BYU football: Cougars have numerous bowl possibilities for 2017
By Ron Jensen
Really Good Case Scenario:
Birmingham Bowl
Location: Birmingham, AL
Payout: $2,025,000
Matchup: AAC No. 2 vs. SEC No. 9 or ACC No. 10
T.V. coverage: ESPN, 12/23 (Saturday), 12pm eastern
I believe 9-4 or better would grab the attention of this bowl, if the SEC and ACC can’t provide for this spot.
Alabama would be a pretty nice location. Again, Saturday afternoon before Christmas is a really good place to be slotted. A lot of eye balls watch the game, plus a quick flight gets you home in time for mom’s glazed ham and homemade rolls.
At $2 million+, this paycheck is nothing to shack a stick at. The American’s No. 2 team should be a formidable rival, and could even possibly be ranked.
