I just read that the "Frisco Bowl", featuring Miami against N. Texas was a late bowl addition, so that ALL bowl eligible teams had a chance to play in a bowl this year. I think that there are over 30 bowls now. In 1950, there were seven, and in 1990, there were perhaps 15.
Getting invited to a bowl game was "big stuff" just a few years ago, but now, if you finish 6-6, you are going to be bowl bound. Just like with money, too much "easy money" makes the money less valuable via inflation.
I hope that we return to the recent days of perhaps 15 bowls, so that the top 30 teams get invited, which will reduce the number of "opt outs". No more games with two 6-6 teams playing each other.
Just my thoughts.
