Good argument. Since you've just conceded, here's an FYI for future debates you get yourself into: When you resort to ad hominem, you've effectively thrown in the towel.

losing teams from playoffs will NEVER go to bowl games. Period, the end.... People propose this dumb **** every year and it has absolutely no basis in reality.

Since you're interested in a post mortem of your argument...

Speaking of reality, I'm basing my assessment on historical college football practice -- e.g., schools that lose important games, such as CCGs, and those that don't even sniff the CFP go bowling and have never voluntarily declined to bowl. Because you were arguing against historical evidence and basic logic (read: $), the burden was on you to substantiate your claim. But the basis for your claim was "No, will never happen. Dumbsh*t. The more emphatic I am, the more believable I am."

There is a light years difference between CCG and a playoff game....

You're talking in terms of significance? The more the playoff expands, the less significant the early rounds are. In any case, there's no logical reason (again, follow the money) for a school to turn down a bowl opportunity if they're knocked out in an early playoff round. You may have missed it, but no school has ever willingly turned down the opportunity to bowl.
