Not been able to read the Cabin as much lately, so apologies in advance if a redundant thread or answered elsewhere:

Is there a presale for possible bowl choices as in the past? Whether correct or not, I'd thought it showed well if we bought tickets ahead of time for selection purposes. Maybe all that changed with the Sunbelt Champion's autobid to NOLA. Nothing shows in the Yosef Club landing page for ticket sales, and I'd rather not spend another couple of hours trying to get through to the ticket office phone line while people are buying for the Sunbelt ChAmpionship game.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Just looking to enjoy this roller coaster ride of a season as long as I can!

They have done this in year's past; where you could choose which bowls you'd be okay with going to, and they'd charge for the correct one after announcement. But they did NOT do the presale this year.

Not sure as to why, but I believe you are correct to assume it probably has something to do with the SBC Championship game and the auto bid.
