They need to change this rule. You should have a winning season to go to a bowl game. All a team needs to do now is schedule 4 patsies and go 2-6 in conference. That's ridiculous.
you haven't figured out yet that college fb is run by bowl money? no way they'd change this rule. for one thing, there would not be enough eligible teams to fill all the crappy bowl slots.

still LOL'ing at someone calling the Gator Bowl a major bowl....

Who scheduled 4 patsies?


Not necessarily Florida...but Florida State wasn't a world beater by any stretch of the imagination this year. But before we went to 12 games, you had to at least win 3 conference games. Now all you need to do is win 2 and schedule four rent a wins.

True, but getting to 6 wins only allows you to play in a bowl, it doesn't guarantee you one.

They still have not received their bowl and/or scholarship penalties.
The NCAA moves slowly.

I am guessing 4 scholarships over two years, starting in 2012. one year bowl ban next year.

5th largest payout out of the NON-BCS bowls,
1. Cap one $4,600,000
2. Cotton $3,625,000
3. Outback $3,500,000
4. Chick fil A $2,932,500
5. Gator $2,700,000

THATS A MAJOR BOWL IMO

They're going to get stomped by a crappy Ohio State team. Florida is fricked. I can't wait for next year to get here.

I hope to god things get better. 14-11 the past two seasons is ridiculous at Florida.

Both teams are pretty awful brah . So maybe it might be an actual game

That said, the last 2 seasons have been abysmal. We'll see how 2012 goes, we need some help, BADLY.

It is a known fact that AU bought their way into whatever that bowl was that they played Northwestern a couple of years ago.

The Gator Bowl used to be a major bowl. In fact it was the ACC's #2 or #3 bowl a few years ago correct? The Gator Bowl pretty much accepted taken a couple of steps down when it decided to tie-in with the SEC. What order are they in SEC bowl invites? At the best #6.
