Is the pecking order and bowl affiliations changed yearly or is it changed every few years? Basically, will this year's Big 12 bowl games and order of selection be the same as next year?

It's subject to change, but it will be pretty similar. Only difference is Military and TicketCity rotate every other year. The top 5 bowls have been Big 12 staples for the past decade.Quote:

Some bowl may want to change with the new Big 12, but I kind of doubt it.
I wish they could switch around all the bowl games a little bit more. The Big Ten seems to have the best bowl destinations (Capital One, Outback, etc), not to mention the Rose Bowl for the BCS.Quote:

**If Army isn't eligible in 2012, then a CUSA team will fill that spot.
If Navy IS eligible in 2011, a Big 12 team could fill an open spot in the TicketCity Bowl (Big Ten vs CUSA).
Heck, I'd even go back to Boise right now.Quote:

Why oh why can't the big XII get ONE freaking bowl game in the state of Florida instead of all these in Texas..
Oh, wait, I see, never mind.:swoon:
Seriously, I do wish there was still a Florida destination bowl game tie in.
Agreed. We used to have the Champs bowl in florida, it was one of our lower tie-ins, but it kicks the **** out of NYC in december..Quote:
