[QUOTE="billga99, post: 767839, member: 1618"] Obviously there are more Div 1A/FBS teams but the number of bowls has exploded primarily to fill the schedule for ESPN. 1960: Bowls 8, Div 1A teams 111 (<15%) 1970: Bowls 11, Div 1A teams 122 (18%) 1990: Bowls 19, FBS teams 107 (35%) 2010: Bowls 35, FBS teams 120 (58%) 2019: Bowls 40, FBS teams 130 (62%) Some of the early years, a lot of the teams in Division 1A would now be FCS teams. But still assume those numbers are inflated significantly the number of teams that "Qualify" for bowls is so much higher today. If you think about the bowls under the Dodd years, it was truly a privilege to go to a bowl game (by the way, I am not that old). Now it is a semi-embarrassment if you don't go bowling. I think having enough bowls for half of the teams to go is more than enough. [/QUOTE]
