I realize that this statement is about opinion and preference, but, for me, the playoff has made the other bowls irrelevant.
Expand the playoff, and discontinue the other stuff. It used to be easier to pretend that these games meant something, but, now, you just almost can't do it.
I will probably watch A&M out of habit and because it doesn't cost anything, but, really, who cares?
Soon they'll be queuing up stories about which seniors will sit out, and which players will skip it to go play for another school.
I don't know that the second and third tier bowl match-ups could be any less interesting even if that was what the original objective had been...
I'll bet you can find some $10 seats to the Texas Bowl if you're patient...
