How do two 8-4 unranked teams

get into a New Years Day Bowl? Outback Bowl reps have to be pissed about that matchup. I wont watch it, unless Michigan gets a 30 pt lead or more.

If the Outhouse Bowl mattered,

it'd be part of the Playoff rotation.Otherwise,it's just a Bowl trying to pimp itself up by scheduling itself when the games that matter are played.

No, it use to be the Hall of Fame Bowl at one point and turn into the Outback Bowl.

Re: I think that's the Champs or Camping World bowl now.***

The Citrus Bowl turned into the Champs Bowl, then became Camping World Bowl, which Oklahoma State and VT just played in.

I liked the format from my youth. Basically, all the lesser bowls one per night, starting around December 18th, then things heated up on NYE day with 3 or 4 bowls, followed by 9 or more games on 3 networks all day on January 1st.

Yep, the bowl parades would start early on New Year's Day in the morning before the games came on at noon.

That way the Orange could take the place of the Outback on New Years.

NYE falls on a Sunday which is reserved for NFL so those bowl games got moved to NYD instead of NYE which they would’ve normally been played on

ESECPN controls most of the bowl game scheduling...

So they think putting bowls that have SEC teams in them on New Year’s Day will help get the SEC back to their glory days. Ain’t gonna work, because most of the quality match ups have happened before New Year’s Day.
