It’s a special time of year. It’s the time between the end of the college football regular season and the BCS bowls. And while there are traditional New Year’s bowls that hold some significance (see Cotton Bowl, Gator Bowl, San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), most are just boring and of interest to only those fans who care about the teams playing (see the 10 Pittsburgh fans at the Meineke Car Care Bowl).
So, here are the worst bowls, a little late but worst nonetheless:
- Little Caesars Pizza Bowl – Marshall v. Ohio (Marshall won). Between the 2 schools, there are approximately 94 fans. Yay!?
- Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl – Clemson v. Kentucky (Clemson won). You said Gaylord.
- Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl – Bowling Green v. Idaho. Who wants to watch a game at Boise State? Who wants to have to look at the blue turf? Probably not the 14 people who attend the game by choice.
- GMAC Bowl – Troy v. Central Michigan. It’s January 6th. Why would you have a bowl game on January 6th? It makes absolutely no sense. And it’s Troy v. CMU. The ratings should be…ummmm, poor?
- International Bowl - South Florida v. Northern Illinois. You’re going to put South Florida in Toronto on January 2nd. That is a recipe for boredom and disaster. I’m guessing there should be about 3 USF fans in the stadium. And maybe 20 NIU.
There are too many bowls. And those 5 above prove it. But there’s definitely no room for a playoff.
