Pizza Bowl still working on tie-in with Big Ten

DETROIT -- The chief executive of the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl says he still hopes for the game to have a tie-in with the Big Ten.

George Perles said Wednesday he expects to know by next week if the former Motor City Bowl will reach an agreement with a Big Ten or Big East team to play a Mid-American Conference school.

Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman said the conference is still in talks with bowl officials in Detroit.

The bowl changed its name after Detroit-based Little Caesars stepped in as sponsor. The game is played at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions.

Bad idea on many levels. 1) Arena ball 2) arena ball 3) Detroit arena ball 4) what's in it for a so so Big 10 or Big East team? "Well at least we didn't suck so bad that we didn't get a bowl game." Make it an ACC/Big 10 game. Or an SEC/Big 10 game. Better still, get it out of the damn arena, into Chicago or Columbus, put some money and civic energy behind it and start pitching for a BCS designation. There's nothing magical about the Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Rose bowls except history and a tourist industry that's willing to put time and energy into it. There are places in the north that can do the same.

Looks like the Gator Bowl will become the third New Year's Day Bowl to match up the Big Ten and SEC. This appears to be effective for the 2010 season(Jan. 2011) bowl games.

Didn't realize the significance of the new AD until this thread popped back up. If being "brothers in the business" doesn't say "decided advantage" when it comes to the bowl selection process I'd be shocked. Good hire, scUM!

So the B10 should finally have a favorable bowl matchup in terms of #3/4 B10 vs #5 SEC. I believe all of the others are even at best? (Not even counting diff numbers of BCS teams between conferences, which tends to make it worse for some B10 matchups)

I haven't updated it in a couple of years but when I did the numbers for the entire BCS era in 2007 we found that, contrary to how it seems, the B10 did not have the worst of it in terms of higher/lower "seed" matchups in the Bowl games vs the SEC.

Of course the fact that the B10 is within 1 game or maybe even has a 1 game lead head to head in Bowl games vs the SEC during the BCS era doesn't mean anything. Florida and LSU beat OSU so all SEC teams are better than any B10 teams forever.

The important take away is that it doesn't matter how strong the rest of the B10 is so all the talk of hoping scUM gets better for the good of the conference or The Game or that somehow a stronger B10 is actually better for OSU is simply a waste of good karma.

The national perception of the B10 is based on how OSU does in marquee OOC games and Bowl games. Win those and the media/pollsters will give us respect no matter how badly RR runs that train in the ground up north. We went on an 0-5 bender and they trashed us for it, simple as that.

If TSUN's new AD leads them to a rematch against Toledo in the Pizza Bowl, would that be called a Domino Effect?

The commercials for the Pinstripe Bowl here in NYC is very funny. It is billed as the best of college football coming to NYC as taking advantage of the fact that most New Yorkers don't follow college football and therefore don't understand how bowl match-ups work.

It is still going to be a cool bowl though. The weather, the venue, the city; it's great.

Read this in an ESPN article:

Confession: We've been a little loosey-goosey with these in recent weeks, as they really didn't mean much so far out from the actual selections. Well, the Big Ten had a little chat and set us straight on a few things that are worth relaying to you fine folks.

1. The Big Ten champion cannot play in the Capital One Orange Bowl.

2. If a Big Ten team plays in the Orange Bowl, another will not appear in the Citrus Bowl.

3. The Big Ten really wants to avoid repeat bowl destinations and even repeat postseason areas for teams. The league will ask each bowl to submit its top three choices for participants and then match teams based on where they've been in the past, who the opponent could be and other factors. Basically, the Big Ten is in charge here, not the bowls.

4. Each bowl will see a minimum of five different teams in six years (the New Era Pinstripe Bowl is on an eight-year contract).

I wasn't aware of some of that stuff either.

FWIW, here's the B1G's Bowl Determination Procedures:
