Are we having the bowl contest this year?

[daneblazer]

Otherwise im using my points on cocaine and hookers

[LT Profits]

As of now, Yes but still not guaranteed. We will not confirm until we see actual matchups announced or at least follow-up announcement from NCAA that Bowls will happen,

Good deal, thank you.

Will there be *any* fans in the stands for these games?

[Getch13]

[seaborneq]

Will there be *any* fans in the stands for these games?

It better not be. 53 man minimum will be hard to fill for most games. Opting out of an empty bowl bid is safer. Penn state will even turn down a bowl invitation

[pavyracer]

Bowl games should be played in the same stadium if no fans. No need to risk more players lives by sending them all over the country.

Yes, aware of the schedule but amount of PPD/CANCELLED games started spiking soon after Bowls were announced and we may now not get all 40 played. Emphasis on "may", nothing is definite.

[thetrinity]

Good question.
Won’t be surprised if half of these get cancelled

[DrunkHorseplayer]

How about a contest to guess how many of the scheduled bowl games will actually be played.

[pabonaparte]

Would SBR run a contest where only 25 to 30 bowl games are confirmed to actually happen? I mean if leagues can play in a Bubble, perhaps it's a good idea to be flexible here as well?

[seaborneq]

I don’t expect anything past the semifinals and championship game.

[sharkbite8]

Following

[big joe 1212]

Won’t these bowls lose money if no fans?

[sharkbite8]

bump

[stake1]

Many teams opting out. Could be difficult to find enough schools willing to play

[seaborneq]

Many teams opting out. Could be difficult to find enough schools willing to play

This is the wrong year to be bowling unless its the playoffs

[daneblazer]

Just need 16 bowls. There will be at least that many

[leovegas]

Just need 16 bowls. There will be at least that many

If SBR wanted, a contest with just the Playoffs could be done. Tiebreaker could be sent in before the field is finalized. For instance, how many non-power 5 teams make the playoff? or Will Cincinnati make the playoff? etc

[thetrinity]

The La bowl got cancelled, whatever the penetrate that is.

Plus there’s no down time between seasons end and bowls.

How about a contest with the New Years 6 and championship game only? 7 points most confident 1 least confident. All other bowls could easily be scrapped.

[BigdaddyQH]

There is a rather strong possibility that the Rose Bowl game get cancelled. Pasadena is in Los Angeles County and right now L.A. County is setting new records on a daily basis for Covid 19 cases. If The NCAA and ESPN are smart, they allow the Rose Bowl and the Orange Bowl to swap places hosting the playoff games. Miami this year, Pasadena next year. However no one ever said that they were smart.

[MalikHusam]

If you do it, please make it affordable.


24 points buy in would be ok for me.

[BigdaddyQH]

The L.A. Bowl is the 11th bowl to be s**t canned so far. The others are: The Bahamas, Celebration, Fenway, Hawai'i, Holiday, Las Vegas, Motor City, Pinstripe, Redbox and Sun bowls. The Pac 12 and SEC are trying to make arrangements so that they can play each other in two of the remaining minor Bowl Games. So far, the Independence and Armed Forces Bowls are being considered.

[Zlaniner]

Lets go Bowlin' .

[daneblazer]

They ought to just move the bowls to Florida. Not like there will be a gate

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

coke sounds good anways

[pabonaparte]

They ought to just move the bowls to Florida. Not like there will be a gate

Everything except Playoffs and New Year Bowls can be played in the same stadium. Atlanta Falcons stadium sounds good.

Hell they can play every single bowl game in 1-2 venues if it means we can have a bowl contest this year lol

Why would the orange bowl agree to that?? Yes we will take it the year it cant be sold out and you take it the year it makes a profit. If the orange gets it this year they should get it next year too.
