[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 858297, member: 1640"] Sad but true. I think one of the ways you can tell the bowl games are not as important anymore is how many long commercial breaks there are now. I attended the first five Peach bowls, and compared to now, it was practically non-stop football with only official timeouts for injuries or as called by teams. To be fair, I can’t prove that, but I don’t remember waiting forever to resume play like we do now. It’s like ESPN wants to milk this cash cow for all it’s worth before it runs dry. The other thing that made bowls more important was that a lot more teams had a shot at a national championship. All you had to do was win your bowl big, pray for other teams to falter and cross your fingers when the final vote came out. Finishing in the top 10 was a huge recruiting advantage but not so much with today’s kids. If you are not finishing number one they just want to know what the perks are for joining your team.
