we got the regionally preferred SEC #3-8 spot.
Which is horseshite because the historically more prestigious next 2 bowls are the outback and gator. This essentially guarantees the shitty East or Auburn gets those two bowls. Back when the cotton was in this tier it didnt matter because the next up in the west had an equivalent bowl.

Exactly. All the January Florida bowls keep their SEC East preference, while the West loses the Cotton and has to pretend like the Texas Bowl is worth a shite. It is a bowl for 7-5 teams that are unranked.

Historical prestige is irrelevant at this point. I understand it's hard to get beyond what we knew, but the outback, cap one, etc. no longer carry anymore weight or prestige than the other 4 in that grouping.
Many people have always said that beyond the "big" bowls, the others don't matter. They've made that more true than ever.
