most of the time, bowls will try not to pair up teams that played in the regular season.
But, there are few exceptions.
and whoever said, "To maximize viewership or ratings" I call crap on this.
TAMU going to the Liberty did not maximize ratings against WV... and the ticket sales were terrible.
Miss State going orange over Cotton was also not maximizing ratings, and the ticket sales were terrible.
Tamu would have been better in a texas bowl and Miss State in Cotton for fans and matchups. JMHO of course..

The AutoZone Liberty Bowl between Texas A&M and West Virginia drew 3.3 million viewers on ESPN, making it the most-watched Liberty Bowl in four seasons.

12/29/2014 Texas A&M 45 - West Virginia 37 51,282
12/31/2010 UCF 10 - Georgia 6 51,231
Terrible ticket sales =/= Terrible ratings. Those two games had some of the best Liberty Bowl ratings ever. Also, we are talking about bowls that don't matter. New years 6 bowls and Tier 1 bowls are chosen based on field performance. They select the best teams for those bowls.

In non playoff years, The Orange bowl will only select a SEC or Big Ten team, or Notre Dame. Miss St had no choice but to go to the Orange bowl and face Gatech. The College Football committee & conference contracts determines New Year's bowl participants.

The Arkansas/Texas Texas Bowl drew 5.8 million viewers on ESPN Monday night That is the largest audience in Texas Bowl history.
Also, There were a lot of rumors surrounding Texas and Texas A&M not wanting to play each other in a bowl game. They are still bitter about the divorce. I wish they would hurry up and get over it.
