    Pop Tart Bowl should become the National Championship game

    I think they should have fewer bowl and then have a televised selection show/ draft where rotating top bowls get to pick their teams live on air.

    1. Get rid of Conference Championships for more CFP and bowl game scheduling flexibility
    2. Make CFP Quarterfinals home games
    3. Rotate 2 NY6 Bowl Games annually to be CFP Semifinals games
    4. Tier 3 bowl games (Holiday, Sun, etc.) becomes play-ins for tier 2 Bowl games (Pop-Tarts, Citrus)
    5. Tier 2 bowl games becomes play-ins for non-CFP NY6 Bowl Games
    6. CFP First Round Losers has auto-bid to tier 2 Bowl games
    7. CFP Quarterfinals Losers has auto-bid to non-CFP NY6 Bowl Games
    Prestige is brought back to stand alone NY6 Bowl Games, Bowl games become relevant to program success, more CFP home games, teams have a second chance at meaningful post-season glory.

    I think a bowl tournament could be fun. It wouldn't be part of the CFP as the natty would only be possible for the 12 best teams, but having a bowl tournament with an elimination bracket allows for teams that were snubbed from the CFP to try and prove a point. Winning or making a deep run in the bowl battle could increase team prestige and make the conmittee more likely to select that team next year.

    The upcoming revenue sharing model could also impact the bowl season, specifically in terms of opt outs. If things go the way I keep hearing people theorize, revenue sharing could turn collegiate sports into collective bargaining units, and part of that collective bargain agreement could include a requirement to play in your postseason.

    When I played, we couldn't WAIT to see what free stuff and $$$ we'd get from the hosting bowl. It. Was a huge deal. The better the bowl, the better the swag and such. But, now even that part is diminished to an extent. But, we were mostly broke kids appreciating anything we got on top of the scholly.
    I also think they should gonback to a 1 year redshirt year for transfers. I thought it was lifted originally for covid, but it never went back. It must suck to not be able to build programs anymore as coaches. Now they are just putting together rosters year to year. This is especially in basketball.

  • @BrooksKurtz
    @BrooksKurtz 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    For clause 5, maybe have the teams play a week before week 0 and not have it effect their record. This would ready the teams for the regular season. For example if lsu plays Baylor 2 weeks before they play Clemson they would be prepared and make the game more interesting to watch for a fan.

    As a JMU fan, I really like some of these ideas... especially after we lost Cignetti to Indiana a couple weeks before our first bowl game ever, and the preceded to lose it (also reminder Cig still has yet to coach a bowl game). The NIT championship would be fun in my opinion, but only if they reserve it for G5 teams. Now you may say, oh what's the point, we might as well make another division. That's basically already what we have. G5 schools cannot consistently compete against P4 schools enough to warrant both G5 and P4 inclusion. If JMU could go into the playoffs and face a slate of teams like Tulane, Liberty, UNLV, USF, etc., over the course of multiple rounds, I, and I think many other G5 fans, would love that.

  • @jkh2180
    @jkh2180 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    One thing they could do is remove conference affiliations from bowls and then do a live selection show with representatives from all of the available bowls selecting two teams from out of all of the available bowl eligible teams. The order bowls would select would be based on bowl payout. So bowls like the Alamo Bowl and the Citrus Bowl that have 8+ million dollar payouts would go first. That would lead to a lot of intrigue I think. It would be like selection Sunday for college basketball. Think of it this year. Imagine Alamo Bowl on the clock first up. You have the three 3 loss SEC teams on the board all claiming they should be in the playoff. Do they pick two to play each other? Or maybe no, maybe they take a Miami or shock with a different matchup. Maybe bowl game opts to take two red hot teams over teams with better records. Nobody knows where they're going. Fans would get into it.

    1. Placing these players under contract would go a long way to eliminating most of the problems in college football.
    2. College football has portal windows in December and April. Eliminate the December window.
    3. Have fewer bowl games.

  • @gregpugh5354

    I think some of the coaches issues just need to be solved by binding coaches and universities to not making personnel moves until after the bowl game. I still don’t see the immediate need for a coach to leave for a job in week 11/12 or for a bowl eligible but underperforming coach to not be retained through that bowl game.

    Each non-playoff bowl game should be between the winners of two play-in games. The play-in games could be played two weeks after conference championships, with the winners then playing in the bowl championship game close to New Years.

  • @jonathanbassett3656
    @jonathanbassett3656 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Sports itself just needs to start a fanstasy like pay system where you get paid how you play per game and season instead of these "contracts" that players lose motivation once they're paid. Either that or each contract needs to be able to take back what was paid when it's clear the player was only greedy

  • @sctexan5392
    @sctexan5392 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Maybe someone can confirm or correct this: it's my understanding that most, if not all bowl games, make money for the community. That's a good thing. I used to watch them all but opting out has ruined them. While the top tier players will likely never return to the games, maybe a good sizeable payout for each member of the winners of the game would entice some to play.

  • @Leeroy4086T
    @Leeroy4086T 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    They have to figure out the transfer portal first. Too many players are forced to enter the transfer portal to ensure they can transfer before the spring semester and have a spot on the roster. Quite unfair for the players and the teams that made it to the playoffs.

    • @pppaulllllallennnnnnn

    I would like if they just completely separated the bowls from the playoff. Make the playoffs all at the higher seeds home stadium until the natty where it rotates between the traditional ny6 bowl games like normal but give those teams that missed out the opportunity to play in historic bowl games.

