bowls Their #10 pick.  Which is it.

What you see here is the widening of the gap between the haves and the have-nots.  College football is all about the $$ now and it is only getting worse.  It is stricly TV revenue generated, Winning will have little to do with it.  Thus they will have #7 SEC team before a #1 undefeated A12 team.

 

You don't see any of the big conferences jumping to grab Boise State do you?  They are the poster child for non-AQ success, but they are on the outside looking in just like us.

What about the toilet bowl?

Belk Bowl is likely done - http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/jeremy-fowler/21826498

If you believe McMurphy the Russel Athletic is too.

What you're removing is that these power conferences have more teams. Which means more tie ins. And by all accounts (reports) they're okay dropping the Big East

Exactly. If the Yet-To-Be-Named Conference is trying to separate itself from the rest of the Gang of Five, why aren't we on the phone with the MWC? We need to be trying to get them into the New Orleans and Beef O' Brady's Bowls. Maybe a bowl for them to travel to in LA or FL and one for one of our teams to travel to on the West Coast?

 

Maybe the MWC would like to get out of the cost and burden of traveling to the Hawaii Bowl? 

 

They've got a better bowl line-up then us now, but for how long?

 

If we don't end up doing our own thing with the Go5 conferences, I think once we are effectively shut out of the other bowls, we really need to work on setting up our #2-3 playing MWC and Indys and then our only our other teams against C-USA and Sun Belt.

Pathetic line up

Terrible line up if this were to happen
