As far as what to show during late December,


or crazy idea here, but maybe keep the bowls as they are.

2 games go down to the wire (one in OT).

much rather watch that than trying to find something on some streaming service because there absolutely nothing else on.

As long as teams have a large number of opt outs, the bowl games are crappy. The opt outs make the games substandard.

The POST season non playoff bowl games don’t mean as much as they used too. Besides the players are getting paid and they opt out on top of that. I wish I was wrong on this take, but that whole “it’s a reward for the players” sentiment probably died 5 to 10 years ago!

then the game has to count toward the season and making the playoffs.
so it's not a "bowl" we're just making the regular season 1 game longer


exactly.
get over the "bowl" language. its an expanded kickoff classic. i covered that in my OP.

so it has nothing to do with last year's team?
not a "bowl" game, literally just a regular season game?



now you're getting it

Nothing stopping you from doing this. You can play a kickoff classic and a P4 game in the same year. Bama played FSU and Wisky this year.

Thats your loss. Its one of the great venues in sport.

So you don't think an extra round of games in August would have that?
