I remember becoming bowl eligible and celebrating like crazy


Absolutely.

Back in the day it used to be a real achievement to make a bowl. You played ten games a year and there were maybe ten bowls total.

When we jumped to eleven game seasons the bowls jumped to 15 and then twenty ... they've kinda gotten out of hand now.

They need to cut the bowls back to around 25 and stop there. 25 at the most.

Six win teams should not be bowl eligible.

I remember being excited about being bowl eligible in 2000 even when there were quite a few bowls.
