We seriously need to start having a conversation about lowering the number of bowl games. They should be a reward for a good season, not a participation trophy. Cue the "muh more football is good football" crowd.

This. Make the requirements 8 wins

No we don’t
It’s exhibition football that’s usually fun. It gives players extra practice to develop for the next season. Let every team go to a bowl game, I don’t care.

Why do you want less football on TV?

I agree. Lower the bowls for Power 5 teams. Unfair advantage, they should need 8 wins for bowl eligibility

Let's not go back to the bad old days when a 6-5 Mississippi State didn't get invited to the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Calm down gramps.
Let the kids have an extra game, get all the cool shite that comes with it, etc...
With the playoff and bowl format, a lot of the smaller schools will/can never compete to be in the bigger games.

Yeah, more football is a good thing. If you don't like it, don't watch.
I've never understood people like this who bemoan the number of bowl games.
It literally has zero effect on you as you can simply just not watch it.

More football is good and bowls have NEVER EVER been about rewarding the best teams which has been proven here repeatedly so I'm not sure why you guys have to keep trotting out that BS line thought.

Yeah. In 2007 South Carolina and Bama were both 6-6. Bama got the SEC bowl and we didn’t go. After that I think the SEC tried to make sure it had more affiliations.
Crazy that 6 wins is no longer “eligible” it’s a guarantee.

Easy to say as an Alabama fan.

Who’s the arbiter of what determines a “good season?” You? frick you. 6 wins is a great season for some teams with their resources.

Why? There is something to be said for showing up in anything in life, but do you know how brutal being a college football player can be? Waking up at 5 to lift weights. It’s a full-time, hard labor job that requires way more than the “20 hours” they’re allowed. Those “optional” hours aren’t very optional. And they’ve got to find time somewhere to go to class and study. And there’s really only about 10 teams out of 130 that have a realistic chance at winning the National Championship. Yet the dudes on the other 120 teams still show up and bust their asses.
Granted, there are a lot of perks that come with being a college football player. It’s certainly not a miserable existence. But it is hard, and there’s something noble about showing up. I have absolutely no problem rewarding the guys who showed up, put the work in, and didn’t quit having a final few days together enjoying the perks of whatever bowl they go to. That team will literally never play together again, probably won’t ever all be together again.

That crowd is right. Nobody is making you watch. I don’t watch most of them myself. Im in the damn strong “you’re a spoiled fricking, cock-sucking a-hole crowd,” though. Have a great day!

I mean, more football is good.
It’s not like each bowl is created equal. The two teams playing in this made up game know what’s up.

Why? Why do we need to seriously have this convo? Bowls game generate revenue. It make people travel that normally wouldnt travel. Overall its good.
Just like the people that claim "there are too many Marvel movies".....Simple solution....Just dont watch.
