Hypothetical Bowl Lineups
« on: December 03, 2018, 11:59:09 AM »
That time of year to see what we could have had, and whether we like it better or worse.

First my ideal scenario if you made me college football czar.  20 bowls.  5 tiers of 5-1-2, with the top tier doubling as an unseeded playoff, moving forward to a 4 team seeded playoff on home fields.  Also actually using the standings, not randomly assigning teams trying to get teams moved around.  You do better, you move up.  As the days progress the bowls get better.  January 1 is awesome again.  Willing to tinker slightly with how the teams are selected from the conferences.  Like Iowa at 8-4 getting left out because they lost to every team they'd be in a tiebreaker with

Not a bad bowl, just has a bad name now.  Was the Copper Bowl, then the Cactus Bowl.

But actually, I'm going to go ahead and disallow the bowls to be named after the sponsor.

I'd go to Hawaii for that, and since we do Christmas on the 24th, it would be no problem. Sign me up.

I used to love that game on Christmas Day.  Felt like a bottom feed bowl, back when you actually had to be ok to go to a bowl, but it would be a solid team now.  Was generally a middle of the pack Pac 10 team vs. a middle of the pack major conference opponent, both being like 7-4.  I think MSU went once in the 90s and got blasted by Washington, like 56-31.

Pre-1971 sub out Ohio State under the no repeat rule (they would have gone last year) and depending on how they treated who was the runner up, either Michigan or Northwestern would go to the Rose Bowl.
