One of the toughest things with this bowl lineup is that BYU took over the Mountain West’s Hawaii Bowl slot. That means that Hawaii will have to travel to the mainland to compete in its bowl game. That means that Hawaii will need to be given a decently high-profile opportunity. For now, the Birmingham Bowl against a ranked Cincinnati team seems the best option.
I do have to point out one final important item. ESPN has the right to shuffle around bowl teams between games that ESPN owns. The network has done this before, though it is relatively rare. It might make sense to do so in order to facilitate a better game for Hawaii, or maybe keep Hawaii on the Islands.
