Bowls didn't mean any more then than they do now. The other thing that has changed is people and their entitlements. People have more entertainment options now and just aren't as interested.

Just saw where brent mcmurphy said that because USC lost
That somehow means that Notre Dame cannot go to the reliaquest bowl
That means there will have to be in either 2 bowls vs pac 12 teams or the gator bowl

That is correct. Ohio State will now go to a CFP bowl, and Tennessee will go to the Orange. If USC had won Ohio St was headed to the Orange which under the terms of the contract would put an ACC team in the ReliaQuest to replace the Big 10 team. That looked to be the case until USC lost. Now, it's a Big 10 team again. Notre Dame is in the ACC Bowl rotation, so they can go to the Gator, Cheez-It, Holiday, or Mayo. Last night loss by USC changed a bunch of bowls projected teams.

Why would Mizzou and Kansas not play in the Liberty Bowl or any bowl? Mizzou barely got eligible and should take anything they could get.

Rumors are flying that we about to get screwed on our Bowl destination. Bigger Bowls don?t want us because our fans don?t buy tickets and travel. SEC not fighting for us because we don?t have a true AD negotiating.
Whether you gambling degenerates care or not, The Las Vegas Bowl is a slap in our face and has our coaches and players and recruiting staff in Las Vegas a weekend before signing day.
The worst possible outcome for State with Ole Miss possibly getting Notre Dame in Jacksonville.

The Las Vegas bowl probably matches us up with a team ranked in the teens and lines us up for the highest possible postseason ranking, so I'm OK with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN and the Pac-12 were demanding the SEC send either South Carolina or us out there to get more ranked-vs-ranked matchups.

It is still a bad idea. 6-6 teams getting better bowl destinations in the Holiday week, while we get a Bowl Game 1 week after the Army-Navy Regular Season Game. It sucks and has no value what so ever for us. Not in our recruiting footprint like Florida, Texas or Tennessee is. I?d rather go to the Orange Mound Bowl Game than Vegas. At least it is during the Holiday week.
