Martin - too many bowls?
Now we're getting somewhere.
Apparently there is growing support among the people who count (obviously not you and me) to increase the difficulty of becoming bowl eligible by requiring teams to have seven victories, or a winning record, when the new BCS cycle begins in 2014.
The seven-win requirement means a handful of bowls likely would be discontinued because there would not be enough eligible teams to fill all of the current 70 berths. I doubt we'll lose a lot of sleep over that one.
In the past two years alone, 27 teams with 6-6 records were needed to fill all the bowl slots, meaning nearly 20 percent of the bowl field didn't have a winning record.
This past year 13 of the 70 bowl teams did not have more than six wins. It was 14 in 2010 and single digits the previous four years when there were two or four less bowls.For the full story, subscribe to the The Ouachita Citizen's NEW E-Edition! |
