If there must be a corporate sponsor I would rather it be done like the Rose Bowl, i.e. "The Peach Bowl, Presented by Chick-fil-a." But I suppose this better than before.

The playoff organizers stipulated that the Atlanta bowl’s name would have to become more in sync with the other five in the semifinal rotation, all of which include a traditional moniker as well as a corporate sponsor: Allstate Sugar Bowl, Discover Orange Bowl, AT&T Cotton Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and Rose Bowl Presented by Vizio.
Yeah, if you read them as they are named, the format of the Rose Bowl name seems to sound better in this case. That being said, it is good to see the traditional name of the bowl somewhere in the name again, although the article seems to indicate that they could have very well gone in a totally different direction with this too.

Nokia is probably more known from the sugar bowl than any products they make
Aren't they that big department store that also sells Swedish meatballs?

It's better than nothing. Now about that Copper Bowl..
They decided to recognize the 70 year tradition of the Gator Bowl by dumping the Gator Bowl name and renaming it the TaxSlayer Bowl (who had been the bowl sponsor). Because nothing says excitement like the TaxSlayer Bowl...

Once you get down to the Copper-colored Moosh-Moosh Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl level, I find it hard to muster much of an opinion.
