re: The new “opt out” bowls

So, the solution is...if we want to stop opt outs we should just make all bowl games playoff games?

No, and this is stupid if you think this is what anyone has said.

This isn't 1995 anymore. 8-3 with a 2-1 record against your rivals and a trip to the Tangerine Bowl isn't a good season.

It sucks, but players today only care about making the playoff. A 16 team playoff where every conference champion gets an autobid keeps more players and fans interested in the sport for a longer period of time.

I know that I watch less college football in general when Georgia gets taken out of playoff contention. I still watch Georgia games but other games mean nothing to me anymore. That is bad for the sport.
