I mean sure it’s great that the 5th place MAC teams gets a bowl but it cheapens the experience when over half of FBS makes one.

I also detest the other byproduct of the proliferation of bowls—the body bag, rent-a-victim games. Once teams figured out they could schedule 4 OOC weaklings (and 1 of them being FCS) and then go 2-6 in the conference slate and make a bowl that practice became common place.

I am less bothered that the 5th place MAC school got a bowl than I am the 9th or 10th place P5 school getting into a bowl game that is better than what the 1st or 2nd team non-autonomous bowl get invited to.
