Common sense is applied to the choices. They put them in areas (mostly) with better wintertime weather.I don't really care about how bowl locations are set - doesn't mean that a little common sense can't be applied to some choices.
Ohh wait - lets just find a law we don't like and move the game.
Thats pretty good for a Fan base that someone said doesn't travel ...
So much for
Like I said, people like to escape the frozen tundra for New Years.
There's a reason all the big bowl games are in warm weather locations.
Its an older school with tons of alum (see $$$), to think they won't travel to a big game is goofy.
Thats usually a problem for FSU in a non Florida/Ga/La area. FSU is a young school compared to others, we just dont have the fan base or the $$$ out there, yet.

It also helps that Miami is a huge tourist destination already. That's why the Florida Bowls, Sugar Bowl, and Rose Bowl's never have a problem selling out.
You mean it's not so the SEC has a decided advantage with thier fans being there ?So much for

No, look at Bowl history. Back when there wasn't a gazillian of them, they were almost all in warm weather locations. Those evolved to the big ones you have today.You mean it's not so the SEC has a decided advantage with thier fans being there ?
Nothing stopped the Big Ten from having a bowl up there for their champ to go to, but instead they decided on Southern Cal.
btw, Florida beat Ohio St. in the BCS championship in Phoenix, AZ. Not exactly SEC territory.
Bama better hope Hurts doesnt get hurt in the playoffs. First Barnett announced his transfer early in the season, then recently backup Cooper Bateman decided to transfer. Now just a little while ago, David Cornwell announced his intention. Leaving Bama with one other QB on the roster, another true freshman.
I can understand the thinking of these young guys, Hurts is the starter, and will be. Plus Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones are committed for next year, with Taguvailoa projected to be the next starter. I do hate that the last two are not seeing the season out though. They gain nothing by transferring before the season ends, unlike Barnett.

You do know that comment was tongue in cheek ... right ?
Buckeyes have done well in Arizona over the years.
The Big Ten will always play a bowl game in Southern California, they have a long history playing against the Pac 8/10/12 whatever they are next. I know the Big Ten can't count either.
A long streak is about to be snapped ....
It looks like Army is about to beat Navy for the first time in ages ...
Don't remember what they said earlier, I thought I might have heard maybe 14-15 years ...
Could that possibly be the case ?

I honestly have no idea. I am very patriotic in most ways, but this game? I couldn't care less.
It never factors into the season and it's just too over hyped for what it actually is.

I just have it on because nothing else was on ...
That said, Dad was in the NAVY !
I do watch it, but its not a priority .
For the first time in his life, my 14 yr old son say Navy lose to Army.
Was a good game though, and always fun to watch. Went to several when I lived in Southern PA, was always great to watch, and see both corps of cadets come together at the end.

Alabama Finals are in full swing, and their players are taking their finals as seriously as they always do.
Lane Kiffen to become HC at Florida Atlantic ...
Yes, I had to read that twice as well ...
I would think that would be a downgrade for him.

Who else would take him as a HC? He ruined Tenn and USC.

It's a downgrade in pay, but it's a good stepping stone to more if he improves the program.
Plenty of programs had big interest in this cycle. Chances are had he agreed to the buyout clause at Houston he would have gotten that job.
As it is, a g5 job is about what he should have gotten.
