VA Husker Fan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Of the lesser bowl games, I love the BYU-Utah match-up. Quote Link to comment
mrandyk Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Congratulations to San Jose State on becoming perhaps the single worst team to ever make a bowl game. 5-7 record overall, one of those wins over an FCS school, and the four FBS wins coming against teams with records of 7-5, 3-9, 3-9, and 3-10. FBS football either needs an extra conference's worth of teams or at least five less bowl games. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Congratulations to San Jose State on becoming perhaps the single worst team to ever make a bowl game. 5-7 record overall, one of those wins over an FCS school, and the four FBS wins coming against teams with records of 7-5, 3-9, 3-9, and 3-10. FBS football either needs an extra conference's worth of teams or at least five less bowl games. The original rule for 5-7 teams said Teams can only count one such win [bCS wins] toward the six needed for eligibility. They cannot be eligible under the provision that allows teams that finish 5-7 to play in bowls. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jerry-palm/25353577/bowling-2015-bowl-eligibility-tracker But that was the rule that said you had to be in the top 5 APR. No 5-7 teams were in the top 5 so they had to go back and modify the rule, and I guess they forgot or ignored the "no BCS wins" rules. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 STRANGEST TITLE SPONSORS FOR BOWL GAMES IN 2015 From motor oil to organic chicken, some bowl games have us questioning the thought process behind the names and sponsors. Quote Link to comment
Notre Dame Joe Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Once again I wonder what the old Jan 1st could be . . . Rose: Stanford vs Mich St.Orange: Okla vs Clemson. Big8 champ gets the Orange Bowl and they invite the nearest and highest ranked free team.Cotton: UH vs Ole Miss. UH wins a theoretical SWC assuming their games played like Oklahoma's. There is no easy way to figure out the #2 teams but I think the Cotton favored southerners.Sugar: Bama vs ND. We pick the toughest opponent we can get and this is it.Fiesta. anOSU vs TCU. Strictly business decisions. TCU is a good grab as they are a day's drive away.Peach: Iowa vs FSU. I believe they had an ACC tie in at some point. This is the first year that I would say without hesitation that the old bowl system was better. This is because I had to fictionalize so much. For example it's basically fan fic to say that UH has the same record in the SWC if TCU/TTech/Baylor play as they do today. Still it might be about equal to what we will actually have.
