Peach Bowl

I'm kind of wondering how this middle tier bowl ended up being part of the playoff.

I remember growing up and seeing games like Indiana/Allburn at Fulton County Stadium. It wasn't anywhere near the Orange, Rose, Sugar etc. It couldn't even touch the Cotton or Fiesta. It was named after a homophobic fast food place like two years ago. Now here we are. Weird.

The big 4 used to be Rose, Cotton, Sugar, & Orange. In the 80's the Fiesta Bowl supplanted the Cotton Bowl. The Peach & Citrus bowls were the leaders of the next tier down.

Oregon got their semi in the Rose Bowl. That would saved me a lot of money

It seems like the Peach Bowl will take some steam out of the 2018 Auburn game because I think a lot of fans with $ or that want to travel might go to this game and in 2018 say "Meh we spent money on Atlanta already."

We were allotted like 8000 for that game anyway, but yeah I could see people on the fence doing that.

Game will be in that brand new stadium. That'll have some draw.
