Ticket prices are $87 for the Capital One Bowl on the Georgia and Nebraska web sites -- even though Nebraska (which played in Orlando last year) has sold only about 4,000 tickets and they can be found for $14 in the secondary market. According to The Orlando Sentinel, the Capital One Bowl wanted Texas A&M-Northwestern, but caved to pressure from the SEC and Big Ten to protect the conference runner-ups.


quote:

Florida State has sold 4,000 of its 17,000 tickets for the Orange Bowl against Northern Illinois, an unlikely BCS team. Those tickets are going for as low as $10 elsewhere.


quote:

Virginia Tech is forced to sell tickets for the Russell Athletic Bowl against Rutgers at $72. They're available for $2 online -- joining the Gator and Music City (Vanderbilt-N.C. State) as bowls with tickets going for as low as less than $10.

There needs to be no more than 10 Bowl games. This is enough reason to up the win total to qualify for a bowl game to a minimum of 8 wins. Preferably, 9 wins.

There were 18 when I started watching (now 35). Cut it down to at least 15.

Glad I bought mine from the AA for $92..

Btw I like how you led in with UGA's bowl game, when the other 2 games you posted were going for less.

Ironically, a Tn coach is responsible for both downturns.

There's just some terrible matchups. Half the teams shouldn't be in bowl games this year. If 9 win teams were the only ones to qualify going, you'd have some great matchups.
