Would love to see this lineup for B1G tie-ins:

B1G Champ      Rose Bowl         
B1G 2/3             Cotton Bowl
B1G 2/3             Chick-Fil-A Bowl
B1G 4                Gator Bowl Bowl
B1G 5                 Pinstripe Bowl
B1G 6                 Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas
B1G 7                 Independence Bowl
B1G 8                 Pizza Bowl

When the ADept sells special jerseys and gear, you'll see my picture next to the targeted customer crowd. A sheep.....but a Blue one.....

While we're at it can we do away with the useless divisional systems?  Why not have all 12 or 14 teams in a single table, with the two best playing for the conference championship?  Wouldn't that make the title games more competitive, eliminate luck/randomness and generally be a smart idea?

Or does the latter prevent this from ever happening, considering this is the NCAA.

Isn't this whole set up a tad confusing? As I understand the semifinal bowls will rotate. For our purposes if the Rose Bowl hosts a semifinal and the Big 10 Champ is in the top 4, then the Rose Bowl hosts Big 10 Champ versus another top 4 team.



If the Rose Bowl hosts a semifinal but the Big 10 Champ isn't in the top 4 then they'd go to the either the Cotton, Fiesta, or Chick-fil-A.



If the Rose Bowl isn't hosting a semifinal and the Big 10 Champ is in the Top 4 then the Rose takes the Big 10 runner-up. But if the Big 10 Champ isn't in the Top 4, they go to the Rose.



Substitute Big 10 for Pac 12 and Big 12/SEC for Sugar and ACC for Orange.



Is that correct?

...attended the CFA Bowl this past year (UVa vs. Auburn - daughter was at the time a 4th Year at UVa). They had a blast (minus the game's outcome). The event was well staged and there were a ton of pregame events. It certainly helped that they had an Atlantan classmate of my daughter's to help guide them around town. 

It does seem to me that the top tier bowls have had an easier time maintaining their original identities vis-a-vis their sponsors than have the second tier and below. If the CFA (nee Peach) Bowl is being brought up to top tier, it's probably in the bowl committee's interest (and that of its major sponsors - CFA and Coca-Cola) to ease up on the naming rights effect. We shall see.
