One of the “perks” that is sold by Big Bowl Inc. every year as a way to maintain its chokehold on the postseason, is that this is a gift for teams and the fans to go to bowl destinations with “desirable weather.” They would especially want to point that out this week as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Penn State Nittany Lions travel to Miami to play the college football playoff semifinals in the Orange Bowl.
Much was made about the weather for both schools as they hosted first round playoff games, and it was awesome to have real winter weather for the playoffs at both venues — not to mention that the stadium atmospheres were top notch.
