Unless you are in the BCSCG then you are basically playing an end of the year exhibition game. An "honorable mention" "thanks for playing" trophy.
I agree whole-heartedly. CFB is the only sport that follows up an exciting regular season with meaningless exhibition games. Some occurring over a month after the last time the teams played. I love CFB, but I actually lose interest after the regular season. Sorry, just can't get excited to watch a 10-2 team play a 9-3 team with virtually nothing "on the line" other than some goofy trophy.
The players get a playstation and a nice trip to Disney Land. So what? I'm sure they would much rather get to got a playoff and battle it out like the guys they see playing on Sundays do. If not, then I'd question just how much of a competitor they are. An 8 to 16 team playoff would be great!

So what?? This might shock you but this is ABOUT THEM, not you. They train all year, pull on helmets and go crash into other people. The bowls were invented long before television and they are meant to be fun for the players and the fans.
No, I can't name the winner of the Holiday Bowl 10 years ago or the winner of the Continental Tire Bowl last year but I remember our bowl games. I remember the fan base being excited for the Independence Bowl after a decade of misery, I thoroughly enjoyed beating Miami 44-3 in the Peach Bowl, I loved beating Notre Dame in the Sugar and I even remember the La-Lafayette kicker running around and crying after winning the New Orleans Bowl last year. I assure you the ~30,000 Rajun Cajun fans that partied in the Quarter after that game were happy to be there. So what if the Super Dome was not full or the tv ratings were low. If you are not entertained then switch your tv over to a rerun of the 'Big Bang Theory'...
