2014 looks halfway decent if we play a Big12 team instead of Army:

 

2014 Season
BBVA Compass Bowl, Birmingham, Ala. – vs. SEC
Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg, Fla. – vs. ACC
Miami Beach Bowl, Miami, Fla. – vs. Conference USA
Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman, Annapolis, Md. – vs. ACC
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Fort Worth, Texas – vs. Army/Big 12
Bahamas Bowl, Nassau, Bahamas – vs. MAC

Its being reported that the AAC will play a bowl game in Orlando yearly vs a Sun Belt Team.  Announcement supposed to come out by Wed.  Not sure if it will start in 2014 or 2015.   Game to be played in Citrus Dump before the Other 2 bowls already being played there.

 

Just curious as to who it's being reported by ...

SunBelt wants a "fourth guaranteed game,†and the AAC wants to add more bowls to the line up. Announcement should be official on Wed.

Bahamas Bowl, Nassau, Bahamas – vs. MAC

 

That's the sunny side of it.

Now include what position of each match-up (i.e. AAC #2 vs SEC #8) and it looks less promising.

I was hoping it was an April 14th joke .... Of course, it is the Slantinel and the chance is still there for it to be wrong.

Awful. Also what is the Bahamas Bowl lol?  What a joke this system has become.

Why don't we play a bowl game against a Big 10 school? 

 

Bahamas bowl? Cannot justify spending the money to watch a game against a MAC opponent.

I'm actually a fan of the bahamas bowl. No, the stadium is not as big as I'd like it to be. But it's a close international game in a fantastic destination with access from multiple Eastern Seaboard airports.

They should partner up with MWC for something like this.  Would be better matchups than with Sun Belt, but I get that they care about butts in seats more than good football.  At least at this bow's level.
