Non playoff bowls

If you want to see humble watch the Finebaum show today and his Bama followers that make up about half of his show and they exude humble.

Bama fans should never be a model for behavior in any respect. They have sounded like a bunch of bitter, spoiled children when I have heard them this week.

Bammers weeping. Hope it's a long, sad cry.

Now with the expansion of the playoff do you guys see these lower tier bowl games eventually going away? I don’t see how they’re even profitable, honestly if you’re not in the playoff now I don’t think anybody cares. I saw Miami going to the pop tart bowl, boy I bet they’re excited about that lol. I thought they should’ve done away with these lower tier bowl games years ago and should’ve raised it to eight wins.

Why? No one has to watch them. If teams are willing to play, and if sponsors are willing to pay, it’s no skin off anyone’s nose.

But not players just opting out because they are not in the playoffs.....

Point was that teams not expecting to make the playoffs at the beginning of the season, won't have opt outs in bowl games. U less it is portal players.

The tracker I saw only knows players entering the portal or injury. I didn't see that it included players just opting out...not sure how you could track that accurately.

Just go ahead and make the play-off 16 teams. Give the major conference champs automatic berths but seed them and play them the way they do basketball. 1 vs 16, etc. The FCS is a good model. You could even use the conference championship games as play in games. Instead of Texas and Georgia in what was in some ways a meaningless game, it could be Ole Miss and Bama in a play in game. The regular season conference champion(s) would be done like it was in the past. Texas would have won this year. Some years there will be ties like in 1989, when Tennessee, Bama, and Auburn were co-champs. But having ASU and Boise get byes is a joke. JMHO

You could to 64 Teams and you would still have someone crying.........................
