Rate Bowl was supposed to be Big Ten vs Big 12.  This must be part of the fall-out from Iowa St and Kan St turning down bowl invites.  Interesting that Wash St is losing its coach to Iowa St,  yet Wash St still going to a bowl. 

It also interesting  that Iowa St and Kan St both played in Ireland in August.  I wonder if this makes it feel like too long of a season,  or maybe they fill like they already had their "fun" trip for the year.

maybe the Cyclones don't care about beating the Hawkeyes in a rematch?

Penn St got sent to the Pinstripe Bowl, which is interesting to me because PSU is the first Big Ten team sent to the Pinstripe Bowl twice while a member of the Big Ten.  PSU went the first time in 2014,  so I guess its been a while.    So even though Rutgers has been there more than once,  they have only gone once as an official Big Ten school.   

The Big Ten has tried for a long time to make sure no team would go the Pinstripe more than once,  which is why I thought Illinois might get the nod this time.  But Illinois got sent to the Music City Bowl instead this year.

I don't know if Iowa St was slated for the Rate Bowl,  but I am confident iowa St fans would have enjoyed going to Arizona for the Holidays.  In fact there are a lot of transplanted Iowans that already live in Arizona.

But no,  Iowa St would not have gotten Iowa as its opponent.   Iowa St vs. Nebraska in the Rate Bowl would have been cool, though.

I used to love bowl pools.  Now it feels like only the same degenerates who gamble on NFL preseason games. 

The 24 team playoff is coming because the bowls are dead

The fans and coaches are right there with them.  Same reason Maui is dead.  Throw some NIL in, and maybe

If your bowels are dead, probably need some fiber and hydration.
