Then what could you be so surprised about, the bowls aren't about playoffs, or determining a NC with the exception of one game. They are a business, each bowl is a little company, the schools can choose to go or not go. And overall if the bowls can jiggle around the invites so fans don't have to travel so far, what's so bad about that? It seems to me to be a net positive as games become more accessable for more fans ... isnt' that obvious after 15 minutes, never mind 30 years?

You broke out your patented 'but what about the children' arguement ... again. I'll I'm saying is that the players know exactly what they get into when they select a school. There are plus's and minus's with all schools the proximity to a bowl game is much different at texas and toledo so it's not as though there is a big mean system that screws the kids.

Cant wait until Congress gets into this and finally tosses the whole kit and kaboodle.

You saw the new TV deal right? I need to run more 'jokes' like this one. Like any other sport it's a business, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that's all sports are. This completely broken league is growing much faster than any other major college sport and interest has never been higher. I don't love the BCS, but I understand it. It's ok, it for the most part keeps the bowl systems which is the best TV of the year. Playoffs kill what I love. I know you don't like to look at it, but the regular season will be less intense, in fact, in your playoff what would happen on rivalry weekend: Teams like florida wouldn't even have played their starters. They would have been saved for games that are important. Alabama, and Oklahoma would have done the same thing. Fun, that would have turned a few big games last night into JUCO ball. That and half the bowls would shut down and the other half would have a fraction of the life they do now.
And as if congress doesn't have bigger things to worry about.
Look you hate college football, I get it, go watch a million unimportant college basketball games. Since 3 months of mediocure play that culminates in a handful of important games in March is all you'd need, why would you even watch football?
