Re: Gator Bowl or Holiday Bowl
Hard to say, but I think it boils down to conference.
The Holiday Bowl is usually Pac-10 vs. Big XII whereas the Gator Bowl is ACC vs. Big XII or Big East. Generally I could see the Holiday Bowl having a better match up of better teams than the Gator Bowl. That's not always the case. Personally, I would like to see a game of Texas vs. Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl, instead of a Texas vs. California...but that's just personal preference. If you're trying to recruit West Coast kids...you better hope a Holiday Bowl victory. If you're trying to recruit East Coast kids...you hope for a Gator Bowl invite and win. As far as $ goes towards schools/conferences, I'm not sure. I would guess Holiday Bowl buts that's all it would be, a guess.

Re: Gator Bowl or Holiday Bowl
I'd give a slight edge to the Gator Bowl. Games on (or after) Jan 1 just have that added bit of prestige vs. the pre New-Year's games.

Re: Gator Bowl or Holiday Bowl
Seems to me the Gator Bowl lost its luster years ago. At one time it was relevant, but now.... not so much. So, with that said Holiday Bowl - hands down.

Re: Gator Bowl or Holiday Bowl
I'd think the Gator Bowl has a larger National audience being on News Years day, thus collecting more money.
Poinsettia rakes'em in too though.
