2025 College Football Bowl Season

[Leonardfan]

Didn't realize a bowl game was played yesterday.

Boise St vs Washington - Boise St got blown out. Not much to report it looks like. 5 INTs thrown between Madsen and Cutforth.

Didn’t realize there was a game already either.

it seems that the market has become over saturated … what does this bode for the future?

at least two teams with losing records are playing in bowl games this year (Mississippi St and Rice, both at 5-7), and many others will potentially have a losing record after their bowl game, as there are numerous teams playing who are 6-6.

surely this can’t continue, can it?

Every team that gets to 6 wins has had a bowl spot for a number of years, so that's nothing new. Teams opting out of games and screwing over their seniors is a relatively new phenomenon. The playoff system now at 12 teams has really devalued the bowl games. It's been happening since the inception, but now if you're not one of the 12 (sounds Messianic?) you're nothing. Plus I don't remember having bowl games starting on the Army-Navy game day. I guess the bowl organizers are desperate for airtime spots.

One would have to think that all of these sponsors willing to shell out money will eventually dry up. There were too many bowl games to begin with but the transfer portal and biased playoff committee are really accelerating the demise. No 5 win team deserves a bowl invitation. This year Notre Dame, Kansas State and Iowa State all declined bowl invites.
