re: Saban: CFB Playoff is why players are skipping bowl games

No...just a big exagerration. The only real issue is that they have created way too many bowls and it doesn't mean much now. It used to seem like a reward for the better teams each year. It means a lot to the smaller teams that get invites, but there are a ton of mediocre teams playing and increasingly smaller crowds watching those games. I don't know how a number bowls exist with how few people attend them.
