Well every year they had to worry about the Big XII and SEC filling their spots. Both conferences routinely place two teams in the BCS, which knocks them down a level. At least with the ACC and Mountain West, they won't have to worry about that. They stand to get an Air Force, BYU, or Utah unless one of them get into the BCS. Air Force will do well in Shreveport any time because of Barksdale AFB. The ACC teams that end up in the Indy Bowl will just be glad they are in a bowl so it won't really matter.

What part of Texas is Shreveport in anyway? I can't find it on the map.

ACC fans don't care much about FB to begin with, other than Miami, Clemson or FSU. You really see those fans traveling that far to watch a game in a high school stadium in a boring city?!

True but the 8 other members won't come close to selling their ticket allotments.

If only half of the SEC/Big 12 tie-ins are filled, that will still bring more fans b/c they are w/i a day's drive. Only parents' of players or people w/ no life will fly to Shreveport for a 4th rate bowl.
