              profit i did not realize there are 35 bowl games. how long has it been like that?

              there is just barely enough eligible teams for these bowls.

              that is fukkin ridiculous.

                stealthy, there have been a lot for a long time. But the # doesnt matter, if theres 80 bowl eligible teams next year you will see the SBRforum.com Bowl, the Tampax bowl, uglyluck.com bowl, Sethlin Security bowl, Viagra bowl, etc...

                      true, but i don't remember a time when EVERY eligible team got to go bowling.

                      usually there are a few left out.

                      college football loves celebrating mediocrity.

                              very valid point.

                              my friend made a killing live betting a lot of these second and third tier bowl games last year.

                                    71 teams now, what a win for ASU.

                                    who is the odd man out now??

                                      I havent counted recently but I thought there were about 25 or 30 bowls leaving a few teams out of the mix
                                      The more the merrier, college football supports all the other school sports that wouldn't survive without crappy bowl games

                                      It's the best time of the year ... watching crappy bowl games

                                        You know you have too many bowl games when they are sponsored by godaddy and beef 'o' brady's

                                        For christ sake, its become an absolute joke

                                          All the bowls are "Trap Games" so let's place an Over/Under on how many times we hear this BS during the bowl season.

                                          Over has to be favored....big time.

                                            agreed workhorse, this is when certain conferences get exposed, like the big 12 a couple of years back when they were hyped by all the national media syndicates.

                                              Big deal for teams who haven't been there in awhile like the Cuse. Otherwise, yeah it's pretty dumb.

                                                Teams will be left out, and yes they are trap games, to a certain extent. That's 1.

                                                        A lot of those bowl games don't even mean anything, for the schools is just about about making money from broadcasting

                                                          Would you rather the season end this week? I like games like Texas A&M and Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. As a bettor, I would think that you'd want as many games/bowls as possible.

                                                            When I become sports czar of the world, one of first things I'm going to do is cut the number of bowl games in half and mandate that they all be played no later than Jan. 1. We all agree: the current setup is beyond ridiculous.

                                                              The bowl games for these 6-6 games become important since they get 15 extra practices that if they are a young team they need. If you are bitching about too many bowls or too many teams in bowls you probably don't really like college football all that much anyhow.

Here in VA next year they have divisions and 16 out of 21 teams will make the "playoffs" in each division. 2-8 and the post-season here we come.

                                                                    I like having all these games. It's good to see the major conferences have to play decent non-conf opponents instead of the cupcakes and FCS-ers they schedule every year.

                                                                    What I don;t like is how ESPN and others cheer for meaningless accomplishments like "Team X is going to their 5th straight bowl." WOW! They never let the young'ns know that there were times we didn't have over 30 games - or over 20 - or over 10.

                                                                    In the 50s and part of the 60s --- there were the big 4 - Rose,Sugar, Cotton, Orange - along with the Gator and Sun and then maybe a couple others like the Tangerine for the smaller programs. Back then, it was a big deal. Pretty much only major conference champs or top independents went to a bowl - unless it was a BigTen repeat champ in which case they went nowhere because the Big 10 had a rule that said "can't go to Rose bowl in consecutive years" and if no Rose Bowl, then no bowl at all for the Big10 champ. The runner-up got to go.

                                                                    A few more in the Gator,Sun range started in the 60s - but just a few. It probably wasn't until the 80s that the number of games reached 20.
