Yes, so one year the PAC have it in their bowl lineup, the next year not. The first year the Big12 does not have it in their bowl lineup, the second year it does. So there has to be a second bowl out there that sits in those spots in the PAC and Big12 lineups when the MWC bowl in Los Angeles is not in their lineup.

It could be one of the other MWC bowls ... that is, effectively the MWC agree to one bowl with the Pac-12 and one with the Big12, but for the benefit of variety in the bowl cities (fewer tickets are sold if a team has recently gone to that same city for a bowl), they swap opposing conferences between the two.

The bowl in Albuquerque is an obvious candidate to also have a MWC team every year and alternate between Pac and B12 teams on the other side.

I doubt the PAC12 or B12 would be interested in a bowl in New Mexico Bowl on Dec 21 unless the payout is substantially increased.
