Should 6-6 teams be invited to a bowl game?

its all about filling in spots for the bowl games

usually teams at 6-6 have more to win for and the alabama and oklahoma st. game one team is going to have a losing season which makes it bad for college football

I think if they were 7-5 it wouldn't be so bad

No, a team should have at least a 7-5 record to make a bowl.

Putting a .500 team in a bowl game makes the game a joke, like today's Independence Bowl with two 6-6 teams

I'm going with "No." There are probably too many bowls as it is, without having so many that you're throwing mediocre teams in. No one cares about those games except for the fans of the teams that are in them. That's not much of an argument for having those bowls, though. What are they going to do next, have EVERYONE be in a bowl? That said, it is all about money, so don't expect anything to change anytime soon.

If they have to have so many bowl games, at least they could humor me with one pitting the two worst college teams in the country against each other. It could be called the "Mr. Clean Toilet Bowl." :-P

Never.

This whole bowl thing is equivalent to all of the professional sports leagues extending their seasons until we can almost watch any sport any day of the year. It is all about money, only this time for the athletic departments.

Unless a team can win at least three quarters of its games, and those against some quality opponents, they should spend the holiday season watching those who can on TV. A mediocre team playing another mediocre team in a mediocre game following two mediocre seasons is mediocrity epitomized.

I agree with Laroya...it's all about filling in spots and that's how these teams got in the bowls in the first place. It's also about MONEY so that's why there's so many retarded bowls. Who cares about the International Bowl, seriously?

NO WAY...there are just too many .com this and .com that bowls out there now. a 6-6 season is not a good season, because usually 2-3 of those wins are against not name teams during the first few weeks of the season (see the MN gophers schedule).

Its simply by fact theirs too many bowls in touch is why we see too many .500 communities in touch in a bowl. those conferences are consistently finding for a bowl for their decrease finished communities, why each group in touch in a bowl frm a convention in simple terms skill greater funds. the enormous East grow to be supposively getting themselves a bowl up in NYC stated as the applebowl. in addition they have that Toronto bowl additionally offered to them alongside with Meinike automobile bowl between others to contain the BCS bowl they have. That on my own is 50% of the communities in touch, the apple bowl I beleive grow to be a bust, yet they are aligned with 4 bowls plus already. This additionally the actual reason you spot maximum BCS communities schedule softly in simple terms before convention play, maximum play 4 or 5 video games in simple terms before convention play. a number of those bowls require is 6 wins against a FBS group. So we could say Vanderbilt for i.e. They play communities like Duke,Iowa St,Wyoming, E.Tenn State, Furman as an occasion. They go 6-0 against those communities. All they decide on now is scrap up 2 convention wins interior the SEC and that they are bowl eligable. Its a funds element is all. Its their to strengthen each convention in earnings earnings plus help recruiting for that convention with television exposure. they could desire to drop 0.5 those bowls for my section. yet conferences wont stand for it, in certainty maximum are finding to characteristic greater bowls. Hmmm, makes you ask your self how lots much less complicated those non-convention video games are going to be interior the destiny particularly the enormous 6

no its not fair to teams that work their butts off to get to the bowl games when teams can get in on .500 records

No.

What it means is that there are way too many damn bowls and we need a playoff system.

sure

no one watches those bowl games

so it doesnt matter

why not let them play one more game
