It's the playoffs fault


Dec 20, 2016, 8:19 AM

That guys will start to sit out sense no other bowl games really matter now!

Wrong. Playoff doubled the number of meaningful bowl games.


Dec 20, 2016, 8:21 AM

Tripled if you count the title game separately.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There are too many bowls period.

It used to mean something to go to a bowl game. Not any more. I can't say I blame these guys sitting out. Why risk injury for the glory of the Porta-Potty Bowl or the Bed Bath & Beyond Bowl, or whatever. Over half of all D1 teams get to go to a bowl game. That's ridiculous.

Bowl games never mattered. Expand the playoff pool to 16

teams and increase the future income protections for the top players or this will happen more and more.

Bowl games do matter. Helps build momentum towards next season.

Perhaps now we can do away with most

Bowl games. They are no longer linked to achievement. They usually cost schools money. If it was not for extra practices, most schools would decline. I don't see how not letting the worst teams practice in December is a fair practice.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They didn't matter before. At least three games matter


Dec 20, 2016, 9:59 AM

now as opposed to just one.

I think there were roughly 8 to 10 bowl games that I used to pay attention to, and thought "mattered", before the playoffs. Now it's down to the CFP, Rose, Orange, and/or whichever bowl Ohio State is in. That's it.

Overall I think the 4-team playoff has been a great thing, but it undoubtedly comes with the side effect of rendering most other bowl games uninteresting

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's a huge factor. No bowls matter aside from the playoff****
