Too many bowl games

[TennFan]

There are 40 bowl games now. That means there needs to be 80 teams with at least 6 wins. Currently there are only 75 and there could be at least 2-3 more teams become bowl eligible next weekend. There may be 3 teams with 5-7 records in bowl games.
I've always thought that teans should win 7 games to be bowl eligible. I can remember back in the 60's-70's when there were only 10 bowl games. The top games were: Sugar, Cotton, Orange and Rose Bowl. The Gator Bowl was probably the 5th or 6th highest ranked Bowl. There was the Liberty Bowl.

I'd prefer if there were no more than 20-25 bowls and the top 40 teams played in these bowls.

No conference should have more than 4-5 teams in bowl games. This was what it was 30 years ago.

Saying that, would the Vols get a bowl game if there were only 25 bowls available? I'd say yes.

Maybe Volnation could field a team to help fill the spots. We've got some experts in the ff.

Victim of their own success. As long as people pay they will keep hyping. I'm at saturation point myself. College ball is now a professional money making venture and its eating itself alive. Getting old.

Well look there are way to many 'classic' tournaments in basketball with very low attendance but yet they keep playing them every year

For those of you who think there are too many college football bowl games... Let me ask you a few questions: Are there too many beautiful women? Are there too many great tasting beers? Are there too many golf courses? Are there too many Vegas casinos? Are there too many vacation days?... I think not.

I agree, but having 5-7 teams in bowl games just feels wrong.
