8 wins (out of a 12 game regular season) is 75% and the most reasonable for a bowl invite
Math is not your strong suit.

I was originally thinking 9 wins, 75% of 12, then looked at the argument for 8 and was swayed to 8 by the argument made by VagueMessage in the post above. Math is good, memory was not.
91.7% = 11 wins, so 12-0 or 11-1 would be the A students
83.3% = 10 wins, the B students
75.0% = 9 wins, the C students
66.7% = 8 wins, the D students
58.3% = 7 wins, the high F students
50.00 = 6 wins, the low F students
I still feel if you have 2 losses you should never play for a National Championship unless there are no other undefeated or 1 loss teams in the Big 5 pool (ACC / B12 / B1G / PAC / SEC) because that is rewarding a team for not excelling. I say fook a 2 loss PAC team entering the playoff just because they won their CCG. If the playoff was in effect this season the playoff should be :
#1 Florida State vs #3 Alabama (so 2 SEC teams to not face in the semi's)
#2 Auburn vs #4 Michigan State (the Spartans had to play 13 games, including a CCG)
If you have this everybody gets a ribbon nonsense, you would have this in a 4 team playoff :
#1 Florida State vs Stanford (because the PAC will get a team in)
#2 Auburn vs Michigan State (because the B1G will get a team in)
This would be the 8 team model / (2) B1G, PAC, and SEC teams + (1) ACC and B12 team:
#1 ACC vs #2 PAC (winner plays winner of) #2 SEC vs #1 B12
vs
#1 B1G vs #1 PAC (winner plays winner of) #1 SEC vs #2 B1G
This would be the actual teams in the 8 team playoff:
#1 Florida State vs #10 Oregon (because they will not let 3 SEC teams in, and Missouri will get screwed)
vs
#3 Alabama vs #6 Baylor (so the B12 gets a team in
#4 Michigan State vs #5 Stanford (Rose Bowl type matchup)
vs
#2 Auburn vs #7 Ohio State (because the B1G will have the vote on the committee)

Then don't watch. If people really didn't watch them, those bowls would go away.
I'm sure this is not true. These bowls played before more empty seats than filled seats continue because some dork sponsor gives $$$$$$ to the bowl officials on the take.
