Disagree here. Bowl games used to mean something. Now we have 5-7 teams playing each other in half empty stadiums with 100k TV viewers, opt outs galore and a general national disinterest apart from the playoffs and a few other key matchups.
Go back to 16 traditional Bowl Games played around New Years Day plus an 8 team playoff afterward. That's 40 teams in the postseason, or roughly 30 percent of college teams and 23 games. That's plenty of entertainment plus it still means something.

Yeah, they meant a bunch of cigar smoking grifters repping the bowls skulking around w/boosters at big state schools making backroom deals to bring in teams that had large enough fan bases willing to travel during the holidays. Bowls were never anything more than a way to try and bring in tourism to cities during the holidays no matter how much ESPN CFB retrospective wank fests and your nostalgia blinded eyes tell you otherwise.
