Frisco Bowl is next weekend. After I finish dinner I'll reorganize these and put them in order with the dates they'll be played.

With all the Pac 12 and ACC teams opting out I'm wondering if the AAC may have jumped to quickly accepting some of these bids. MAC, CUSA, MWC, and Sun Belt teams may slip into some good matchups vs P5 schools.

LSU (self imposed sanctions), Pitt, and BC have opted out that I know of.

Are you surprised? Duke may publicly announce as well even though they only have 2 wins

Half of these games will be cancelled or postponed.

Not really interested in watching the Potato Bowl or the Popeyes bowl in mid January.

I'm amazed that they're all still scheduled. I guess ESPN is determined to fill as many slots as possible though.

Well then we can refer to those P5 teams as the Pussy 5.

Kansas, too, has chosen to opt out of this bowl season.

Boca bowl looks interesting; others so far - meh.

Another suggestion for the OP - maybe include a list of teams that have opted out of bowls.

I believe Boston College and Pittsburgh have so far. Not sure of others.
