I’d say in most years, BYU would not be a high priority over other teams for prestigious bowl games. But the Firsta Bowl has attendance numbers for all the teams being considered. I’m a post (not really) COVID world, where people are trying to recuperate funds, BYU is as attractive as can be. A BYU/ND bowl in the west would sell out in a day. A Michigan State /Ole Miss matchup (or similar) would be nice, but not as many butts in chairs. Could be wrong, but this is the only reason BYU might sneak in over others.
