Long overdue, IMO. One of the things being considered is requiring at least a 7-5 record to be bowl eligible. Bowls have become an expectation instead of a reward, and far too many teams with .500 records or worse are playing post-season football. College Football’s Bowl System Eyeing Sweeping OverhaulIn nine of the last 10 years, the number of bowl spots have out-numbered the number of bowl-eligible teams, forcing bowls to incorporate those with 5–7 records.
Is it time to make bowls more valuable again and increase the standard from 6-6 to 7-5?

No way a .500 team should be playing in a bowl game!Too many bowl games that mean nothing and cities can't even afford to paint the teams logo in the end zone Mo😁 ! Speaking of which and that game, did you see the stands? The band had more folks in the stands than actual paying fans.

And now with the expanded playoff no kid that is going in the draft is going to opt in for a nothing bowl. They are literally garbage games.

Those may be available later. |

Speaking on bowl eligibility, how is it a 9-3 Free shoes draws a 6-6 Oklahoma team?

They almost got beat too, by that 6-6 team, but that's another story. Totally agree with the low tier teams and bowls, and players opting out. It's turning into a contest of our 2s and 3s against your 2s and 3s. Definitely boring. |
