[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 916887, member: 4572"] Yeah, bowls are weird now. A lot of team who go bowling only have 5 wins against FBS opponents, since you can count one FCS win. That means they had a losing record against their own level of competition, but get rewarded with a postseason game. Plus, a lot of teams’ best players won’t even play in the bowl game. They sit out and either get ready to enter the transfer portal or for the draft. The bowl system definitely needs to be re-worked Before last year the NFL had 12 teams make the playoffs in a 32 team league, that’s 37.5%. Now 14 teams make it, so 43.75%. In college football, 62.6% of teams make the postseason. It’s just a weird system all the way around, but the TV execs and corporate execs keep pushing them. There’s nothing else equivalent to a bowl game in any other sport. It would be like the worst MLB teams playing exhibition games against each other during the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
