I'm fine with it.  But my counter has been, why limit it to bowl games?  If bowl games are just exhibitions, then every game after like 4 losses is as well, because at that point all you are playing for is the opportunity to play in the exhibition.

They had a weird run where they couldn’t win a close game. They were a strangely inconsistent but on balance competent team. 

I went to one of their games this year. They seemed completely “fine.”

I played the spread on Western Michigan, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UNLV. That last field goal from JMU hurt.

This is why I've been a big pussy and never bet real money on games.....the randomness of late-game coaching decisions.  Oh, we're up 20 late?  Just run the ball on 4th down and get the game over with.  Oh, we're up 20 late?  Kick the FG, as always.  

There is absolutely zero way to factor that in.  None.

Couple of good teams in that one. Too bad the coaches opted out, but certainly a nice afternoon of ball. 

I like Ohio staying in house with its offensive guy. Good way to hold that identity. JSU has bounced though different head coaching philosophies. Going with an older defensive guy isn’t unwise, but a bit unusual these days.
