Although I must say that “Pop Tarts Bowl” doesn’t exactly sound like a heavenly ending to a season.

Oh c'mon - who wouldn't want swag bags <full> of Pop Tarts?!?!?

The PopTarts bowl has a storied 35-year history, beginning in 1990 as the Blockbuster Bowl in Miami.
Stanford beat Penn State in the 3rd edition of the bowl.

Blockbuster Bowl (1990–1993)
Carquest Bowl (1994–1997)
MicronPC Bowl (1998)
MicronPC.com Bowl (1999–2000)
Visit Florida Tangerine Bowl (2001)
Mazda Tangerine Bowl (2002–2003)
Champs Sports Bowl (2004–2011)
Russell Athletic Bowl (2012–2016)
Camping World Bowl (2017–2019)
Cheez-It Bowl (2020–2022)[a]

Funny...Notre Dame had a signatory relationship with this Bowl, and played in it twice, the last time ranked #14. Now #9 in the AP ranking, they won't go to a bowl game because les enfants terribles are pouting that they are not in the CFP. Boo Hoo.

Does anyone know which teams are ranked below Stanford (#81 on ESPN index) that are playing in FBS bowl games? Appalachian State, Delaware, Louisiana, Georgia Southern, Missouri State, Hawaii, Western Kentucky, Coastal Carolina, Arkansas State, Mississippi State, Jacksonville State, Troy, Central Michigan, FIU, Southern Miss, Kennesaw State, Fresno State, Army, Western Michigan and Miami (OH).

Just those 20? I feel like I missed a few.
