I really wonder if they would have picked byu over houston

I'm sure they don't just want to be the 'byu' bowl. And they only 'need' a byu every couple of years to keep their ticket sales up. Houston is an explosive and exciting team. Las Vegas would likely have been a welcome result to a somewhat downer of a year for their fans.
