The bowls are almost all just routine non-conference games spread out over the holidays. The whole setup needs to go and be replaced with real playoffs. Condoleeza Rice and Coach Wilingham picking the final four is not playoffs either. The small fry need at least a chance to go the distance.
the sponsors are the worst. Most of them don't line up at all with the bowls. Such as Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, National university (WTF? is a national university) Holliday Bowl, Royal Purple las vegas bowl, R+L carriers New Orleans Bowl. I can't believe none of u have mentioned the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowel
The BCS bowls need to DIAFF the most. Hear me out before you call me a quook. I'm not making this argument based on being pissed about Oregon getting left out. Case in point. The Sugar Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Alabama. Nationally, does this shit show hold any interest whatsoever outside of Alabama and Oklahoma? No. Have people been pining to see this matchup for years? Hell no. Oregon did not deserve to be in a BCS bowl this year. However the powers that be could have arranged this matchup, knowing the level of national interest would be very high. People have been wanting to see this game forever. But no, they choose business interests over interesting matchups. Same for the shit show Orange Bowl. Who the fuck wants to see Clemson? Fucking nobody. I won't even mention the Fiesta Bowl this year. The BCS bowls need to DIAFI- die in a fucking inferno. Replace them with an 8 team playoff and ditch this silly idea of a committee. Use the BCS formula, which works pretty damn well in my opinion, to determine the top 8 seeds.
Who cares how many bowls there are? It's not as if you have to watch them. If the game interests yiu watch, if not, don't. What's the fucking big deal? It doesn't hurt me if some team I don't care about plays in a bowl game I don't care about.
Everyone bitches about there being too many bowls (hey, I do too) but when it's the Tuesday night before Christmas and the only thing on tv is Heat-Knicks on TNT.....you will all be watching Louisiana Lafayette in the Bourbon Bowl.

I think this is generally correct - but as the quality of the bowels has declined over the past few years, I watch fewer of them because the matchups suck. If you have an 8-win minimum for the bowels, all of the teams will be at least halfway decent. 10-2 Oregon versus 8-4 Texas is #dreckfest. 10-2 Oregon versus 10-2 Clemson or 10-2 Oklahoma or 10-2 Okie Lite is entertaining.

I want the Tangerine Bowl (1947–1982) and/or Citrus Bowl (1983–2002) back. Rename it the Lemon Bowl and party appropriately

Seems pretty accurate.
