Fixed game

how would it? because it would make those bowls meaningless. some already are to some, but not to the teams playing it, those sponsoring it, those who buy ad space. i think it would be a hard sell that they would do as well under a new system.

Are the popajohnsbowl or San Francisco Bowl or Texas Bowl or Liberty Bowl or Chik-fil-a bowl or Holiday Bowl or the rest not meaningless now? Do the teams playing in the Hawaii Bowl think if they play big they might get some votes for #1? Is the NCAA BB tourney not the biggest tournament in the US? Did CBS give the NCAA more than a billion dollars for the rights to cover it for 7 years?

chuck, you don't have to convince me. i agree that many are meaningless now. but they aren't considered meaningless to those schools. you have to convince them.

But what does a 8 or 16 team playoff have to do with those bowls? Why would they not exist. The bowls are seperate from the NCAA. If they will make money and ESPN or somebody else will cover the game they will exist.
