The bottom picks in four other BCS conferences are fairly regional, though. They have to be in order to hope for shorter travel distances for participating fans.

ACC
#5 - Charlotte; #6 - Nashville; #7 - Shreveport; #8 - Washington, D.C.

SEC
#5 - Atlanta; #6 - Jacksonville; #7 - Nashville; #8 - Memphis; #9 - Birmingham

Pac-10
#4 - El Paso; #5 - Las Vegas; #6 - San Francisco

Big East
#4 - New York City; #5 - Birmingham; #6 - St. Petersburg

I want to keep the Fiesta, Cotton, Alamo, and Holiday at all costs. Let's keep the little history and tradition this conference has.

I would swap the Fiesta for the Orange Bowl in a heartbeat. I think the Big XII blew it when they formed by not working harder to keep the Orange Bowl as their top draw.

JMHO, though.

Are you implying er saying? That us cyclone fans can forget about bowl trips to Glendale AZ or Dallas TX, anytime in the near future????

The Outback Bowl would be my top pick for a non BCS Bowl. You get the sun and beaches in Tampa and get to play in a cool NFL stadium. I've heard from Iowa fans that it's a great time
