Bowl Ratings were some of the highest ever seen, in some cases the highest.

People predicted that bowls would be degraded due to the playoffs. Actually it was the opposite that occurred.

I love college football, so I'll watch just about anything. That said I feel that there were some interesting matchups outside of the playoff that drew viewership this year. Alabama v. Michigan is a good example. I also feel like the interest generated by the playoff did not diminish the interest in the rest of the games, but actually drew more viewers in. A rising tide lifting all boats to turn a phrase.

Less games to bet on is not the right approach. Betting creates a lot of interest. How about extra payouts to each team‘s players, more to the winning team obviously. Cap the number of players on each team who can be paid. The bigger the bowl, the bigger the payouts. Why the Feck not at this point.

I'm pretty much done with any FB but UConn football. But I love going to bowl games. I just had a blast in Boston. Even better, my partner loves going to them as well. Fans of bowl teams know what the game is all about, they don't worry about "importance". Especially in this case, it was a reward for a good season.

2M people watched our game on a Saturday morning. That ought to tell anyone why we still have these games.

Oh, that's why? BTW, what is your point?

I want to disagree with this, but I don't.

This is dumb.

Impressing some ignorant hayseed on our message board is not what we’re here for.

Just go away.

Yep.

The contents of that dope’s head are so uninteresting that I think we can survive his absence - an absence that should start as soon as humanly possible.

And he thinks he's landing.
