I am aware that the primary criterion for bowl selections is how much money the teams will bring in. Therefore, I suppose should have expected the Orange Bowl to snap up Iowa, a school that gets solid fan support in road games. I am a little surprised that the Fiesta Bowl took both TCU and Boise State, however, because they get to pick before the Sugar Bowl and I would expect Cincy to be able to move fans better than either of those schools.
Mostly, though, I'm sad that for a while, it looked like we might get not one, but two chances to see a weak-conference powerhouse go up against a high-end team from the Big Six. Instead, we're going to learn nothing. Maybe someone decided that they didn't want a repeat of last year's Utah-Alabama game. I hate it when my inner cynic's predictions come true.
Also, my blarg now has a description. A few people will know why it's there, and I don't think I mind if everyone else has to guess.
Look! I can be a bowl committee, too!
