Had a thought that ‘ it’s kind of a bummer we don’t get to go to a bowl’.

Which is night and day different from saying “goddamnit This sucks I don’t wanna go to the stupid fvcking playoff, I want to go to a bowl game.”

It’s really simple, going to a bowl game has been part of the college football experience for a century and under the current set up, there is no reason that we can’t allow these teams to all still go to a bowl game and get to participate in the playoff. it does not have to be an either/or situation.

there are two solutions that make infinitely more sense than the way they did it this year.

1. All 12 teams play in the first round in one of the bowl games.

2. The bowls are made completely separate from the playoff and no playoff teams go to a bowl game.
