Rose bowl sucks and that's why they had a crappy game this year. Should've picked Mizzou.

I forget what drama was going on earlier this season but basically I realized then that the Rose Bowl board are a bunch of douches.

don't like it then they can be replaced. Do they think the PAC/Big10 will still come to their game if invited to a playoff?

Of course they don't want it, they would stand to lose advertising revenue.

Bowl games have become such a joke. Do we need 32 bowl games?

The bowl system has come down to nothing more than a advertising dollar frenzy. Look at the names of the bowl games, papajohns.com bowl, Meineke Car Care bowl, Chick-fil-A bowl etc.
That's something to tell your kids in the future, "hey son, your daddy played in the papajohns.com bowl when he was in school. Papa Johns doesn't exist anymore, but boy did they have some shitty pizza and a bowl game!". A bunch of money grubbing sell outs.

Bowl games should be a reward for excellence, not a reward for mediocrity.

"Rose Bowl officials have said they are wary of any change to the BCS that would lessen the significance of their game or make it more difficult for them to line up the their traditional Big Ten-Pac-10 matchup."

I don't get it. How was the Rose Bowl significant this year?

With the BCS championship game, the Rose Bowl doesn't mean squat. What would be smart is to integrate the Rose Bowl into a playoff that leads up to the BCS championship game. They could take the 4 bowls, Rose, Sugar, Fiesta and Orange, and play 8 teams. Then a BCS semifinal, and then finally the championship game.

None of the 4 bowls would have any less significance than they had this year.

Why do you care how many bowl games there are? If you don't care about the chick-fil-a bowl, then dont watch it.

Bowl games are a nice change of pace from the conference schedule. It allows for some top to bottom (ok, middle) conference comparisons. It gives fans of more than one school per conference something to root for at the end of the season... If we only had an 8 team playoff, USC would be the only team from the Pac10 that had anything to play for by the last couple games.

Think of it this way. BCS bowls are rewarded for excellence. Regular bowl games are rewarded for good seasons.

And there is no reason there have to be any less bowls with a playoff system. Hell, they could even rotate the big bowls around each year as to which one hosted the championship game.

You can blame the Sugar Bowl selection committee just as much as the Rose Bowl committee for Georgia not being there.

They were the SEC champs and were tied to the Sugar Bowl. The Bowl committee did not let them out of the agreement. Even if they did, Rose Bowl would have never picked Georgia because they like to preserve the traditional Big Ten / Pac-10 matchup.

Bowl games are a reward for student athletes, not to the fans. I agree that there are too many of them. Although they may seem meaningless to you, I would bet that they mean a great deal to the players on a team like Bowling Green or New Mexico.

UGA was not the SEC champ. (they weren't even the SEC East champ)

There have been so many great Rosebowl games over the years, its sad to see them become so irrelevant.

I don't mind that there are 30 bowl games, I don't mind that there is corporate sponsorship, but I hate the fact the bowl names are getting dropped.

Chick-Fil-A bowl should be the Peach Bowl for crying out loud! Make it "The Peach Bowl brought to you by Chick-Fil-A", but don't fuck with the names :(

No the Rose Bowl is still on Jan. 1st. And as long as the Rose Bowl can still manage multi million dollar payouts, it will never be irrelevant.

You need to pay more attention to football--USC up until the final regular season game was still playing for a spot in the Rose Bowl. If they had lost Arizona St would've been crowned Pac-10 champs and gone to the Rose Bowl, or if ASU lost then magically UCLA would've been to the Rose Bowl..
