The Las Vegas Bowl is about to take a major leap forward in stature with the Raiders' new stadium. If I were Greg Sankey, I'd get ahead of the curve here and reshuffle our bowl affiliations. An SEC-Pac12 matchup would become a high profile game very quickly.
Oh, I'd go...

Yes but what about the thrill of living through the experience of escaping from Shreveport with your life by dodging gunfire and the theft of your car?

Doesn't anyone care about the future of the gangs in Shreveport?

I'd rather see the SEC drop one of the bowls with the Big-10 and replace it with a PAC-12 team

The gangs of Shreveport might suffer, but you can still experience that thrill in Vegas

I'd imagine its going to play into the playoff circuit, so will have to deal with that aspect(SEC vs PAC wouldnt be an every year event), but it would be very smart

Further: wouldn't surprise me to see this stadium get included in the playoffs.

After looking at the stadium pic, I think they should try to get Tupperware as a sponsor.

Not a bad idea.

Vegas is an easy 1 day drive from here.
