clt would love to see a bowl in Asheville.

Wow great news to get 7 tie ins now...I thought the Sun Belt was a better conference for football? 5?

Sun Belt has 10 teams. 5 bowls = 50% of league

CUSA has 14 teams. (possibly) 7 bowls = 50% of league.

seams about right to me.

My bad I thought you guys had 12 teams, no one knows who is in Sun belt anyways, good luck with your 5 teams....

Such pointless chest beating, and one of the Sun Belt lurkers has already pointed out the flaw in your logic here.

Don’t we already have 7 bowl tie ins and 2 secondary agreements?

Not every year. For instance, had 6 last year.

? I think you are mistaken. We still had 7 bowl tie ins and 2 secondary agreements CUSA had 9 teams in bowls. Some are tie-ins are traded for better bowls are different bowls based on what is best for the team. Southern Miss played Florida State in Independence Bowl, Tech kicked SMU a** in the Frisco Bowl

Yeah that list is incorrect, doesn't include tie-in with Hawaii bowl that was traded with Camelia or Orlando

I knew someone would say it. Why are there too many bowls? What is so bad about more football? Seriously WTF?

Because the vast majority of them mean absolutely nothing. Especially when you have 5 and 6 win teams playing in them.

Very few 5 win teams are bowling and at least one conference has banned it's members from going bowling at 5 games.

All of them mean nothing.

clt says espn plus is reporting the formation of the millenial bowl. All teams not invited to other bowls are invited to enjoy avocado toast, free wifi and small plated food items.

Location will likely be a place so trendy, you don’t know about it.

That gives a better matchup and reward for winning the G5 conference. Right now the champs get to equal or worse bowl matchups than teams that go 7-5. My school got stuck with fricken Akron after going 10-3 and undefeated in conference USA. That wasn't right

I all for it. MW Champ vs CUSA Champ. Played on Jan. 1

And I pick you guys because the AAC wouldn't go for it because of their ego/imaginary P6 status. The MAC and Sunbelt while nice doesn't have the cache' or fanbase for that type of game in my opinion. CUSA has more to offer and at least have the upper programs to bring a fanbase to the bowl game even if it is in Arizona.

Wouldn't mind if Stadium broadcasted the game on Jan. 1 so there can be another bowl game OTA beside the Citrus Bowl. I'm a cord cutter so I won't be watching the NY6 bowls. Only the Sun Bowl and Citrus....I miss the old days of multiple games on 1/1 on TV for free.

All of this bowl creation is so that the P5s can set up P5 vs P5 bowl matchups and force the G5 to play G5s in bowls. This gets them one step closer to "it just makes sense to split the FBS into two separate leagues".

I think we are already there. Really, the MW and AAC only have a P5 bowl tie and they are the basically the lowest qualifying team in the conference. Ours may disappear altogether and the AAC may only have 1 provisional tie-in to a P5 school...as a backup only in the next bowl cycle.

The only P5-G5 bowl game will be the Access Bowl...or the CFP.


In essence, it doesn't matter on the bowl end, but it does matter during the regular season though and it seems the P5 schools aren't giving up on G5 regular season games which has a more impact than the bowl game.

You are right of course. Unfortunately, the P5 has already won. I am no fan of UCF, but they should of been #2 in the final poll. The system is rigged, and the G5 has NO chance with a four team playoff. Judy is crazy for even entertaining the idea, as are all the G5 commissioners. A two loss P5 will make the playoff before an undefeated G5 ever will.

Ok??? ALL Bowl games mean absolutely nothing. They always have been pointless. Again I don’t get it. People are excited all off season for football and when it comes the first game could be Elon College vs Vermont Tech and people will watch and love it. Watch football all season long and love it. Then bowl season comes and people freak out and complain. It’s the best of college football playing and people are pissy. It’s the last of football before the offseason. It’s all kinds of college football at a time of year when many are on Xmas vacations. You can literally sit and watch football and people are crying about this 6-6 team doesn’t “deserve” it. LAME.

Even if it was a 1 Win team... WHY DOES IT MATTER??? Bowl games are just more football. A chance to see teams play that possibly never have or have and have an awesome history. I wish there were 65 bowl games. I think some people are just natural whine and moaners and they want to complain to draw attention to themselves. Those same people probably watch every bowl game too.
