Requirements for teams that go 5-7 and make bowls?

[Doc Holliday]

Never mind, I figured it out.

One thing people keep forgetting: If there are any 6-6 teams available, a 5-7 team cannot be invited (talking to you, Nebraska fans ... you're in line behind Tulsa, UConn, Utah State, Indiana, Nevada and maybe Georgia State and South Alabama, both 5-6 headed into games this weekend.

Let's just go all the way with this and create enough bowls so that every team can go. Kansas versus North Texas, New Year's Morning at 5 a.m. from Enid, Oklahoma on Fox Sports 2 in the Eskimo Joe's Somebody's Gotta Win Bowl.

If college football bowl games were wrestling matches, that would be a bra and panties match between Mark Mangino and Charlie Weis.

The mental image that conjures up is very disturbing.

Add in Turner Gill's buyout and the three former KU coaches could have one hell of a party in Las Vegas.

Between Weis and Mangino the San Andreas Fault would be kicked off and the entire California coast set adrift somewhere around Guam.

FWIW, I recall several years ago folks thinking that the idea of allowing 6-6 teams to go to bowls was just plain embarrassing for the sport, and now they're topping it by allowing 5-7 teams in. I mean, seriously, how do you even pretend a bowl birth still means anything after crossing that line?

At some point college football might as well just release a formal statement admitting that W/L records no longer matter and that these bowls are only about squeezing a few more dollars out of gullible America.

Brain bleach needed over here!

Looking at the projections, about the only game other than the playoff worth a damn is a Rose Bowl with Stanford and Ohio State. Looks like a lot of teams will be staying home for their bowl games, Arizona, Arizona State, New Mexico, Navy, South Florida, Boise State..
And yet I'm sure the athletic departments will find ways to spend all of their bowl money because they want to give players a great bowl experience.

That's too bad. Last year there were some decent matchups in the non-playoff bunch.
PS: If Iowa wins, how does Ohio State get the Rose instead of Michigan St., who beat them -- in Columbus, lest we forget.

The CFP folks rank everyone and make the New Years Six assignments from what I recall. Figure the loser of the B10 goes to Florida.

You're probably joking, but I would watch that game if it was on with no other football on.

This is the first time I've advocated for trigger warnings.

Not even Vince Russo would book that.

Turner is a man of God. He would not be caught cavorting with such riff raff. He even told me last year that God blocked the field goal that sealed an upset and sent Liberty to the FCS playoffs.

Two fat guys and a holy roller in Las Vegas with millions in disposal income.

That has a TBS pilot begging to be taped.

Yeah... KU vs. anyone is quality entertainment in its own way but put some stakes on it and you really have something. This would be a game to decide what is the single worst team in the country. I'd definitely watch that.

Charlie Weis somehow wins $500 on a craps table on Fremont Street while screaming "dice are ice!" the whole time, betting the don't pass line like the ****ing asshole he is. Turner yells, "To God be the glory!" every time. Huzzah.