    Well something I think they did backwards was making the 1st round playoff games just playoff games but making the 2nd round the new years 6 bowl games.
    If anything they should make the first round playoff games the December bowls no one watches anyway then the 2nd round playoff games are just playoff games. I think the teams that just got a bowl instead of a playoff spot would take it more serious if they was playing in the sugar bowl or the orange bowl than the pop tart bowl or the dukes mayo bowl

  • @georgefmaris
    @georgefmaris 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    There's way too many bowl games to begin with. If anything, keep the 12-team Playoff with the 6 top bowl games (Rose, Sugar, etc). Then have the next highest 12 teams play in a NIT style tournament being played in a 11-bowl game schedule. Those that play in a NIT style tournament get rewarded with NIL money. Then get rid of the bowl games that are not part of either the Playoff or NIT.

  • @jkh2180
    @jkh2180 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    How about dropping all conference affiliations to bowls? They could do that and then do a live CBB Selection Sunday type of show where representatives from every Bowl could select a matchup from the entire pool of bowl eligible teams. They could pick in order of Bowl payout from highest to lowest.
    Highest non-CFP Bowl payouts this year according to the online sources I could find...
    1) Alamo Bowl 8.25 Mill
    2) Citrus Bowl 8.22 Mill
    3) Holiday Bowl 6.53 Mill
    4) Reliaquest Bowl 6.4 Mill
    5) Texas Bowl 6.4 Mill
    6) Cheez-it Bowl 6.07 Mill
    7) Pop Tarts Bowl 6.07 Mill
    8) Music City Bowl 5.7 Mill
    9) Gator Bowl 5.35 Mill
    10) Mayo Bowl 4.78 Mill
    Imagine it this year. Alamo Bowl selecting the first matchup. You have three 3 loss SEC teams saying they should be in the CFP... does the Alamo Bowl select two and see who proves the talk? Or maybe they go off script of the rankings and select something like Miami vs Colorado to get Cam vs Shedeur. It would get people talking about bowls again.

  • @luiolitz
    @luiolitz 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'm definitely into ideas 1-4 and 7 here. Those seem obvious. 6 - not sure. And I don't think I'm into 5. I don't think starting the season really counts as a 'bowl' at that point; it's just a non-conference game. Doesn't do it for me because I think bowls are about putting a bow on a season while the team who got there is still together - the last game for seniors, and (now) the last game for players entering the portal (if ideas #1-4 were implemented).

  • @jkh2180
    @jkh2180 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The best way to fix it is by ranking teams correctly so that we get the most even and exciting matchups possible.
    That is what is wrong. They use all of the incorrect things to rank teams. They use conference affiliation bias. Brand bias. Subjective "eye test". Talent rankings based on recruiting. Preconceived notions based on extremely flawed preseason and early season rankings. It's all of the wrong things.
    I'm begging the CFP committee to start ranking teams based on resume.
    It's amazing how when you rank teams based on resume you end up looking right.
    My ranking AFTER conference championship week and BEFORE the post season, look at this...
    1) Oregon (-)
    2) Georgia (-)
    3) Ohio St (dog walked #8 Tennessee)
    4) Texas (handled #16 Clemson)
    5) Alabama (-)
    6) Arizona St (-)
    7) Boise St (-)
    8) Tennessee (lost to #3 Ohio St)
    9) BYU (dog walked unranked Colorado)
    10) SMU (lost to #11 Penn St on the road)
    11) Penn St (beat #10 SMU)
    12) Notre Dame (dog walked #20 Indiana)
    13) Ole Miss (-)
    14) South Carolina (-)
    15) Syracuse (beat Washington St)
    16) Clemson (lost to #4 Texas)
    17) Iowa St (beat #18 Miami by 1 point)
    18) Miami (lost to #17 Iowa St by 1 point)
    19) Army (dog walked unranked La Tech)
    20) Indiana (lost to #12 Notre Dame)
    When you remove all bias in your rankings and rank based on the correct things (quality wins vs 10+ win teams THAT SEASON, record/quality/quantity vs bowl eligible, record/quality/quantity vs P4, use losses as deductions) it's kind of incredible how accurate the results become BECAUSE YOU FOUND THE CORRECT RANKINGS, you're basing things on actual results from the season, MERIT.
    Now if the CFP got the rankings correct like I have here... We would have had much more exciting and even bowl matchups...
    Citrus Bowl- 14 South Carolina vs 20 Indiana
    Alamo Bowl- 17 Iowa St vs unranked Colorado
    Pop Tarts Bowl- 12 Notre Dame vs 8-4 Big 12 team (Baylor/Kansas St/Texas Tech/TCU)
    Gator Bowl- 13 Ole Miss vs 18 Miami
    Reliaquest Bowl- Illinois vs Missouri
    Shock of all shocks we get better matchups up and down.

    What power does the NCAA really have over football? If I was really playing devil’s advocate, this would actually be the only argument I need. The truth is that the NCAA is so rocked by all of the last 6-7 years that they are completely flummoxed by any idea that they could even afford to take a bold step.

    Ultimately, bowls never should’ve been a thing. For whatever reason, the powers that be some one hundred years ago decided it would be better to have random bowls than a national postseason. Had we gone in the tournament direction one hundred years ago, the sport would be at a much better place.

      That will take forever. 64 team means the finalist has to play 6 games, which is a month and a half after the end of the Conference Championship game. By the time bowl season ends, it's almost February, and players can't transfer to another school as the spring semester starts in early-mid January.

      @@isaachiltyhilty6804no, it’d be terrible for the NFL’s viewership. The health can be done. If you start right after conference championship week, most teams playing get a bye and the teams play up to conference championship week in the NFL (you could make the championship the same week as the pro bowl so that something’s happening). Overall, it’d be just like the NFL for the best teams and for the 8 best teams it’s 3 more weeks (finals may be a problem though).
