I would think (and I could be so far off base that it's not even funny) that they wouldn't want to invite a home team to the bowl. The rationale being that it won't be as many traveling fans, and therefore, revenues would suffer.

Or is that like number 48 on the list of considerations for a bowl invite?

I just figure a perfect scenario for a bowl is a team like the Cajuns and the NOLA bowl. Close enough to be easily drivable and therefore high turnout, but far enough that hotel stays are warranted.
