I dispute this information

[edit] Misinformation

This information is obviously wrong. I haven't checked through this thoroughly yet, but upon first glance you can see that the Insight Bowl information is wrong. It says the Big 12 #6 will face the Big 10 #6, yet Arizona State from the Pac 10 played in that bowl this year. I'll try to fix whatever I find but someone may want to look over this page.

• There are a lot of shakeups in the bowl system after this year. The Big XII is dropping the Fort Worth and Champs Sports bowls, and picking up the Gator and one other - maybe the Insight. I don't know all the details myself but we should probably be clear in the article to have all of this year's matchups or all of next year's matchups correct.

  • UPDATE: The data posted is correct as per the NCAAfootball.net website as of July 1, 2006. In addition, I have posted information for three new games - the International (Toronto), New Mexico (Albuquerque) and Birmingham Bowls - onto the site. NoseNuggets 6:01 PM US EDT July 1 2006.
  1. 6 does not necessarily mean the 6th place team from a conference. It can also merely mean that they get the 6th selection out of all bowls affiliated with that conference and they can then take any bowl team eligible that still has not been selected to a bowl. This makes sense for bowls because for example say the Armed Forces Bowl in a CUSA year gets a #4 pick, they would much rather get one of the Texas teams in the selection process that is more regional to Fort Worth, than to end up with Marshall or Southern Miss type school that has a long travel distance.--Rangers85 15:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
