They're doing a Pop Tarts Bowl but can't bring back the Bluebonnet Bowl or California Raisins Bowl?

It's one of the Orlando bowls. And that's all I got.

Went down the rabbit hole today studying the ESPN Playoff Predictor.
It basically says:
1) Pac is guaranteed of a spot. But that comes at a slight cost. There's no really viable scenario in which both Washington and Oregon make it. Winner is in. Loser is out.
2) If I'm doing the math correctly, it says Alabama only has a 39.3% chance to make it even if it beats Georgia. That's because the predictor anticipates heavy favorites Michigan, Texas and FSU will all win and will squeeze out the Tide.
3) If Oklahoma State takes out Texas and Alabama defeats Georgia, the predictor can't make up its mind between Ohio State and Georgia.

Touted freshman Michigan State QB from Oregon meets with the new HC today, says he's pissed the new HC didn't recruit him when he coached at OSU, and says he's entering the portal. Their other QB is also bailing.

Good times!

There's a Pop Tarts Bowl? Oh, my.

 

[Starman]

At this point, why wouldn't everybody enter the transfer portal every year?

Because not everyone is unhappy with their college choice, their coaches, or the amount of playing time they're getting?

And if you don't find a home, you ain't going back. And you may find out the home you get stuck with is worse than the one you left.

And you only get one free transfer.

Jeff Goodman's list of basketball scholarship recipients transferring from Division I schools after last season has about 1,500 names. Of them, one-third didn't find a new Division I home.

I believe there still is one Blockbuster video store in Oregon. They could bring back the Blockbuster Bowl.

There's a Pop Tarts Bowl? Oh, my.

There is not only a Pop Tarts Bowl, but after the trophy presentation the winning team gets to break off pieces of the bowl mascot and eat them. I shirt you not. Beats a mayonnaise bath I suppose.

 

[I Should Coco]

For some reason I'm imagining Iowa ending up in the Pop Tarts Bowl, and wondering what flavor Kirk Ferentz will request to eat at the pre-game press conference.

I'm guessing unfrosted strawberry. Raw (untoasted).
