Bowlsby says it's also a priority for the league to get a spot in a Florida bowl game. LINK Prediction the SEC trades one of the Florida bowls (Gator or Outback) to the Big 12 for a spot against them in the Houston Bowl. Big 10 will go along with it b/c they will now play a Big 12 team in a NYD bowl and will also get the Pinstripe Bowl to help build the NY market they are attempting to gain with Rutgers.

Bowlsby said the league has had conversations with Gator Bowl officials and two other bowls in Florida. LINK

LINK kind of interesting that they say the Alamo could move up in the pecking order. Does that mean the Cotton will be an access bowl in the playoff rotation? does it also mean the SEC/Big 12 matchup will end?

I think that is pretty much a lock. The Cotton and CFA will be access bowls.

FSU,Clemson and WVU all will fill up those stands

My friends who went all got tickets for about 15 bucks right before kick off. The BCS mid week bowls have been a disaster. This post was edited on 1/30 at 12:41 pm

I also highly doubt the Alamo would be willing to dump their Pac 12 ties after working so hard to be able to get their #2 team. This post was edited on 1/30 at 1:00 pm
