re: Myth: "The BCS/CFP ruined college football by making all other bowl games irrelevant."

I think the NCAA also just needs to let everyone keep practicing if they wish during bowl season, since this is always brought up about the advantages of going to bowl games.

Having 35 bowl games is what made the vast majority of bowl games irrelevant.

This is absolutely true. 70 teams going bowling, often with losing records or near losing records, is silly.

I think a 10 game regular season starting either the last Saturday in August or the first Saturday in September depending on the year and ending by mid November and a 32 team tournament is the fix.....16 of those teams would be eliminated in the first round.....another 8 in the second and another 4 in the third. It'd be over by for almost everyone by Christmas even with a bye week during the season and another during the tournament. We saw this year scheduling doesn't requires years of planning simply a desire to schedule a game. It would eliminate conference title games so it will never happen but it would allow for a 8 game conference schedule, one regular non conference rivalry like UGA/GT and one rent a win during the regular season, with a BYE, and and end to the season for everyone with the same number of games for the 2 finalists and fewer games for 2 semifinalists who played in a conference championship game....and would produce some good matchups in weeks 2 and 3. Far more compelling than most bowl games and non conference games currently played. It seems simple but it ain't ever going to happen.
