You don't have to wait long for a new bowl lineup.  The roster changes next year.

But it changes very little, right? I don't think we're getting much better matchups.

We do.  The locations of the bowls don't change much, but the ranking of the opponents does.  For example, I believe the Alamo goes from Big-12 #3 to Big-12 #2 (so hopefully #2 v #2) and the Holiday bowl will be a Big-10 opponent (listed as one of the Big10 #2, #3, or #4, maybe it rotates).  Still no SEC matchup, which is too bad, but they'll never choose to play in a bowl outside of their little corner of the country.  Best we could hope for would be a tie in with them in Texas or something, or us be willing to send a team to Florida every year (not gonna happen).
