You get to see some teams we never really get to see play each other and you can watch intermittently throughout the day. I do not understand the problem either.

If I could like this post 2x, I would.
1. Valero Alamo Bowl vs. Big 12
2. National University Holiday Bowl vs. Big Ten
3. Foster Farms Bowl vs. Big Ten
4. Hyundai Sun Bowl vs. ACC
5. Las Vegas Bowl vs. Mountain West
6. Motel 6 Cactus Bowl vs. Big 12
You're right, but...
Then, Cotton, Fiesta and Peach are open for at-large births if we've got teams ranked high enough. That can be in addition to 1 or more CFP bids (Rose Bowl is CFP this year) or in lieu of that if the Pac-12 doesn't get in the playoff.
We may change affiliations, but with a 12 team conference we won't be adding bowls. We couldn't even fill all our slots last year.
It's possible to agree with everything you say and still want a bowl tie in out East.
Would be nice to get a higher profile SEC opponent out to Vegas when the stadium is built. I think you would like to see the bowl games like this which would obviously take some tinkering.
1) Alamo Bowl
2) Holiday Bowl- Will this move to LA? I would love to keep it in SD but if that soccer stadium isn't built it won't happen
3) Las Vegas Bowl
4) Cactus Bowl- Please move this to Glendale
5) Foster Farms Bowl
6) Sun Bowl
1) Alamo Bowl
2) Holiday Bowl- Will this move to LA? I would love to keep it in SD but if that soccer stadium isn't built it won't happen
3) Las Vegas Bowl
4) Cactus Bowl- Please move this to Glendale
5) Foster Farms Bowl
6) Sun Bowl
I like the bowls and schools like the bowls. If you don't like them don't watch.
They should eliminate a few of the bowls. No way that a 5 win team should be going, the minimum should be 6 wins and not counting FCS wins in the total.
For a lot of the kids the bowls are a nice reward for the efforts they put in during the season. Have a good year and you get a chance to go someplace nice for the holiday season, have some fun and end your season on a high note. They also make a nice potential holiday trip for the supporters who fund college football and give the ADs a great opportunity to go after donor money.
For the "Expand the playoffs" crowd go watch the NFL. I don't want to see an 8 team or a 12 or 16 or 24 which is the road that it would eventually end up.
And @sackman is right in that the PAC12 needs to pursue a bowl that gives us better exposure on the east coast by playing in that region or against an SEC team, or both.

Did a tour in Tampa...this is truth!
We have two tie ins with Big 12 and Big 10 (not including Rose) - Pac-12 should definitely look at trading one of those out for SEC.
