On my bowl pick sheet I choose every ACC team to lose.
Well, somebody has to play in all of these bowls. I mean, we need 40+ bowl games, right?
One thing I will never complain about is too many football games lol.
After the Final Four, the weather is warmer but it’s a cold, dark Siberian winter in my sports brain. When I’m looking forward to tennis tournaments in the spring and summer, that’s not exactly ideal. Sad college football is coming to a quick end, as always. Goes too fast.
I probably speak for the majority although I recognize that there are many who disagree when I say that, other than perhaps 3 or 4 bowls games outside the CFP playoff, I don't watch and don't care about the outcome of any of the bowl games. Two mid-tier 8-4 or 7-5 teams playing a bowl game that determines exactly nothing? No, thank you, I've got other things to do with my time versus spending 3+ hours on that game. I'll watch parts of the NY6 games, UK's game, of course, the playoff games and that's probably it. And, during the season, I watch a LOT of CFB across the whole spectrum (living in MST helps a bunch as West Coast games occur at a reasonable time). But, 'bowl season' has become about 6-8 games total for me. The other 30+ games might as well not be played. To each their own, of course.
No, I get it. I've lost some passion for bowl season too. But I'll never complain for too much football.
Yea I'm the same way and I even cancel my live tv service as soon the the NCAAT is over. But I would be all for moving college basketball back a couple of months to maybe starting in January and having May Madness. That way college basketball could have all the spotlight once the football playoffs are over. Outside of the hardcore basketball fans, nobody watches or cares about November and December games and it's a shame because there are lots of good OOC matchups. Plus, there wouldn't be such a long offseason in between the two major sports. April-Septmeber is a long time to wait for football to start. If we spread it out, we would only have the summer months without the big two and summer seems to fly by anyway.
It cracks me up when people complain about too many bowls, as though they're being forced to watch them.
Agree but when the "team" shows up without a QB, like last night, or even UK last year who basically went to Nashville with no offense, sort of hard to justify 3 hours of watching a dull non competitive game
I don't give a crap about the ACC but I felt the need to correct this. UCF is a Big 12 team.
Already corrected. USF played Syracuse. They're in the AAC. As you pointed out, UCF is now in the B12. They played Ga Tech last night and lost.
Indeed, my error.
Well...keep in mind that no one is forced to watch. The USF v Syracuse game was competitive on paper when the game was announced, but things change and there's nothing the bowl can do about that.
Their board is entertaining. 50 percent blame the refs. 45 percent blame everyone but Brohm because to do so would destroy the narrative of a looming dynasty. 5 percent are sane adults.
