    Such a world could exist.

    And in fact, does.

    Incoming hot take and maybe shit is too complicated with the modern landscape of college football, but what if power programs who weren't bowl eligible set up a game with each other just to have another game. I know December weather also makes this less exciting. For example, Washington plays Texas in Austin or a smaller indoor venue? Or play Nebraska or USC. Also, if you want to know how bad things are. Texas, Nebraska, USC, and Washington are the only programs anyone gives a shit about who weren't bowl eligible this year.

    If they got rid of 90 percent of the bowl games nobody would care. Especially the kids. Many would prefer to be home over winter break than be in Shreveport, Boise or a number of other odd places to play a football game.

    What kind of world are we living in where Bob Gregory is promoted from ILB coach to defensive coordinator to interim head coach less than two years after overseeing the worst Husky linebacker play of all-time?

    The kind of world where a leopard coat wearing AD is the leader of UW athletics.
    Blob of lard covered in leopard print. Shes Carol Baskin without the killer instinct.

    Fine. I think finding a way to go back to 2-3 non-conference games pitting equal programs against each other is actually the better way to go but I know logistically that just won't ever happen unless we go to the eventually super conference league.

    well, bowl games are supposed to be a reward for a good season.

    Driving 2010 Camry’s to work and drinking Maxwell House from their Mr Coffee out of a stained coffee mug or a styrofoam cup. That’s for sure. Also, the probably wear windbreakers and Bike brand stretchy shorts with their clip boards tucked into the front. And a baseball cap that sits way up on their heads

    do we live in when the likes of Old Dominion and UT San Antonio are playing in bowl games and the Huskies are not?

    I want to:

    1. Get rid of all the bowls except the first tier (Orange, Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and I would add back in the Cotton) and one level of secondary bowls (Holiday, Citrus, Sun, Alamo, Gator, Peach or whatever - take your pick but limit the to 5 or 6 and that's it).

    2. I would not allow bowls to be named by stupid people. Your choices are fruit, flowers, fierce animals and a few that can be grandfathered in like the Sun or Holiday. After that, no mas dumb sounding bowls like the Pin Stripe. WTF thought of that? Wrong sport dipshit.

    3. Firebomb Tuscaloosa (not genocide; just football ops)

    3. Make the playoffs illegal; I like arguing

    4. Make any team who fails to schedule and play at least one P5 non-con ineligible for the first tier.

    5. Realign the conferences to eliminate goofy geographical alliances. I'd kick Nebraska out of the Big 10, Syracuse and Boston College out of the ACC and rebuild the SWC and make the teams who are supposed to be there be there.

    6. Make Notre Dame join a conference for all sports or be an independent for all sports. No cherrypicking.

    I know, a lot of stupid shit, but cfb is run by stupid so what's a little more stupid if it makes me happy.
    So you want it to be 1970 again. And firebomb Tuscaloosa.

    I stopped reading after #2. Agree with 1 and 2. 3 and 4 should be end the transfer portal and kill NIL. Stop there and we are back to an interesting and fun sport. #5 is good too.

    I was going to do a Bowl Pick Em but it was a busy week. Also, I looked at the lineup and most of it is trash until Xmas day. Even then, it's like 6-6 BC against 7-5 South Carolina in some bowl game in Hartford Connecticut where there will be 15 inches of snow or something. People need to stop watching these games, buying tickets, and betting on them. They should let two teams from each low level conference get in max. I'm old enough to remember the Grape Bowl in Fresno or whatever. That's all the little guys got.

    Yes, I agree ... kill the transfer portal and the NIL. The transfer portal threatens the game IMO. Too much optionality for a 19 year old kid who's had his ass kissed incessantly since he was 13 and still thinking with his brain stem is not a recipe for success. For anyone.

    So since you stopped reading after #2, I take it you're saying that @creepycoug is such a good poster that you're just going to assume without even looking that his #5 is nails?
