I'll start this one with a couple of Florida teams. No offense to anyone but Florida State and Miami should be at home watching bowl games this year.

:nono: ESPN wouldn't have anything to serve up to the degenerate gamblers like us. You know what, I like December bowl games and I look forward to seeing old Bobby Bowden tee it up against UCLA. So I don't know about you, but I'll be on a couch enjoying the Weiser Lock Copper Bowl and the Gallery Furniture.com bowl with a 6 pack, a nice buzz and a couple hundy on the game.

I will say Iowa should have stayed home this year. They beat Purdue, NILL, Ill, Montana and SNUCK out a win against ISU and Cuse. That is their resume.

I dont think miami should make it either. Both these teams had terrible years and have seen their fair share of the spotlight this season, give a better team with less buzz a shot to shine this year.

Agree with you completely. Teams with great names and horrible programs like Slippery Rock and Morehead State should go instead.

probably iowa and bama for starters

but i would say 1/2 the teams should be bye bye......

in a fantasy world it would be the top 32 teams

4 pods of 8........meet in the middle, leaves us with 31 bowl games.......the money this would generate for the NCAA and conferences everyone would be happy.......

I thought the same thing AR

I was looking for decent teams off the beaten path earlier to subsitute for Iowa/Miami but I went into the Sun conference on yahoo sports and realized they are already in bowl games

I honestly couldnt find too many quality teams that arent in bowl games.
