The BCS deserves these empty stadiums. Matchups get worse and worse every year.

Not like they care though, UF has to buy those seats regardless of whether the fans pay.

Ours aren't much better did you see the crowd in ATL?



Yeah, but that was the Peach Bowl. Nobody cares. Sugar Bowl's a far more prestigious bowl. You should be able to sell plenty of tickets for a BCS bowl game.

It's not just UF to blame. Locals should be in there, the tickets are probably sub-face outside.

And this is precisely why the first playoff games should go to the higher seeds stadium. If fans have to travel to two separate stadiums to try and see their team the attendance will be terrible.

You nailed it. Maybe rotating the bowls in their current region would be better?

Sugar bouncing between Houston, Dallas and Nola.

Orange between Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville.

Fiesta between Phoenix, San Antonio, and San Diego.

Rose needs to stay where it's at due to history, but rotating to San Francisco is possible if it would fly.

It's not like UF goes to the Sugar Bowl very often.

This is a bad showing.

Their fans just aren't hardcore like other SEC teams.

I'm pretty sure most SEC teams would've sold it out (minus Miss State, Vandy, and maybe Kentucky and Missouri). Florida fans just suck



You are saying if we made it to the sugar bowl (first BCS bowl in our history) that we would not sell out? Vandy is the only one that probably wouldn't sell that out

It took everything in your power not to put this instead of what you put, I'm sure.
