Bull Crap Bowl Games

Sitting here trying to figure out what to write for my first post and watching ESPN's Bowl Week got me thinking. Does anyone realize how many dang bowl games there are? To me it feels like 100 but we all know that isn't true. In reality there is only 35. ONLY!! of those 35, 7 are played before christmas. All 7 of which mean absolutely nothing other than one more game for seniors and if you win, a trophy. A trophy which also means nothing. Back to the 35 bowl games. Why have all those games when everyone knows the one that really matters is the one that is played 35 days after the regular season is over. That game is the National championship game. So as the fans of the teams sit and wait 35 days to say their team is the national champion, they sit and watch games that don't mean to much at all. Teams play 3 months to try and be national champions but when they are told they are playing for that title they have to wait 35 days to even settle that game on the field. Now the D-1 FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) has it right. when the season is over they have a playoff system to decide who plays for the national title. This system shows which team has the fortitude to make it through gut wrenching elimination games week in and week out. It gives us the Cinderella story of the underdog that had a tough season, rising to the challenge and knocking off the #1 team in college football. these games show more pride than stupid meaningless bowl games. the suspense is intense you win and move on or lose and go home. In bowl games you win you go home you lose you go home. The BCS sucks and needs to be changed!!! NO MORE BULL CRAP BOWL GAMES!!!!
