[QUOTE="WVex-pat in GA, post: 130621952, member: 1118784"] We once had a Top Ten of CFB, then it was expanded to 20 and then 25. In 1980 there were 15 bowl games, 25 by 2000, 35 by 2010 and 39 this year (down from 41 in 2017). Where 30 teams once played in a bowl game - 5 more than the rankings indicated - there are now 78 teams that participate in a bowl game. Of course Division 1 in 1980 had 138 teams. Now FBS has 128 and FCS has 124 teams. Power 5 has 64 teams as does G5. Today almost any team that can go 6-6 ends up in a bowl game. There's nothing special or exclusive about being in a bowl game any longer. That shouldn't keep fans from going to the bowl game, IMO. If you are a fan of the team, can attend the game then you should go to support the team; whatever it looks like on the field. [/QUOTE]
