Financially Ark St. should be in Montgomery and App in Orlando. If it's only about money it would be ULL - NOLA, Troy - DG, USA - Camellia, App - Cure, sorry Ark St. you get AZ. But unless someone has the financial numbers from 2014 vs. 2015 to prove the difference is substantial we should have a blend of money generated and spots earned by on the field performance.

Let's say under my scenario (champs pick two bowls) Ark St. said it prefers NOLA or Montgomery and App prefers NOLA or Cure. Montgomery picks Ark St., Cure picks App, both concede to NOLA this year as the Canjuns got to 6-6 and aren't sure if they will again next year. That would have worked very well.

Perception is an interesting word to use. Our "first bowl" picking a 6-6 team isn't a good look. Our first bowl pick shouldn't be paired with the 5th CUSA team either. That provides the perception that the SBC is an inferior conference to CUSA. It isn't any longer. Our co-champ shouldn't be playing a 6-6 AAC team either.
