Just don't get it.

When there is something on that does not interest me I find something else. I don't complain "oh my god there are too many sitcoms there should be less", (there should be less sitcoms but that is beside the point) .

Why does one care about a game that does not interest them?

Why does it matter if Bowling Green plays Southern Miss in a minor bowl game?
Why does this bother people especially if your school is ranked?

Does not interest you, skip it, do something else, but why complain? That is all I am saying what is the point of complaining about a game that does not interest you? Do you complain about daytime soap opera's? Too many, not enough?

The argument that too many bowl games waters down the NC is ludicrous. Period.

I'm in agreement with you. I have pondered why so many complaints and haven't come up with an answer that makes sense to me.

After many weeks of conference play, with a few cupcakes tossed in, I look forward to inter-conference and inter-sectional games to flesh out the season.

Sometimes many of us, me included, focus too much on the few matchups that are huge mismatches and complain about them, because that is what people like to do. I won't even address the LSU/Bama thing here. It's been covered enough.

I don't know if anyone cares about the number of bowls, after all it is about raising money so the schools can afford to have an athletic department and giving scholarships. I just happen to think that there are some poorly matched teams in Bowl game. The one that is stuck in my mind is Boise which is ranked #8 playing Arizona St. ( not even in the top 40) and after Arizona St. had fired it's coach. What kind of point spread we talk'n about?

My only complaint about Bowl games is that a playoff system would be a lot more fun to watch.

That's an interesting match-up.

I'd rather see WKY get an invite than UCLA (and a few others as well).
