Notre Dame vs LSU. That will be a good game.

I’m just a casual fan. But, have never heard of most of those bowl games.

So many bowls...i got some better (i think) ideas...

How about the two worst teams (toilet bowl?)
Best defense vs best offence (max contrast bowl)
Best mascot vs worst mascot. (icon bowl)
Team with highest avg gpa vs team with lowest gpa (brain/nobrain) bowl
Most expensive program vs least expensive program (money bowl)
Im sure there are many more categories..

I know this is tongue in cheek, but, it could be a great game, to see the #1 offense vs. the #1 defense.

Here’s a big problem now with bowl games. You’re starting to see a lot of players who are about to be drafted by NFL teams sitting the games out, and frankly who could blame them?

I have an idea....Why not essentially have an NIT for College Football? Instead of all of the garbage bowl games, take the 32 teams and put them in a tournament to determine the “Best of the Rest”?

I counted nearly 50 bowl games a couple of years ago. There are so many that they have to find teams with 6-6 records to play in them. There are so many they have lost their pizzazz.

There used to be 4. Then 5. Now, nearly 50.

Agree...call it the snowflake bowl cause one of the teams is so offensive...
Best passing qb vs 2nd best passing qb (of course...el paso bowl)

Dumb question. But do any teams NOT make a bowl?

Not a bad idea....but just think...lots of players would not to risk an injury if they have a chance to be in no felons league...but teams who win football nit...play 5 more games...thats about 17 or 18 games a year...more than the pros..they would be almost all in casts by 5th game..

Good point. All I know is that what passes today for Bowl Games is a mockery of the Bowl Games of the past.
