Title: Maybe an unpopular opinion...
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 31, 2019, 01:48:24 EST
Bowls should completely drop conference tie-ins, and be free to work out a deal with whichever team they want. Outside of the playoff, these matchups are absolute shizzle, and have been for several years now. Nobody wants to see the likes of Virginia, Baylor, and Memphis playing in a major bowl game. NYD used to be the greatest day on the CFB calendar, with epic matchups overlapping on all networks all day long. Now it's down to 4 lackluster games that I could really care less whether I see or not.

At the very least, they should drop the requirement to include a non-P5 team (unless there's one that is truly worthy, such as a couple Boise teams from yesteryear). They should also drop the mandate that a 2nd or 3rd best team from a given conference be assigned to a major bowl in the event that said conference's champ is in the playoff. Some leagues only have one worthy team (looking at you, ACC- stop trying to make Virginia happen). :frown:

(BTW, I wrote that in part because I'm hoping I can reverse-mojo UVA into an upset over the crocs tonight.) :dance:

"Couldn't" care less.

And I agree.  :biggrin:

Agree 100%....After the 4 playoff teams are picked the bowls should pick the best match ups. Do away with the conference tie ins.

I’m gonna try to power through the new seasons of Lost in Space and The Witcher before I go back to work next Monday. And I’ll be in J’Ville for two of those days, so I might not make it. :toothless:

Yes. It dragged a bit in the middle, but the last two episodes were great.

Conferences will never go for that though, they want the money.
