Bowl preferences are subjective
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A lot of people rank bowls based on how much money the bowl pays out or the prestige factor of their team’s opponent.
I have to tell you that reporters come at this very differently. We look at the date (does it conflict with somewhere else we want to be on New Year’s Eve or Christmas, for example), the time (oh no, not another game story written late at night on deadline) and the destination city (will I have to pack every jacket I own to handle the weather and three books to read to fight the boredom?).
Players I talk to care about fun activities and prestige. What do you look for in a bowl game?
