There is only i game that is important and that is between OU and florida..Thank God for the NFL Playoffs..I get way more excited over the season that the bowl games...but i guess im in the minority (dont tell Auburn i used that word )

I like bowl games because you usually get to play a team that you rarely see in a regular season.

i know i should root for my team thats why i am going...but like when i go to the Titans playoff game/games it will be like with the goal of getting to the Super Bowl..but like sitting at the bowl game would be like tennessee losing to Indianapolis in the post-season (ala Bama losing to UF) and then playing an extra game against...say the Cardinals..its like i hope we win but you truly know the season ended with that last lost..i dont know guess i dont make any sense

This year's slate of bowl games is shitty overall.

I'm interested and will probably only watch the following:

Oregon vs Oklahoma State
LSU vs GT
Bama vs Utah
UF vs OU
USC vs Penn St.

That's about it.

And I agree, thank God for the NFL playoffs.

If youre only interested in your team if it is in the NC hunt, then that would eliminate most games, most years.

yes but thats b/c it was exciting to beat UT, LSU, Auburn for the bragging rights blah blah..but when you are #1 for the majority of the season i want an SEC and/or national title which is greater than winning specific games...so when that is lost it doesnt make a tier 2 bowl game that exciting to me

For almost every non BCS bowl game, the only people that care about the game are the fans of the two teams really. Then for the BCS, it gets a little better but it still serves no purpose. The only game that serves a purpose is the championship. I mean, do we really care who wins the Texas Bowl or the New Orleans Bowl? No, unless I am a fan of one of the teams. The system is terrible!
