We have a playoff, so at this point I give zero fricks about how many meaningless bowls there are. Hell, put every team in a bowl game. It no longer means what bowls were intended to mean anyway.

the tie in for this game are the MWC and CUSA.

I'd rather it be MWC vs AAC though.

Oh well, at least its not a Sun Belt/MAC matchup.

I don't care about how many bowl games there are, but I find it funny when fans try and talk up their schedule by saying how many bowl teams they played.

Is this the thread where I'm supposed to be mad about more football on television?

I don't think you can turn one down when it's tied to the conference. Besides, MWC should be a good matchup.

this would make sense if it weren't for the fact that not all bowls are considered equal

and this is why. let em play as many as there can be. Its fun for the fans and the players. Showcases teams and players you havent seen or heard of during the regular season.
