The non national championship BCS bowl games were so much more fun then the NY6.

It’s crazy how quickly the sport has shifted since the mid 2000s. Those BCS bowls during that time were awesome. Rarely any opt outs and the teams were still trying their hardest to win.

I understand for outside fans that opt outs are lame to watch, but I like the young guys getting a chance to go make plays.
i.e. Harrison and Smith-Njigba in the Rose Bowl 2 years ago

Because during the BCS it was typical that several NC contenders were left out
With this playoff it’s more likely that NY6 bowls just have good/not elite teams
Primadonna opt outs and transfer portal also doesn’t help obviously

man, from 98 >conference realignment v1 >rematch of the game of the century, college football was so much fricking fun
granted i was 14-27 during that time, so it's nostalgia aided as well.

BCS got it right except for when the top 3 teams all had the same record. All the committee had to do was keep the BCS in place and make decisions in this scenario. The fact that they explicitly went with a subjective (fake) decision making process proves the system is intentionally corrupt.

College football was more fun 20 years ago.

About 2006 was the peak, with a gradual decline. The last 2 years it’s fell off a cliff.

The plus one model was the way forward.

Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette started this trend of sitting out bowl games. They ruined the college football postseason like Kevin Garnett ruined college basketball.

Shoot, goes back way before the BCS. These youngins don’t know how good their dads had it.
The answer all along was a national championship game after the traditional bowls.

Hell yeah they were! As a young fan, watching Alabama make a BCS bowl in 1999 was one of the most exciting moments of my pre-adolescent life. I didn’t care that we had no shot at a national title. We were SEC champs and were going to play a big time opponent (Michigan) in the Orange Bowl.

I agree with this. But I still overall prefer the playoffs to having no playoffs at all.

I still love the bowl games,just a pain in the arse that i cant stay home and watch all the games with all these fricking responsibilities.

I always thought it was funny that fans said that bowl games didn’t mean anything for years, then started to get upset with players when they opted out.
What’s the point if they don’t mean anything?

It was better before they added the 5th BCS game. After that, the orange bowl always ended up having a poo matchup

Agreed, they were a lot of fun then we would watch the NY6 bowls.

It’s amazing how the relentless pursuit of more money has completely ruined CFB
Same thing for the NFL. They’re so scared of litigation that the entire league looks way different than it did 10-15 years ago

Those BCS bowls were awesome and New Years Day always felt like the best day of college football. I really miss watching some of those games and the energy that was there.
All of it down the drain.
