any bowl outside of that is just an exhibition, even the NY6 bowls. Personally, it has made the regular season more interesting by playing big name opponents and better schedules. Shoot, next year is an awesome schedule, including at home.

Next year's schedule is a P5 schedule (6 actual P5 teams + BSU (better than Iowa St or Oregon St) + USU (Better than Oregon State)). BYU just plays it in reverse order for the most part.
