Give bowls to 9 win teams and eliminate 50% of them.

Most 9 win P5 teams are ranked. The bowls would be watchable and would mean more.

Why would they mean more? Because preseason rankings matter whether we want to admit it or not, and they'll be fighting for that rank in a bowl.

LSU in particular has had some major help with high preseason rankings.

Nobody wants to watch 2 6-6 teams buttfrick each other.

Agreed. Especially with the portal now. Most of these bowl games are glorified scrimmages. These aren't the same teams from a month ago.

Eta - Maybe 8 wins

I thought 8 wins too, but 9 was my attempt at making all of if not most of the bowls ranked matchups.

No issue with that at all. Make it an achievement.

Numbers debatable, but 100% agree with your stance. Cool getting to see AU play today but I have minimal vested interest.

I think I’d be okay with this. The opt outs, transfer portal, and too many bowls make the whole product lacking.

See what I mean though? At least if AU had 9 wins it would be respectable? Instead you guys got blown the frick out and nothing was gained except a cloud of shite over the program.

I never understood why 500 are rewarded for literally being average. At the very least you should have to be over 500

You don’t want your share of the revenue from these bowl games? No one wants to give that money up.
