And, shock-surprise-dismay, expects SMU to lose on Saturday to UCF and end up in the Armed Forces Bowl while making all sorts of hopeful statements that UCF will finally win the Liberty Bowl against a mediocre SEC team.

1) I must have missed the trade involving the NM and NO bowls.
2) Wouldn't it make more sense to send Tulsa to Hawaii rather than UCF?

I agree. So if SMU wins tomorrow, why not send UCF to Dallas and Tulsa to Hawaii?

Seems like being the East Champs would be worth something.
