Got news for you on what all the bowls other then the playoff truly are.Notre Dame should be turning down minor bowl invites at least until they break their major bowl losing streak.
ND going to a minor bowl is just as problematic as a major conference basketball team accepting an NIT invite. Both are huge wastes of time.
It's still a minor bowl. The standard should be starting next year "either we make the CFP or we don't go to a bowl at all."Got news for you on what all the bowls other then the playoff truly are.
Notre Dame does generally adhere to a standard though and the Sun Bowl meets it.
It's still a minor bowl. The standard should be starting next year "either we make the CFP or we don't go to a bowl at all."
The Sun Bowl is a historic bowl. It may not be important but they’re playing a top 20 opponent. It’s not like they’re playing a MAC team. They like the payouts too.It's still a minor bowl. The standard should be starting next year "either we make the CFP or we don't go to a bowl at all."
As I said in the other thread, Eminem put it best about money (which causes more problems than it solves): F*** money, I don't rap for dead presidents.Why would they turn down money? As usual your takes are shit.

Missouri is not north of the Mason-Dixon Line. They would go to the south and bump Oklahoma and Iowa would move in.A 12-team playoff divided along the Mason-Dixon Line (top 6 teams from outside South, top 6 teams from South) would look like this:
Osborne (non-Southern)
Byes: Michigan, Washington
First Round: Penn State at Ohio State, Missouri at Oregon
Bowden (Southern):
Byes: Texas, Alabama
First Round: Oklahoma at Florida State, Ole Miss at Georgia
the most recent example of a team turning down postseason willingly and not because of sanctions wasn't even in football, which generate more money than basketball (UNC willingly opted out of the NIT because they did not perform to a standard)Why would they turn down money? As usual your takes are shit.

That's not what the US Census Bureau says. I went by their definition of South.Missouri is not north of the Mason-Dixon Line
Well Missouri is in the SEC, and Columbia is at more southern latitude than the Mason-Dixon Line, which is at 39°N. Columbia is 38°NThat's not what the US Census Bureau says. I went by their definition of South.
I would want the giant Pop Tart to be a non-fruit flavor like S'mores if I was playing in the game.
I used the symbolic Mason-Dixon Line as the border between the South and the rest of the country.Well Missouri is in the SEC, and Columbia is at more southern latitude than the Mason-Dixon Line, which is at 39°N. Columbia is 38°N

Meanwhile the Fenway Bowl matches SMU against future ACC opponent Boston College, a team the Mustangs will play in their first year in the ACC.
It would be embarrassing but not for the reasons you think, but because everyone at Oregon State is transferring.And it would be highly embarrassing if ND lost to one of the Pac-12 teams that was NOT poached by another conference.
I thought losing the Fiesta Bowl 2 years ago was embarrassing since the Big 12 was perceived as a dying conference at the time. Now it's the Pac-12 that's dying.
