I hate bowl games now

Scrap the whole system. Go with 8 divisions of 10 and have a 16 team playoff (or some variation of this). Promotion and relegation. No more bowls at all.

Or just go back to the way things used to be and scrap the playoff completely.

It's embarrassing that it's gotten this far.

    I would jizz for promotion and relegation, bring some fear back into these soft fucks.

    Bowl games got really stupid about ten years ago when a lot of .500 teams and midmajor trash qualified. It was oversaturated, but still reasonable and most were watchable until then. I don't really get how the playoff changed things.

    We don't like it because we think you need to buy into the top division of play. Investors/boosters don't like having their investments to carry the risk of relegation.

    The playoff made it so even the top bowl games are even more irrelevant. No fucking point. You're playing for 5th place now.

    Take your idea of relegation J over to the Euro Trash Soccer Bored ...

    Shouldn't you be watching the MLS Final or whatever the fuck they call it? Or are you too butthurt at the thought that Portland is going to win a MLS title before the Sounders?

    True. The Sugar Bowl is now like the Peach Bowl, and nobody cares about Houston and whatever bowl they made. Maybe they should go back to the old bowl tie-ins, then select the two best teams.

    The shit tier bowls still bother me way more than any of that though. I can't stand bowls with 7-5 MAC and Conference USSR teams. Get the fuck out of here with that garbage.

    upvoted for "Conference USSR." The judges would have also accepted "Conference CCCP."

    I'd prefer it if there was no more college football this winter so we can fire up the Rush Hour trilogy again, instead

    I'm actually ecstatic that they're going to win. Don't care for MLS or American soccer. Fuck the Sounders.
