Recently New Years Day Bowl games were all about the SEC kickin the crap out of Big 10 teams. Today it seems the Big 10 has finally shown up

Of all the bowl I've caught i've only seen two that were worth it.

What I can't get is the crowds being so small <50%m, some <25%. It's sad. Even todays Outback Bowl Michegan and SCarolina, which was a greeat game btw, wasn't close to sold out.

In short, too many bowl games.

It sounds like you do get it. Oversaturation.

I think there were over 40 bowl games, meaning as long as you're in the top 100 teams you make it to a bowl game. Not a very exclusive club. Not a very high caliber of competition in most cases.

They killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.

It use to be 30. I didn't realize there were that many more. with corporate names, it's hard to keep them straight.

I basically watch only the New Years Day Bowls and the BCS Championship. The Orange Bowl has a shitty matchup this year. Never thought I'd see Northern Illinois in a major bowl

This one baffles me, 15th ranked NI and a 12th ranked Florida, and Florida is a 14 point favourite.

Northern Illinois deserves as much of a shot as a 5 loss Wisconsin going to the Rose Bowl and can the NCAA please ban Big East football? An awful Louisville team against Florida? That would have made an awesome basketball game.

I remember when it used to Rose, Orange, Cotton and Sugar. End of story.

Corporate America spoils it again.

Congats to Wisconsin, an unranked team, making it a game a game against a top 10 team. They came that close, sort of.
