Bowls are not about DESERVE. They are about MONEY.
The teams with the most traveling fans and the best tv ratings get the best bowl games. Why don't people understand this?
(And the Alamo Bowl has moved up. It gets the #3 pick from the Big 12 now, so Baylor didn't get screwed at all. Holiday Bowl lost its sponsors and has dropped to #5 for Big 12--after Insight Bowl and right before the Car Care Bowl)
