Too many damn bowls

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Too many damn bowls

This never made sense to me, what's wrong with more football games?

 

[VolnJC]

Too many damn bowls

Yep, but that said I'll probably watch most of them, even that one in the Bahamas

A team with a losing record shouldn't be rewarded with a bowl game

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

A team with a losing record shouldn't be rewarded with a bowl game

I don't care how many games they win, give me more football.

 

[Orange&White]

A team with a losing record shouldn't be rewarded with a bowl game

I agree, but you at least have to like the way they choose those teams. Highest APR score so it rewards the teams that do well in the classroom.

I don't understand why people are upset about more football.

It's not like the six win teams are playing for anything important, they're just getting to play. Let's enjoy it.

Also, go Monarchs. A bowl win with a win today equals a ten win season. If Marshall somehow beats WKU today, they play for the C-USA Championship as well.

Vandy NOT going bowling! Vols win 38-24!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Vandy NOT going bowling! Vols win 38-24!

They're probably going bowling regardless of the outcome of tonight's game.

 

[TennFan]

Need to change that teams should win 7 to get bowl bid. Change the number to 25 at most or even 20. Only top 40 or 50 teams go.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This never made sense to me, what's wrong with more football games?

From that standpoint, I have no problem with them. As long as people recognize it's not nearly as big of an accomplishment as it used to be.

Vandy NOT going bowling! Vols win 38-24!

Vandy will still go even with a loss.


I don't mind the amount of bowl games. I'm off 2 weeks at Christmas every year so I like it.

The bad thing is the NCAA starts squishing them all together the closer to new years and it's hard to see them all.
