Again, these are having to be created by the Networks and Group of 5 programs as the other "opportunities" have been taken away by the 6-6 vs. 6-6 Big10 vs. Big12 matchups! meanwhile, much more deserving Group of 5 teams get left out.
Think about it. A SEC team can actually go 2-6 in SEC play if they win their 4 OOC games (usually only one MAX BigBoy match-up anlong with three body g=bag gamkes (including a FCS game) and be Bowl eligible and picked pretty much for sure over ANY group of 5 team.Posted On: May 7th 2015, 7:36 PM #345067
Heres an idea requiring schools in conferences that get automatic BCS bids to beat 6 FBS teams to be bowl eligible. That way lower tier FBS schools scheduling FCS opponents dont have to compete with SEC teams scheduling cupcake games at 500k each.

On the upside if they keep adding bowl games we may eventually get to go regardless of our season record! Bowl Games That No One Cares About here we come!

As I said in an above post, adding more bowl games might result in not enough teams qualifying with a 6-6 in some years. Some years we might see teams with a 5-7 record in some of the lower tier bowls.Posted On: Oct 1st 2015, 1:01 PM #349912
We've already seen this actually. But again, who cares? Let these suffering fan bases (which include us) and the student athletes have fun!
