Now that the College Football (D-I) season has wound down and is gearing up for the Bowl runs, take a look at the absurdity that has become College Bowl Mania:
- San Diego County Credit Union Bowl
- R + L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
- Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl
- Chic-fil-a Bowl
- Outback Bowl
- Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl
- Meineke Car Care Bowl
There are plenty more ignorant Bowl games. Remember when there were only 5 or 6 Bowls? Remember when it took having a great season to be invited to a Bowl game? Now, the prestige of receiving a Bowl bid (encompassed in the BCS fiasco) isn’t all that prestigious anymore.
I don’t even remember when all these Bowls exploded on the scene. I remember getting ready for the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Gator Bowl … all of a sudden, I’m watching the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl!
This year, there are SEVEN teams with a 6 – 6 record! 62 teams are playing in (meaningless) Bowl games, and only 2 are playing for a shot at the title … and even that selection process is mightily screwed up.
