The only way I would have any interest in playing pre-season bowls would be matchups with teams that have never faced each other. Maybe get us a game with Michigan, UCLA, Washington, Oregon, Arkansas, Texas, Navy, Michigan State or Oklahoma St. That’s the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

So basically this is an expansion of the kickoff classic neutral site games to be played on “week zero”? I don’t completely dislike it, but December would have to become college playoff month with separate playoffs for FCS, P5, and G5.

I think the one person hit it right on the nail - get people in the room and spitball it is right. I think you need some postseason rewards for teams who finish well...otherwise what are you playing for? But I think you need to fix the scholarship numbers (haven't increased any since schedules moved from 10 to 11 to now 14-15 games). Need bump to 100. And travel rosters from 72 to 85 like during Covid. Keeps guys healthier for these longer seasons - more quality depth on hand.

That’s interesting but I don’t think it would work. I think the best move for everyone in college football, not just the blue chip programs would be to extend the regular season to 14 games.
Then have a 3 or 4 team conference playoff that ultimately leads to a 6 or 8 team CFP.
But bowl season is dead

That would equate to all SEC teams in a bowl game. That includes Vandy, USuC, and Missouri.

I think Vandy opens with Elon this season...

I'd certainly rather watch Vandy play a team like Duke, Northwestern, Rutgers, Kansas, or Cal than Elon.

Not good for players or students
Aug 4, 2022, 4:21 PM

The fun of bowl games for players involves cool activities in a fun place to travel to, during a time when school is not in session. It's a reward for the season. If you put the bowls on Labor Day weekend the players are either missing a lot of school days or just having a regular away game. Classes have started for all but the quarter schools. Are the students going to want/be able to travel to some of these bowls when school has just started? Just one more way of moving college football from a college experience to a pro experience.
