    I'm more scared of Cincy than Michigan.

    I’m super excited for all the Bowls to be announced. After a half assed bowl season last year, it’s going to be nice to get a full one this year.

    If Bama plays like they did against Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, or A&M, Cincinnati will have no problems. However the playoff switch has been flipped and Alabama turns into an entirely different team.

    So I guess for other bcs bowls
    Sugar: Baylor vs Ole Miss
    Rose: Utah va Ohio State

    And there no other tie ins really so
    PITT, MICHIGAN STATE, NOTRE DAME, OKLAHOMA STATE.

    Personally, I'd like notre Dame vs ok state and msu vs pitt (since notre Dame has played pitt and msu recently, fresh matchups)

    If what I read is correct, for the first time ever there are more bowl eligible teams (84) than bowl slots (82)… so they’re creating a one-off bowl game for the final two teams.

    Is this a sign of greater parity or is there such an accumulation of talent in the top 25 programs that everything else is a 50-50 toss up?

    I know it encourages scheduling cupcakes, but they should change bowl eligibility to 7 or 8 wins, and cut down on the number of bowls.

    As long as college players aren’t getting paid, I say let them all go to bowls and get swag and a free vacation and what have you.

    But if they’re getting paid (and not just the NIL stuff), I agree. 8 wins would be a much more fun benchmark, or maybe 50% of your conference games.

    It's too bad WMU ended 6th in the Mac West... :teethsmile:

    On the bright side, all the teams in that division are bowl eligible!

    Man, I’ll never understand why ESPN has to shove Booger MacFarland in my face. Dude is all over college football coverage now as if ruining NFL coverage wasn’t enough. I can’t stand that motherfucker.

    Speaks to the quality of the ACC if Pitt can’t hang with the sixth best MAC west team

    Cincinnati doesn't have two elite edge rushers though.
