December 31, 201114 yr I have said all along and still say that a six win team does not deserve to go to a bowl game. I am starting this thread before the Ohio State/Fla. game. Becuse OSU is a favorite or mine as well as the SEC, and it being the best conference in college football does not change my mind. There imo are too many bowl games, it is all about the money. I don't believe that mediocrity should be rewarded with a bowl game. A non winning season/team deserves it. I would be just fine without all of these meaningless "losing season" bowls. btw-- two 6 win teams in a bowl as long standing as the Gator Bowl is wrong,jmo. What say you?
December 31, 201114 yr I say its OK, and I love the game, it beats watching "Everybody Loves Raymond", but as its gets closer to the New Years the games get better, we just have to get thru the slop to get to the better games.
December 31, 201114 yr I would like to see a rule that says 6 wins AND a winning record are required. Let some of the smaller schools get in on the bowl $$$$.
December 31, 201114 yr I would like to see a rule that says 6 wins AND a winning record are required. Let some of the smaller schools get in on the bowl $$$$. If you're going to say that it might as well be 7 wins. Everyone plays 12 games.
December 31, 201114 yr Every year about a dozen of the guys pick all the games by the point spread. Winner takes all. Makes each game much more interestiing.
December 31, 201114 yr If you're going to say that it might as well be 7 wins. Everyone plays 12 games. True. Go with 7 wins. Would there be enough teams with 7 wins to fill the bowls? Are there any 7 win teams not playing in a bowl? If not, then I guess scrap that idea.
December 31, 201114 yr True. Go with 7 wins. Would there be enough teams with 7 wins to fill the bowls? Are there any 7 win teams not playing in a bowl? If not, then I guess scrap that idea. I know WKU has 7 and is watching from home...
December 31, 201114 yr I know WKU has 7 and is watching from home... Maybe the rule is all teams with 7+ wins must be in a bowl game and then you fill in with the 6 win teams if there is still room.
December 31, 201114 yr I know WKU has 7 and is watching from home...Yep, UCLA is playing in a Bowl, thats just plain not fair. Will not watch a play of that game.
December 31, 201114 yr Maybe the rule is all teams with 7+ wins must be in a bowl game and then you fill in with the 6 win teams if there is still room. I can definitely roll with that rule. Just no way a team with a winning record should be passed over by a 6-6 team. Heck, after the 7 win teams fill up bowls, just cancel the ones that still have spots open. I'm fine with that too.
December 31, 201114 yr Yep, UCLA is playing in a Bowl, thats just plain not fair. Will not watch a play of that game. Me neither Larry. That is just disgusting. And they are playing a team who has lost 6 straight. Could they have put 2 more undeserving teams in this game? I think not.
December 31, 201114 yr ^ The "We Don't Deserve It" Bowl. 7 wins (winning record) should be the yardstick.
January 1, 201214 yr Although a playoff would be preferable. Playoff? That's crazy talk! Why decide it on the field?? That wouldn't work! Just look at all the other college sports on every level!
