Do you have the 2014 vs. 2015 numbers to quantify this?

So now you agree that a 11-1 ULL team could be playing a 6-6 USM?

You continue to focus only on the NO bowl, there are now five of them. The conference has so little say in the process, which is a shame. Let's stop acting like the whipping boy and negotiate a little power on our side versus the bowls/tv. They now need 6-6 teams, which will require some participation from the SBC. If our teams continue to sale tickets we can start pushing back.

Explain what we gain by swapping places both financially and perception? What would we gain by sending us to Camellia and you to New Orleans? What is so flawed? We have good matchups and 4 of the 6 slots will sell a ton of tickets and 4 of 6 will keep expenses down. We have our co-champ playing best a good MAC, a good Troy team who was ranked playing Mac runner up, our other co champ playing an AAC and 2 mediocre rival teams playing. We are setup to possibly run the table in bowl season and that is somehow flawed.
