The NCAA needs to get rid of all these conference agreements with bowls. One of best things back in the day was that the Holiday Bowl always brought a new team to play against BYU. With the Holiday Bowl agreement and now the Poinsettia, it really limits the opponents that can make the MWC can play against. I would rather see a 6-5 Big 10, Big 12, ACC team than see Arizona, Oregon and UCLA every year. I want some variety. Without the agreements the MWC champion could play in the Citrus Bowl or some other Bowl every year. I just don''t see a lot of satisfaction in playing the Pac-10 or Navy every year.

It would make things much more exciting if the bowls only had limited tie ins. It would make the end of college football much more like selection Sunday for March madness, waiting to see where you team got slotted.
Maybe a team turns down a bowl against a better team to play a lesser opponent and win. 100% agree this would be much better for college football.Get confident, stupid

That was one of the fun things about the bowl season, getting to see a team that you rarely play. Now we know it will be a Pac-10 team that BYU or Utah has played multiple times in the last 5-6 years."To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail."

2003 Southern Miss Liberty Bowl
2004 Pitt Fiesta Bowl
2005 Georgia Tech Emerald Bowl
2006 Tulsa Armed Forces Bowl
2007 Navy Poinsettia Bowl
2008 Alabama Sugar Bowl
In contrast since 2001 byu has played in the liberty bowl once and 4 times in vegas bowl against pac-10 opponents."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

I beg your pardon. BYU has played twice in the Pioneer Purevision Las Vegas Bowl and twice in the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl. You make it seem like BYU goes to the same old game every year.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post
And don't forget that they are guaranteed to go to a different bowl game this year. Thanks Maaco!Comment
