BYU football: Cougars have numerous bowl possibilities for 2017
By Ron Jensen
Best Case Scenario:
TaxSlayer Bowl
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Payout: $3,383,760
Matchup: SEC No. 8 vs. ACC No. 7 or Notre Dame or B10 No. 5
T.V. coverage: ESPN, 12/30 (Saturday), 12pm eastern
If the SEC doesn’t have an eighth team available for this one, 10-3 or better could get BYU football the call. This would be a huge upgrade from the past few seasons of independence.
Saturday afternoon games on the weekend before New Year’s typically get great ratings. The gorgeous beaches of Florida would be a welcome sight to Cougar fans.
The payout is more than a million above the other options. A match up with a good Big 10 opponent, or a decent ACC foe, sounds intriguing. This could be a blast.
