Bowl Games (other than ours) and associated silliness 2024 Plus the Playoffs

Bowl is supposed to be a reward for having a good or at least decent season. Players want to spend their winter holiday someplace where they can wear shorts and a t-shirt in their off time, even better if it has beaches, palm trees, green golf courses,

Who wants to have to wear a parka and gloves to get off the bus?
Fair, but watching Nub fans complaining about the NY weather in late December after not going to a bowl game for like half a century was funny as hell.
 
In this scenario, assuming the higher seeds advance, the only difference is Indiana and Tennessee would still be playing instead of Arizona State and Boise State. The matchups would obviously be different as well, but I don't think there's a compelling reason why either Indiana or Tennessee should still be in the playoff.

I think this the most likely change for next year and would be a step in the right direction IMO.
 
Missouri has a good kicker. Every kick out of the endzone
Can't believe how much football there is to watch still. The BIG has 8 more bowl teams yet to play. Cook with mizzou is legit. Never really watched them play this year. Both teams have awesome Dline play.
Same kicker just made a 56 yarder easy

I'm definitely interested in the playoffs. The bowls, not so much, but having college football to watch is better than not having college football to watch. With this Bama-Michigan game, I'm much less into it than I would be if it was a regular season game. Casually watching and my mind keeps drifting towards wondering which of these players might be available in the portal tomorrow. My brain has definitely entered offseason mode.
 
Univariate analysis having a great day though!

Here's that travel logistics and cost argument for this playoff format. They will need to make serious changes to the locations of these games, likely moving to campus until the Semis at the very least.


As long as they're selling enough tickets at premium prices on the primary market, I'm not convinced anyone making decisions gives a **** what they drop to on secondary sites.
 
Rough. Bowls fought hard to keep their place in the new CFP format. Lots to rethink in this process.
That's what it comes down to. Bowls delivered corporate sponsorship money at levels which bought a continuing place in the big tent.

I don't think it will work for long if it's already struggling in year one when it's all new and exciting.

If neutral site playoff games was the most lucrative model, the NFL would do it.

Weren't the bowl tie-ins maintained to at least some extent?

Another easy fix-get rid of that. If UGA wants to play in Atlanta again because they won the SEC, let them.
