The way bowl games are being skipped by players I'm much less inclined to go to a bowl today than I am a neutral season opener.

If teams are having home attendance problems, Bowls are facing a serious problem.

The only real way to make the bowl system strong again is having a 16 team team playoff. Eight bowls in round one, four bowls in round two, two bowls in round three, and the champion ship round. So you now have 15 bowl games that mean something. In fact, if you use 32 teams, then you have 31 bowl games and they all have value! This would save the bowl system and increase revenue for the schools.

Drifting off topic but got to be careful with extending the playoffs to too many teams - got a lot of big games last weekend of the season if you have teams clinching playoff spots with nothing but pride and a rivalry riding on the final game - key players sit.

Meaning, the rivalry games become even less meaningful.

Maybe not that far off topic.

If rivalry games and conference playoff games are the casualty of a better playoff system, I'm down for that...

It comes down to a fan's values. I can understand both sides. We've yet to see a scenario I described because we're sitting at a 4 team playoff. But if we move it to 16, which I could see happening at some point, it changes more than just the playoff.

With a 16 team playoff system, I see the value of a conference championship becoming less and less important...

Yesterdays game proved that a 16 team playoff is ridiculous at this point. There’s just too much separation between Alabama/Clemson and whoever #16 is. #16 doesn’t deserve an opportunity against #1.
