Also good on UAB getting the Bahamas Bowl, players deserve it. Hope this doesn't send the program too far back underwater financially and another one of Bear's kids decides to close to school accordingly.

The Seattle Bowl was played at Safeco Field. Because of how the field is designed, both teams had to be situated on the same sideline. If you were sitting out in right field, you weren't seeing the action. If they could get CenturyLink or Husky Stadium I could see it, but...

It's also in a lovely baseball stadium. It's the perfect garbage bowl.

Jeep pulled its sponsorship and the organizers basically lost their shirts on the team payouts. The NCAA pulled the plug after that.

Does Washington have a hope to play in a NY6 bowl? Per rankings they're ~13th. NY6 needs 12 teams and the G5 team UCF is ahead of them at present. If either TCU or Ohio State lose their championship game badly, then be at 10-3, would it be enough to drop either of them out of the NY6 in favor of Washington? Pac12 champ is likely to Fiesta so a second would be to Cotton or Peach. TCU home town discount could keep them in Cotton and Ohio State name could keep them in regardless.

It'll depend on where they are on Tuesday, but they'll be behind whoever wins between USC and Stanford for sure, plus if Stanford wins they'll probably still be behind USC. Give that we're probably going to have three B1G/SEC teams to take care of, the UCF/Memphis winner, both Miami/Clemson and TCU/Oklahoma and the Pac-12 winner, I don't see an opening for Washington. Your best hope is that Oklahoma beats the brakes off of TCU and USC beats Stanford, which might be enough for Washington to limp in. I wouldn't bet on it, however.
