Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I meant what they bid to get the games, not what was paid to the teams.

Huh? 

Everything's standard.  All 4 NY6  bowls that are not hosting CFP semifinals are treated the same.  And the two NY6 bowls that are hosting semifinals in that year are treated the same.  And the CFP semifinals are rotated among those 6 bowls annually. It's all completely standardized now, in the contracts that the conferences (plus ND) signed with the CFP/NY6.

sure

so next season the Rose and Sugar get stuck with the G5 rep?

Maybe, maybe not?  But the answer as to "why" isn't money.  The money is the same across the board.

The Rose should get the G5 every year, for those times it was the only thing preventing a 1 vs 2 matchup.

The B1G and PAC were also complicit in that arrangement.

I was creating a Whoa Nellie order and producing All-Time LSU.  The QBs are Joe Burrow, Tommy Hodson, Jamarcus Russell, and Bert Jones.

We all know Burrow had the best single season ever for a QB.
But here's a funny thing:  his career numbers are basically identical to Hendon Hooker, with Hooker having double the rushing stats.
Here are their lines:
Cmp:  632     650
Att:    943     945
Pct:    67.0     68.8
Yds:    8974   8852
Y/A:    9.5       9.4
TD:      80        78
INT:     12        11
Rate:   172.4    172.4
.
Rushing
Att:      518      258
Yds:     2083    820
Avg:      4.0      3.2
TD:        25       13

Their passing careers were indistinguishable.  Just a little surprise in the data.  

Yeah...
or 
Heupel has a helluva system
or
Hooker was run-first at VT, but was a better passer than we thought
or
players are remembered for their peak, not their average
.
I bet teams that draft a player based on his peak are poor franchises and teams that draft based on a player's average are the better franchises.

so, yer going by Number of losses?
