But I wanted to see the Powerpuff Girls bowl and whatever other crazy one they could create.

Now if only this would lead to reducing in the future.

Would support this

Good.

New eliminate about 25 of them.

Or better yet, institute an actual playoff system like the FCS.

I like the bowls, I don't know why, maybe it's nostalgia, but I do like them. But there definitely is at least 10-15 too many.


In the past 2 years alone they've added 7 new ones. That's asinine.
80 teams teams are going to bowls out what 120? Didn't a 5-7 and team play in a bowl this year? That should never happen. And there should be as little 6-6 teams as possible.

oh well, Texas will be in the CFB playoff, so this doesn't bother me

People always complain its about money. I don't understand that argument. I've watched these bowls, some are poorly attended. I get that you'd have to find venues but it could be done. What they should do is use the BCS bowls for like the Quarterfinals. Maybe the first round games can be on site. I know that they will never wanna kill something like the Rose Bowl so including it is important.

Now that's what they should be about. Attract to destinations. They put one in the Bahamas recently lol

Didn't a 5-7 and team play in a bowl this year?

Three of them. Nebraska, Minnesota and San Jose State... and they all won!

Because of that fact, the NCAA will add more bowls after 2019 because 5-7 teams are undefeated in bowl games.

I enjoy watching bowl games. It gives me a chance to see teams that I normally wouldn't watch. But yeah, there are way too many.

I'm surprised winless BC wasn't invited!

 

[DaveG]

BC wasn't winless, they had 3 on the season, they just went 0fer in the ACC.


You know, THAT's what they should do for these bottom tier bowls. Kansas vs UCF would have been one of the years must-watch games.

 

[guinness]

At this point, they should add bowls for the worst of the worst teams, like a 0-10 team vs 0-11...as for all the bowl games, it's beyond the tipping point when over half the FBS makes it in, and sub-.500 teams are making it to them because some of them are big enough schools.

It dilutes the end product, and Shreveport, Boise, Mobile, etc, aren't on my hotspot travel destinations either. (well, actually I would go to Boise, just not for a bowl game).

Why not give the players "good sport, thanks for your participation!" trophies after each regular season game too?

That's a new thought. Never thought about that idea. The prize for the winner has to be good though.
