Well, here is the answer to the earlier question: Yes, the bowl
committees CAN "justify" picking someone ahead of us. However, their
attempts at justification are likely to be somewhat fanciful and,

Fortunately, the Sun Bowl always has been, and remains, dead last on my
personal list of desirable destinations among the Big Ten-associated
bowls.
