Sloppy College Bowl Games

Every game so far has been full of mistakes due to the long layoff these teams have had. Another vote for playoff system, or a later schedule.....

How about just 10-15 bowls, what are there 30+ now? Teams at .500 don't deserve to be in a bowl. It is all about $$$$

The Pinstripe Bowl, yea right, Yankee Stadium tonight K St vs The Orangemen. I think both are 7-5

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I am sooo tired of Bowl games. It's all about the money, totally.

SI has an article on the site about how much some of these colleges spend on Football, like 30+ million? 3 million in salary for the head coach alone?

I watched some of that while on the treadmill, actually was fairly exciting game.

Generally most are boring, even some of the big ones.

PLAYOFFS!!!

i am so sick of the BCS Bowls porking America with their ficafta
payola and good old boys network BS making a mockery of the National Championship.

what they are to BLIND to realize is that they would have better football from their teams, bigger revenues thru TV that is timely, and that they will have a nation riveted to "December Delirium".

they can even still rotate the NCS Game from site to site. if it's just about advertising $$$, let them pay the universities from TV and ADS and play the games at the home of the team with the better win/loss.

seems like a no-brainer to me, gents!!
