I just don't see 10, let alone 11-game league schedules happening for two reasons:
  • A number of teams have OOC rivalries such as IA/ISU, PU/ND, etc. Hard to do that with only one or two OOC slots available.
  • At least for now, you need to go .500 to go bowling. Most teams schedule for that by playing just one marquee OOC game and two bodybags. If Purdue was scheduled to play 11 B1G games and ND then even a pretty good PU team could end up ineligible to bowl at 5-7.


I don't think this matters at all...unfortunately
I think it has WAY more to do with how many guaranteed home games teams can get, and your point #2

The bowl eligibility problem can be  resolved by changing bowl elligibilty requirements to  only require at least 5 FBS wins, but they must be FBS wins.  FCS wins don't count.  

Or maybe a rule that if you have at least 4 wins within your own FBS conference, you are also bowl eligible 

So if you are playing 11 conference games, and  also  lose to Notre Dame and finish 5-7 overall  you are bowl elligible.

I'd like to increase the bowl eligibility requirement to 8 wins vs on-level competition.
P5 -> P5
G5 -> G5
NAIA -> NAIA

I think everyone should be bowl eligible.

yup, let the bowl committees pick the best team to make a profit - regardless of record

They make allowances if there aren't enough 6 win teams anyway, I don't see the point.  If a bowl likes a 3-9 team, so be it.

To be a fair, a certain 3-9 team would've probably been the favorite in a lot of bowl games last year.

Bowl games are a joke period, a hold-over from the last century.  Mostly meaningless, I'm glad A&M cancelled ours.

I disagree, for obvious reasons.  And come midDecember I find myself watching 6-6 Arizona State playing Akron in the Poulan Weedeater - Buceess Extravaganza Visit Boise Idaho Bowl.

what makes a lot of bowl games a joke is all the players who sit out
