Damn, I just thought of a fix to this crazy, newfangled bowl season, with opt-outs and injuries and covid and what-not!!!
There's only 5 or 6 non-playoff bowls.
There. Done.
I'm kidding!!!
Okay, so there's only 5-6 non-playoff bowls. Why? You'll see in a second.
We take each conference's non-playoff schools' draft-eligible players with a 3rd-round grade or worse and make an all-star team out of them. And that's the team. It can have all-americans on it if they're young enough.
It'll be a great team. And they'll have all that extra practice time to mesh together as a cohesive unit. No opt-outs, injuries become irrelevant, and we get quality football.
The B1G's best vs the PAC's best, and so on down the line. Each conference produces a team and that's why there's only 5-6 bowls.
BRILLIANT!!!
