So Many Bowl Games...

Thirty-four bowl games come on that’s a lot of football. Even the biggest of football fans don’t watch them all. Over this break I have watched many bowl games that I wouldn’t normally watch because of all the down time I have. I don’t know if you have watched any of them yet, but for all of the bowls that have already been played the stadiums are about half way full. This is because no one wants to watch the Independence Bowl and the Roadys Humanitarian Bowl. This is because these games don’t mean anything to the fans, and to the nation. On the other hand these games are what make college football so great today. If there weren't 34 bowl games that means 68 teams play and if they cut that number of bowls then the number of teams has to go to. This wouldn’t affect the well-known schools but for schools like SMU, Bowling Green, Idaho, Troy, and Central Florida wouldn’t make it to these games. For those teams the bad bowl games are like national championships for them, winning the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl is just as big as Texas winning the National Championship. Those teams just have their goals set lower then going undefeated. So college football needs all of the bowl games and many people want to lessen the number of bowls, but I say we add another 5 bowl games to give 10 more teams that aren’t as good as a Florida, Texas, Ohio State a chance. Teams like Notre Dame could possibly make a bowl game.
