Bowl games do matter

psugrad81 · 2025-01-05T00:35:02Z

First of all, let it be known that I abhor all of the players sitting out bowl games. However, even in the old days most coaches considered one the biggest advantages of making a bowl game was the extra weeks of practice the NCAA allowed. Mostly they were good for the younger players working out for the next year. I believe we have to stop thinking of the bowl games as the end of this year and start thinking of them as the beginning of next year. This excludes the CFP games. For those, I have to agree with Southern that I would like to get rid of the byes. Go to 16 teams with 8 home games at the top 8 rated team's stadiums. With the fact that all the bye teams lost, I don't see many coaches arguing against that. I would also suggest ignoring the conference champion stuff when ranking the top 16. If you win your conference, congratulations. If you are not in the top 16, take your trophy and go rest on your laurels.

And I think a lot of change has been very, very bad. I guess good & bad is in the eye of the beholder, lol.

I see some things as bad... but curious as to what you feel is "very, very, bad"?

Yes, it would be nice to have that ironed out. Which I think it can be, as it seems like a timing issue.
