And it would take a ton of meaning away from college football's regular season. Michigan's loss to App. State might not mean a hill of beans if we had a 32-team playoff.


:rolling::rolling::rolling:
You mean people football and basketball players get an education
By watching sportscenter you would never have guessed that
:rolling::rolling:

A 32 team play off is to much but an 8 team play off is feasable and they do it in other divisions

Now a days when i hear the words Bowl Game it makes me sick. Just cause there are so many. Whatever happend to just having the Rose bowl, Orange bowl, and Sugar bowl. With the Championship game rotatin between them. Honestly do we really need the Insite, outback, or Notagoingtowatchit Bowl. Then it would start to mean something again. Give the players really something to work for. Not just a pat on the back and say "Well we finished 5th in the big ten standings but we get to go to the motor chitty bowl." AHHHHHH. If there were 15 Chili Bowls a year would there be 250+ cars at each one. i dont think so. It would just be a indoor dirt track that had a local series. i know this wont change anything but is something to think about.

MORE BOWLS MEANS MORE SCHOOLS GET MORE MONEY. That's the bottom line, good or bad.

And that is why america is getting soft. The main reason why i race is cause when the dust settles there is only one person in victory lane. and the other thirty or fourty that show up know that. but you go back the next weekend and work you ass off to be that person sitting in victory lane. it is about winning proving that your the better man that night. if everyone got to take there picture with the trophy why go. just sit at home a get really good at photoshop.
