    The Christmas Bowl

    According to Jon Wilner. Byu might be playing the 8th or 9 Pac-12 Team on Christmas day in the Coliseum.

      College football doesn't need another bowl.

        It doesn't need about 10 of the bowls it has right now.

          If that is the best bowl BYU can get, they should give up football.

              IF and it is a big IF, this is true. I am beginning to think this ESPN deal is good for ESPN and money for BYU, but is it really a good deal for the fans. Just as important, is this the way we get put in the upper echelon of college FB.

              Please spare me the your negative or you just complain stuff. I got that already on CB. I am just looking for reasons why I shouldn't feel that way.

                How often is the 8-9 PAC team even bowl eligible?

                    Past doesn't matter with a 12 team league. See SEC 8-9 for comparison. So they will be eligible about every year. Although, the PAC is stupidly playing 9 league games so the chances are a little less.

                      I would be OK with this as long as it wasn't in Provo and we don't play bottom half of the BCS teams.

                        I'm impressed. SU, that's how you make predictions.

                          Has to be a place where BYU travels well. Vegas is already taken so the only other option that makes sense is SoCal.

                            How about Tucson. I dislike Arizona fans, but really like Tucson. Great golf courses. Lot's of momo's in Arizona too.

                              Not going to get any argument from me.
