Does the Pac 12 pool and divide all the bowl money? Or do teams keep it?

Money goes to the conference where its divided up evenly. So it doesnt matter which Bowl game you go to in terms of payout, what matters is that the conference gets 2 BCS teams and as many other teams in Bowl games as possible.

For instance it would've been better for the conference for UU to beat UofA, then the conference would've filled all its slots plus had 1 school going to a Bowl game a Pac-12 team doesn't normally go to.

Forks are a pretty important weapon in the fight against hunger.

Well, it looks like the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl will chose between ASU and U of A

If ASU gets passed up on this one, and passed up on the Vegas Bowl since they don't want a rematch with Boise State, and passed up on the Sun Bowl since they won't pass on USC, passes on the New Mexico Bowl due to final exams, what does that leave us with, the cracker bowl? Man.

Probably some bowl thats normally aligned w/ another conference that can't fill its slots due to teams being on bowl bans and such.

Without bothering to look up each individual bowl, I imagine that might be something like the "Heart of Dallas" Bowl at the Cotton Bowl.

But I don't think ASU needs to be too worried that the Kraft will pass them up. It seems apparent now, UA to New Mexico, ASU to SF.

Thanks for talking me off the cliff!

If they do go to SF, I might actually be able to get to the game from S. Oregon, provided I can get the fam on board.

Its Official: We play Navy in the Hunger Games Bowl

 

[Kel Varnsen]

We're playing the Navy in San Francisco, huh?

We're gonna be favored by 80.

Well we should be favored, but it shouldn't be by more than 14 I imagine. Navy can run the ball, which we are not real great at stopping. We have one of the best pass D's in the country, but that's not going to be much help. here.

Graham and co. are going to have to figure out how to use the attacking defense against the triple option running game, which should be something fun to watch. Hopefully, this will translate to a lot of tackles for loss, but who knows. Should be a fun game.
