There are too many bowls and too many kickoff classic games. The value of these bowl games is diminished each year. I would expect the attendance to continue to decline.
I agree. It may take a decade or so of playoffs but I think bowl games are on the way out. If the number of teams in the playoffs increases to 8, 12, or 16, I'd say the bowl games are doomed.

I like the bowl games between major conferences, but I'd prefer playoffs. Can you imagine a playoff home game at Tiger Stadium, Texas A&M, Michigan, FSU, Bama, etc. Man that'd blow NFL playoffs out of the water.

Nah. They'll just continue to incorporate them into whatever playoff format they use.
Live sports television advertising dollars is what's driving this.
As long as the ratings are good the bowls are here to stay.
