I thought that expanding to a playoff that featured the top best teams AND having bowls was possible.
What I didn't realize is that the reason I viewed the bowl games and the reasons I THOUGHT these teams played in bowls was apparently very off.
I thought the schools played these bowls for the money sure, but also for the trophy, accomplishment, post season, more tape, to win something with your brothers, to celebrate a good season.
That seems to hold true in the MAC, CUSA, PAC12, MW, Fun Belt, American, even BIG12 and ACC.
What I didn't realize is that actually football is ONLY about the money and sitting out / skipping bowls entirely is how the SEC and BIG10 would handle things.
Such a pathetic display of sportsmanship. Play the damn games. Play the games with your brothers. Finish the season strong.
The NFL only one team can go out with a win in the post season. In College Football that wasn't the case. Every team could have a chance to exit the season with a trophy and a win. It was better that way.
@Brett_McMurphy@On3 Do not do that. Im sure we can live in a perfect world where both the playoff and bowls can exist. I watch most of the bowls. Had some friends that played CFB and they have fond memories from the bowl experiences, even "minor" bowl gms.
What happened at the end of the Western Michigan vs Michigan game is a disgrace to football. @bigten we all know you are lying. Im never watching your unethical conference football again. @espn you have ruined College Football. Congrats Western Michigan on your win!
