Bowls!? We don't need no stinkin Bowls!

While reviewing the college football Bowl schedule this year I have come realize what a sorry state college football is in.  What ever happened to the traditional Bowls like the Peach Bowl and the Citrus Bowl???  Now we have the Chick-fil-a Bowl, Outback Bowl and my all time favorite...the Beef O'Brady Bowl!  What the hell is that?? 

Ok ok, the corporate sponsorship take-over complaint is old hat.  I get that.  However, what was once a New Year's Day tradition has become a month long season of Bowls, from Dec 18-Jan 10.  This week alone we have a game everyday except Wednesday.  They must have thought to themselves Wednesday is not a football day.  Just about any team can get into a Bowl game now.  There's 35 freakin games!!!  There's games with a .500 team playing a 7-5 team, and there's 5 sub-.500 teams playing in a bowl.  They let anyone play in a bowl game now.  Any Division I head coach that doesn't make a Bowl game should just be automatically fired.  Who want to see Troy play Ohio anyway?

The BSC just made things worse.  We wanted a playoff system, but they just screwed up our order like going through a fast-food drive through.  I said No mustard, No mustard!  Only the top 2 "rated" teams from a major conference get to play for a championship.  Thats like saying the Patriots and the Falcons can only play for the Super Bowl because they have the best record and they are in tougher conferences.  No one else has a shot.  Sorry 2009 NFC champion AZ Cardinals, you wouldn't even had a chance if the BCS ran things.  So teams like TCU can only settle for the consolation prize.  Sorry great season, here's your rose.  The sad part is TCU used to be in the same conference as Texas, Texas A&M, and Arkansas.  SMU screwed that up for everyone.

I'm not watching another college football game until some kind of playoff system is in place.  Funny thing is I always had an argument with my friends over which is better: college vs pro football.  Their argument was college sports is more pure, not tainted by money.  No, college football is all about money just as much as the pros.  The difference is the pros don't try to hide the fact its about money.
