Which bowls feature the best two teams? Obviously the Orange and Cotton. Based on the lowest combined Saragin ranking, here are all the bowls ranked from worst to best. Atlanta gets the worst and best: the Celebration Bowl features the two worst ranked bowl teams, and the Peach Bowl is the 5th best matchup.
Both the Pinstripe and Alamo Bowl scored a 58, so I broke the tie with the most desirable locale: New York City trumps San Antonio for most people. Miami travels further north than most teams travel south.
