Well it looks like Houston saved it's bowl. Reliant Stadium is pretty darn nice, so that's a plus - I guess.... though it is in Houston.

Last year only 6 teams were bowl eligible. So that means as long as you get your 6 wins, you're in a bowl. Kind of nice not to have to worry about landing an at large bid, eh?

If I remember correctly from another article I read, it will be Big 12 vs Big East in even years and Big 12 vs CUSA in odd years. I could be wrong though.

The bowl has agreements to pit a Big 12 team against a team from either Conference USA or the Big East. TCU, which plays in the Mountain West Conference, also has access to the game.

Does this mean every DI-A team in Texas is eligable except NTSU? I'm surprised they haven't come over here complaining that we kept them out of that too!

There's a full list at http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/9443142.

Also, I don't believe CUSA is sending anyone to Hawaii anymore, I believe the PAC 10 took over our spot.

CUSA has tie-ins with six bowls in the 2006 season and guaranteed spots in five of them.

Liberty Bowl is set through 2009.
GMAC Bowl is set through 2008.
Birmingham and New Orleans are also set through 2009.
Fort Worth (2006, 2008) and Hawaii (2007, 2009) will alternate hosting a CUSA school the next four years.
The Texas Bowl will host CUSA teams in 2007 and 2009.
