There were 32 teams that got to go to Bowl games in 1992.

For a total of 16 games per year (for Bowl games).

Now, there are 80 teams making it in, out of 120.

Is this really fair? It seems like cheapened football to me.

If you are going to do that...at least put the larger Universities together so we can all share the same money this way.

I don't get it. 32 used to make it.

Why 80 all of a sudden?

Same reason there can't be any winners at field day anymore.

Money and sponsorships. But the number of bowls has diminished the accomplishment and the CFP is killing attendance at most of the bowls.

But I watch as many of them as I can.

On one hand, I hate it.

On the other, it's Christmas season and there's a frickton of college football on.

I like having a ton of bowl games to watch. However, I do think there are way too many people trying to hop on the gravy train

LSU was 2-9 in 1992.

We may have been close to qualifying in the new "bowl landscape."

It used to mean something to get to a bowl. Hell we got to bowl games during our probation years of 6-6. The bowl system is a joke.
