    Any interest in SEC vs Pac-12 Bowl match-up?

    Under the current bowl contracts, the SEC has tie-ins that, if the play-off were excluded, would give the SEC this many match-ups against the following conferences:
    • Big XII = 3 (Sugar, Liberty, Houston)
    • B1G Ten = 2 to 4 (Citrus, Outback, Music City and/or TaxSlayer)
    • ACC = 1 to 3 (Belk, Music City and/or TaxSlayer)
    • American = 1 (Birmingham)
    • (It's possible I may be overstating the number of match-ups available from Music City and TaxSlayer. I think there is a limit on how many times a particular conference can appear in these bowls during the life of the contract, so this number may vary)


    I'm curious how many of you would like to see the Pac-12 added into the mix somewhere (outside of the playoffs) and what bowl location. Here are the Pac-12 Bowl tie-ins (excluding the Rose Bowl, which should stay B1G Ten/Pac-12 when it's not a playoff game):
    • Alamo (San Antonio, TX)
    • Holiday (San Diego, CA)
    • Foster Farms (San Francisco, CA)
    • Sun (El Paso, TX)
    • Las Vegas (Las Vegas, NV)
    • Cactus (Tempe, AZ)


    Personally, I'd like to see the SEC/Pac-12/Big XII rotate teams in the Alamo and Houston Bowls the way the SEC/B1G Ten/ACC rotate through the TaxSlayer and Music City Bowls so that one year the Alamo might be SEC vs Pac-12 and the Texas could be either SEC vs Big XII or Big XII vs Pac-12 followed the next year with a Big XII vs Pac-12 Alamo and either SEC vs either Pac-12 or Big XII. Obviously, I have a personal stake in getting more opportunities to see State play in Texas, but don't you think some of our bowl match-ups have gotten a little stale? Haven't we seen this year's Sugar Bowl match-up or Florida-Michigan plenty quite a bit in the last dozen years or so?

    To be fair, with the new P5 scheduling requirement, we're going to get more SEC/Pac-12 games in the coming years, like our series with Arizona, but let me know what you think, for the sake of argument.

    Honestly, I wish all tie ins were abandoned. Just let the committee (or whatever system is currently in use) rank the teams. 5 plays 6, 7 plays 8, etc.
