Why did anyone think a power conference was going to give up a $6M payout so we could play in the Texas Bowl?

Exactly! The Big 12 and SEC had enough teams, so why would the bowl organizers push at least one conference away to invite SMU?

People were probably speculating that there wouldn't be enough teams. Put one more SEC team in the playoff and/or NY6, and there's one more bowl needing a non-SEC, non-P5 team.

Pretty sure that is still the case. Does UConn get a cut this year?
