Because college football's Power Five conferences prefer to play each other in bowl games, the smaller conferences are exploring opportunities to create additional bowl games next season, sources said.

As many as nine locations are under consideration to begin bowl games in 2014, according to sources: Miami, Orlando, Little Rock, Ark.; Boca Raton, Fla.; Montgomery, Ala.; Los Angeles; Ireland; Dubai and either Toronto or Nassau, Bahamas.

Any new bowls created in 2014 would be for the smaller conferences: the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt. An NCAA moratorium to add new bowls expires after the 2013 season.

Anyone up for a team trip to Dubai? Maybe we can win the new "Oil Bowl."

Does anyone have any frequent flyer miles to share?

Is this simply laying the groundwork to have things in place when the split with the "Big 5" becomes official and we're left with our own postseason?

If they're looking at international travel, the only thing that makes sense would be the culmination of a playoff.

A "Tier 2 Title Game"?

I think you might have access to some of those NSA files...
