When I was a kid...or even into my teens, there were three or four bowl games. December 31 and January 1 - that's when you got the bowls. The Sugar, the Cotton, the Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl, and you saw two elite college teams face off. Teams that were undefeated or at most had lost 1 or 2 games.
Nowadays - probably for a decade or so, bowl games have been totally cheapened. There are probably 20 of them now, and mnay of them feature teams that have .500 records! How can a team with a .500 record deserve to go to a Bowl, which is supposed to showcase football excellence???
All these new, upstart "bowls" should be renamed to "Games for Teams that don't deserve to play anymore this season, but have a fanbase that will pay to see one last game."
