I kind of feel the same way on first blush...but...
 
With the Peach and Cotton Bowl off to the big leagues, I'm not sure what it a prestige bowl any more once you get past the playoff/access bowls.
 
So the Alamo Bowl is prestigious now I guess?  The Capital One bowl?
 
I kind of look at the prominence that something like the Belk Bowl or Pinstripe Bowl being a prominent bowl for the ACC and want to gag, but the PAC-12's #4 bowl will be the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. The Big 12's #4 bowl will be the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
 
I like having some access to the Gator and Capital One bowls now, and we've got upgraded opponents in the Belk and Pinstripe Bowls.  I don't know.  Seems like and improvement.
 
I think we're going to have to just wait and see what bowls emerge as "pretigious" or not in this new system.  I tend to think the dropoff from the playoff/access bowls to the second tier will be so great, there won't be a whole lot of difference between individual bowls on that second tier.
 
I just honestly don't know what to make of the bowls any more.
