That means big bucks for television and big bucks for the bowl's city. Neither groups care about the game.

Both the Sugar and Fiesta want Michigan. Fiesta representatives have been in Ann Arbor the last two weeks.
I agreee with that. I also know that Bowl committees claim that they look for the best match-up that also brings good fan bases. But in reality they look for the team that has the best fan base to generate the most money. It was more evident in 09 when South Carolina got snubbed for the Gator Bowl and Chick Fil A Bowl because those representatives from each bowl didn't think they had a good traveling fan base.

Ohio State is going to play Florida in the Gator Bowl. Michigan vs. Houston is the projected Sugar Bowl (because of the SEC rematch in the NC like everyone said before). I'd rather see Houston vs. Ok State in the Fiesta Bowl, but oh well.
