Big East bowls finalized

Try not to think too hard here … but if you can explain this succinctly, please do.

The Birmingham News reported a few weeks ago that the Papajohns.com and Liberty bowls will share the SEC’s final two bowl picks. The two bowls will rotate who gets an SEC team when that conference doesn’t have enough bowl-eligible teams. When there are enough SEC bowl-eligible teams, the bowls will work together to make their picks.

The addition of the Liberty Bowl completes the Big East’s bowl lineup. The Big East champion receives a BCS bowl bid, followed by Champs Sports (vs. ACC), Meineke Car Care (vs. ACC), New Era Pinstripe (vs. Big 12), Liberty/Papajohns.com (vs. SEC or C-USA) and Beef ‘O Brady’s-St. Petersburg (vs. C-USA).
