may get into bowl games.

Its time to invite every team to a bowl game. What ever happened to rewarding schools for having a successful season? If you have 7 or less wins you do not belong in a bowl game.

It's time to start up a playoff, and let the rest of the schools settle the season long debate over which are the best conferences in the bowls. Since d@mn near everybody is going to a bowl, we might as well do something constructive about it...

Everyone gets a trophy!!!!

The choices seem to be reduce the bowls or let loosing teams go a bowl game. I say reduce the bowl numbers.

For this year though, that's a tough choice. The bowls already exist, do you let one go unplayed? I'm not sure what the right answer to that is. I do think one or two fewer bowl arrangements should have been approved though (or else it should have been set-up in advance that one bowl is only played if needed).

As for a bigger playoff system, thanks, but no thanks. I'll continue to be one of the 3 or 4 people in the country who prefers the bowl system.

Either reduce 'em, or start a playoff, and let everybody who's not in the playoff battle for conference supremacy. Everybody plays in the post season, and the bowls remain a valuable addition to college football. It's a win-win situation. Since we've already taken bowls to ridiculous extremes, we might as well go all out, and make a sh!tload of cash on a playoff while we're at it...

don't think it's nesacesry to invite schools with losing records.
in the right situation FBS schools could be invited

Yup a few friends and I were having this conversation the other night. We need to cut back the # of bowls to 20, that way arguably the Top 40 teams get bowl bids. And no more of this locking in the 7th, 8th, 9th pick of your conference either. (or 6th pick in a league smaller than 12 for that matter either)

I hate bowl locks. It prevents the best match ups to truly attempt to determine who is the best (team, conference, etc)...

The current bowl system stinks. You only have to look at the fact that the Big East has no chance to play in a bowl January 1 other then a BCS game. The managed conference tie ins add nothing IMO. It all seems to trickle down from the messed up BCS bowl system itself.

I would be fine with the way bowls USED to be but now since they are messed up bring on the playoff.

They should grab 1aa schools not in the play off but that have winning records. No way any 5-7 team from any conf. under any circumstances should be a bowl team.

Looks like the bowl bubble may burst. Thanks Barrack.
