re: Bowl Matchups Thread

I've said for awhile now that Bowls should be 8, possibly even 9 wins.

8 wins (out of a 12 game regular season) is 75% and the most reasonable for a bowl invite

Enough teams for 24 Bowls with one odd team out.

24 bowls is much better than 35 or 36!

I might add an additional limit for schools not in Big 5 schools to win 9 or 10 games because of weaker SoS. Based on regular season wins only. Going 8-4 in the Sun Belt is probably easier than going 8-4 in the SEC.

Bowls are supposed to be a reward for a good season.

I would add that teams should be paired closer to rank than picking for beauty contests.

Taking out the top 4 (for the playoff next year) you would have bowls games like this using this years final BCS :

Stanford vs Baylor
Ohio State vs Missouri
South Carolina vs Oregon
Oklahoma vs Clemson
Oklahoma State vs Arizona State
Central Florida vs LSU
UCLA vs Louisville
Wisconsin vs Texas A&M (moved 1 slot to prevent SEC vs SEC)
Fresno State vs Georgia (moved 1 slot to prevent SEC vs SEC)
Northern Illinois vs Duke
Southern Cal vs Miami
