I think the whole concept of the bowl games is out of hand. It all boils down to the almighty $$,, from everything from the revenue stream to players opting out so as not to risk their potential big $ ticket to the NFL. I honestly think it’ll start to die out in the future.

I have to wonder why there is an opt out of playing option. I get the "I don't want to take a chance of getting hurt Cause I'm going pro" but don't you think there should be some obligation to the school ? I mean scholarships, room and board, maybe even education?

Then we have 2024 where they're going to mimick the NFL. Maybe it will eliminate the opting out? 12 teams in the championship bracket. Also, the beginning of conference realignment. I guess we'll see how it plays out. I'm not too thrilled about the changes....

Selfishly, I hope they get it figured-out, watching Bowl games is a Family tradition (enjoying a few coldies and sharing stories while others make a lot of really good food) - it sure sucks when the games make you want to paint a closet...

You will still have people upset that their team didn't make it!

Couple things from last night's game, Kirk put your shirt on, do viking fans feel foolish for doing the chant you stole from a soccer team after losing when they did the stupid skol chant?

Two very good and entertaining football games were played yesterday (3 if you want to count the Wisconsin loss, but we are talking CFP games here)! Alabama gave Michigan a run for their money and the Washington v Texas game was definitely full of big plays and excitement. Those 4 teams belonged in the playoff structure. Now the top 2, the undefeated teams, will square off. Only 1 Big Ten team (yes, I am already claiming Washington for the Big Ten) will end the season undefeated. Monday's game should be an interesting one ... and I have a meeting Monday night and company is coming .... grrr ... I want to watch the game! LOL!
