College Football Bowls #41, #42 and #43

But I'm pretty sure I saw a Pac12 team that did in some research recently.

Just checked, it was Nebraska I was thinking of, not a Pac12 team.

PS: The Pac12 is stupid for making that rule. I think teams would be better off as independents than be in that shitty run conference.

Peak season ends in October, but the full hurricane season actually ends November 30, when Big Ten teams are supposedly playing conference games in blizzards

Not to ruin your fun but no BigTen team plays a regular season game that late. If you're lucky though maybe the CCG game location will be changed from warm & cozy Lucas Oil Stadium to the coldest stadium in the conference.

Are we trying to get teams that go 4-8 bowl eligible now?

They'll keep going until they have enough bowls to please the "everyone gets a trophy" crowd.

Then they will start regulating how hard you can hit someone. Sensors for lb/sq in and if you hit too hard you are ejected from the game.

Yeah, that was a reference to an old recurring joke on CBS. Big Ten fans were always saying "SEC teams too scared to play us in a snowstorm!" when not even the Big Ten teams play in the snow that often

I believe 2-4 of the six win teams have been left out in previous years. Might as well get them all in even if they are in bottom tier conferences. Some of those below average teams battling it out make for good games. We all know where they stand in the national scheme of things so let them play and get some more money for there future.

Those boyz in the SEC would be frozen by halftime if they played a game in BigTen country while the weather's bad. Those warm weather teams don't like the cold.

EVERYBODY goes to a bowl!!! Wheeeeeeeeeee.....

Neither do the fans and that is why there aren't typically bowls up north. Chicago and New York are pretty much the only exceptions that can make attending a bowl there in December somewhat alluring.

Yeah the weather is a major detractor. The only bowl game I can think of that's in a cold weather city is the Little Ceasras Bowl in Detroit.

Pinstripe Bowl in NYC

Pinstripe Bowl in NYC

Thanks, I thought there was more than one.

Thanks, I thought there was more than one.

There is that monstrosity in Boise, too.

 

[NolePride]

Well, approving them and actually having them are two different things.

Austin, TX was approved for a bowl game a few years back.
They decided to delay hosting the game for a year and it never
got off the ground.

The ACC could be playing at Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field.

I don't know what I like better...being 200 yards from the field
or seeing the goal posts on one end located in the stands.

 

[Rolltide94]

Pac has never sent 5-7 any way so not really an issue.

It's like you guys are trying to invent new ways to be less competitive than you already are. I wonder if people talked about the Ivy League back in the 20's the way they do about the Pac-12 now.

 

[olympicoscar]

If it wasn't for the bowl mania tournament I join every year, I wouldn't watch but a half a dozen.

 

[olympicoscar]

Maybe we should just invite everybody to a bowl and have a playoff to determine the worst team in America?

I don't think that would be a bad game to watch.

It would be competitive. If you don't have your own team playing
then you are looking for a competitive game to watch.

I watch the Div II and Div III playoffs and those are always good
games. The players are a little slower and smaller but the competition and emotion is identical to any P5 game.
