Amen to that Jake............
They have a Bowl game for every household product known to man. And the NCAA , Universities, and sponsers of these Bowls are so consumed by the money .......it would be hard to reverse track and get some kind of legitimacy back to the Bowl season.
I would assign a conference Champion to a respceted Bowl(win your Conference your in )....by doing that you could eliminate alot of the irrevelant Bowls. And for all the playoff pundits, bracket in the Bowls into a single-elimination playoff ( you lose , your out ) . And the rankings , well use those possibly as a seeding format . Regardless if #1 played #2 or if #1 played #10 in the beggining........win your game and you move on. Yea there would be issues with , additional games and so on but it's done in other College sports. And foramt it accordingly, but it starts with eliminating these B.S. Bowls............

Good. I think they should have more bowls. As a fan of college football, I enjoy watching the games even if it's between two smaller programs. Two more games means possibly two more nights that I can take over the TV instead of having to watch some crap like Grey's Anatomy or I Love New York.
How does adding more bowls diminish the accomplishments associated with the others? Nobody's gonna look down on a Rose Bowl berth because a couple directional schools got to play a game in Mobile, AL in December. Furthermore, nobody's gonna see that some team out there won the Aqua Velva Bowl and mistake them for a team like the Buckeyes.

elite teams, like in bball, aren't the issue. It's the worthless value of "making it" for the borderline teams once you start letting everyone in.

Maybe not, but it waters down the value of virtually all the others.jimotis4heisman;1170121; said:
Bingo. It used to be a big deal to make it to a bowl game...now it's nothing.jwinslow;1170124; said:

If the value of "making it" is so worthless, then why are people so worried about it? Just let the worthless teams play their worthless game.
And if you're taking the elite teams out of the equation, who cares whether a 6-6 C-USA team playing an extra game diminishes the accomplishments of a 8-4 Sun Belt team? I'm sure neither of those teams care - they're just happy to be there.
I agree that the value is worthless in terms of prestige. They're only exhibition games. Nobody is conferring Rose Bowl status on any of those smaller bowls. In the meantime, the economy of college football supports it, and it's good for the players, programs and athletic departments that will now be included because of this.
The greatest negative impact I see this having is on my vWallet, as I will inevitably lose 90% of the vBets I place on these bowls.
