I read the list of bowl games without their locations, and, honestly, with the new sponsors I have no clue where half of them are.

Bring back the Astro Bluebonnet bowl!

Heck, bring back the Astrodome....

I'm not going to lie, I've always thought bowl games were kind of silly. There are so many of them that teams with REALLY mediocre records end up playing in them. Playoffs are exciting as hell and gives underdogs a chance to really prove what they can do.

:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

I think it's laughable that FBS/D1A won't play a more inclusive playoff system. Four teams? They get four weeks between their last regular season game and the first playoff game, typically played in a fair weather city in the southern half of the country. This year the winners get nine days to prepare for the final game. We get arguments about how preparing for a multi-round playoff is unfair to these student athletes and that coaches and administrators are opposed to a more extensive playoff. Ha! If all the other divisions, and the NAIA teams, can play more games when fewer of the players will ever have a realistic chance of playing professionally, then the players in the FBS division can take a little time off from their bio-science labs and debate team practices.....but I digress.

The TV money would be astronomical if they expanded to 8 or 16 teams. Knowing the NCAA, it’s only a matter of time given that payday.
