Bowl Season!
There are now 124 Division 1 (BCS) College Football teams. And yes that includes UMass. There are 35 Bowl Games. And yes that includes the "Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl." Quick math says that over 56% of teams will play in a Bowl Game. Quite an achievement for those clubs.
If you are 6-6, you are going to a bowl game, if you are 6-7 like Georgia Tech, but lost in the Conference Championship game, you are still invited. The Yellow Jackets could very well finish the season 6-8, but they played in a Bowl!
Every year we talk about the ridiculous Bowls that seemingly pop out of no where. These are all real Bowl Games:
Belk Bowl
GoDaddy.com Bowl
Pinstripe Bowl
Potato Bowl
Beef O'Brady's Bowl
Little Caesar's Bowl
Military Bowl
Russell Athletic Bowl
Meineke Car Care Bowl
Armed Forces Bowl
Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
Heart of Dallas Bowl
Compass Bowl
Even all the good Bowl games have crazy sponsors now that muddle up the name. I know College Football is all about money (have you seen the conferences lately?), but what an absolute joke and embarrassment these once proud Bowl games have become.
The "good" Bowl games suck this year too for the most part. With Louisville winning the Big East and Wisconsin winning the Big 10, combined with Northern Illinois somehow getting to play this year's Boise State, Utah, or TCU, the BCS games are crap, outside of Oregon vs. Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl and of course Alabama vs. Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship game.
At least the playoff is next season... Wait, not next season? Ok the following year. Great.
