Effed up playoff system

[smhawk]

With the current bowl system completely not mattering any longer, it only makes sense to increase at minimum to 16 but maybe even 18-22 teams and potentially utilize double byes for top teams.


If we want to have any connection with bowl games still, just reward the invited program with the bowl game to start the first game of the year, on the year following. Teams that don't get invited can just schedule a team for that week in January every year. Graduated players and transfers may lose out, but there name can be read of as honor at least.

I do agree that they became watered down to the point that probably led to the demise of the bowl system as we knew it.

But there are students, schools, coaches, athletes, and fans that must care about these games or they wouldn't find sponsors or TV deals to keep them running.

I think you have it the other way around. I think the cities and sponsors seek out the bowls and they search for the teams to play in them. That's why there have been so many bowl games added thru the years and teams with losing records have been playing in them the past couple years. It's not the schools asking for more bowl games, it's greedy coporations/individuals setting up bowl games to line their pockets with $$$$$.

It's just now all coming to a head.
