Is anybody watching the bowl games this year? In years past I really enjoyed seeing teams that would not otherwise meet playing in the bowls. Now they seem like a waste of time. With portal opt-outs and coaching changes, and actual play-off games, do we really need a Fenway Bowl in 2025?

I'm enjoying the Pop Tarts bowl currently.

The Pinstripe bowl was fascinating to watch considering both teams were preseason Top 10 contenders for the CFP and ended up in a meh bowl.

2/3 of us may be gone in 5 years. Enjoy your time!

They’ve been increasing the number of bowl games for years and now 2/3 are going to be gone because….playoffs? Kay.

Yea I don’t get it. Even if you expand to 16, that only knocks out 2 bowls. Is the new threshold gonna be 8-4 to get in? 6-6 and 7-5 teams can fuck off?

I'll bet you $100 there are more than 1/3 of these games are here in 5 years

According to this page https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/page/CFPBowls25/2025-2026-college-football-playoff-bowl-schedule there are 36 non playoff bowl games.

If there are more than 12 non playoff bowl games in Dec 2032/Jan 2033 you owe me $100

If there are 12 or fewer non playoff bowl games in Dec 2032/Jan 2033 I owe you $100.

Bet?

i want in on the mdmost action - define "only 1/3rd of us still here" in 5 years, how the 2/3rds of whatever that is is eliminated, etc.

ESPN has this shit down to a science. How expensive is it to roll into town with 5 cameras and Galindo level on air talent. They're making money. It's the smaller schools obligated to buy tickets and fly their team in that's losing here.

These games also do good ratings. People are sitting at home on the holiday break and like having football to watch.

Pop Tarts Bowl last year did bigger ratings than SMU’s first round playoff game.

you're like a woman who gets mad when her husband is happy

if you don't want to watch don't watch

allow us college football fans to enjoy what we love

Even though most of the smaller bowls suck, bad football is still better than no football.
