College Bowl Games
To Many College Bowl Games?
As I started writing this blog I realize that there were still a few college bowl games left.
However, this year there was over forty college bowl games, that was a bit much, don’t you think?

I tried to have the same amount of zest for each game, but it was hard. UCLA looked as bad in their bowl game as they did when they played USC. Air Force didn’t look much better playing CA-Berkeley. Or how bad was it watching Boise State play Northern Illinois at the Poinsettia Bowl on December 23, the final score was Boise 55 and Northern Illinois 17.
There were also several games that were very good and even a couple that were upsets, such as Houston upsets Florida State 38-24 in Peach Bowl.

Or how about the Alamo Bowl , with TCU, Horned Frogs playing the Oregon Ducks, it was like watch two different games with the first half being won by the Ducks and the second half being won by the Horned Toads.

Many sports announcers have made comments about how boring this year’s bowl games were.
They blamed it on the pairing up of the teams, the amount of bowl games and the TV schedule of several games being played on New Year’s Eve.
It has been said that only Alabama-Clemson can save college football’s worst bowl season.

I understand the need for college football bowl games; I know it’s all about the money that they generate for the schools. Most of it coming from TV sponsors, but how many of these forty plus bowl games were actually worth watching? I tried to watch as many of these games as possible, but several actually put me to sleep.

The money that these bowl games generate go toward school scholarships and help support many of the other sport activities that college offer, but don’t bring in the necessary money to support them.
There is another reason that the college bowl games are important, at least to several of the senior football players, and that is to give them one last chance to show off their football skills to the NFL, thus improving their chances of entering the NFL draft.
One of the first of these senior players is the CA-Berkeley Quarterback, Jared Goff announcing he’s entering the NFL draft. Believe me, by the end of January or February the list will be long.
Unfortunately for most college football players, the majority of them will never play pro-ball.

Maybe the forces, that not only rank the college football teams during the year, but also select
what teams goes to what bowls can figure out a way to do a better job at lining up what school plays what school. This past bowl season was definitely not the best college has to offer and hopefully the selection committee will learn from their past mistakes.
