The pre-BCS (a.k.a. "mythical NC" poll era) is the last time bowl games played any role in deciding the champ, and it was often disputed with multiple claims to the title. It was before my time, but everything I've read about it indicates that it was a terribly flawed system.

And more to the point, CFB *exploded in popularity* after it switched from "mythical NC" polls to the BCS system (essentially, a 2-team playoff seeded by pollsters and to a lesser extent computers).

But while the bowls have only been exhibitions for the past 25 years, fans have still enjoyed them (as you alluded to). Perhaps they've been slightly diminished by the playoff taking teams away from the bowls, but it's negligible IMO. I'm still as interested in bowl games as I was back in the early 2000's when I first started following CFB. I enjoy the conference rivalry aspect of it, following the bowl records of each conference (the media hypes that up a lot as well).

I hope that clarifies the point I was making.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

I predicted this years ago when the playoff clamoring - Genco98 MU - 6/22 07:06:58

Only if Congress does not act - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 6/21 23:23:54

The playoff has already ruined college football - BigDave MU - 6/21 18:34:08

How?.. It was already a "playoff", just 2 teams instead of 4 - zounami MU - 6/21 18:36:38

It isn't a playoff. The 12 team tournament will be a playoff - SparkyStalcup MU - 6/21 20:50:16

Conceptually, it was a 2-team playoff that expanded to a - zounami MU - 6/21 21:44:39

BCS was completely different - BigDave MU - 6/21 19:26:47

That's nonsense. Look at the BCS Title Game opponents... - zounami MU - 6/21 19:40:05

LOL - BigDave MU - 6/21 23:06:46

If we still had the BCS it would be Alabama vs Clemson every - zounami MU - 6/22 00:36:14

It has destroyed the bowl system - Genco98 MU - 6/21 19:22:57

How?.. Bowls haven't mattered since the BCS era started... - zounami MU - 6/21 19:30:22

Try telling Mizzou fans - Genco98 MU - 6/21 20:28:23

"haven't mattered" in terms of playing a role in the NC... - zounami MU - 6/21 21:43:15

That's unrealistic... The Big Ten and SEC aren't going to... - zounami MU - 6/21 18:30:24

I don’t see the conferences blowing themselves up, but I do - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 18:38:19

Can you provide a hypothetical realignment?.. For example - zounami MU - 6/21 18:46:03

For example I could see teams like Vanderbilt, S. Carolina - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 18:53:42

"64 teams in four 16 team conferences"... The current P5 has - zounami MU - 6/21 19:01:15

Key phrase is reshuffled. Teams will be reshuffled. - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 19:02:46

Okay, so Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State will leave the - zounami MU - 6/21 19:05:27

No, no, no. 64 teams….4 conferences (Divisions) all under - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 19:08:57

When you get a chance, I'd like to see your complete 16x4 - zounami MU - 6/21 19:11:03

Since he couldn't/wouldn't provide you with any 16x4 here - hangman MU - 6/22 08:17:24

"Four unrealistic but totally awesome CFB super conferences" - zounami MU - 6/22 09:18:03

I know some of these are sooo far fetched. And, most are - hangman MU - 6/22 10:12:37

If you like to do research there are several alignment - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 19:19:10

I've seen some 16x4 realignment proposals, but none of them - zounami MU - 6/21 19:25:10

For you the scenarios may indeed be unrealistic, but to - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 19:48:29

Which scenarios are you referring to? Let's see them so we - zounami MU - 6/21 21:46:10

Thanks for explaining that to his dense brain - Genco98 MU - 6/21 20:48:50

Equal revenue sharing for 64 teams. Conference - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 18:58:54

So instead of 5 separate conferences with equal rev-sharing - zounami MU - 6/21 19:03:27

Big money and market dynamics will force this issue. - Ozland Tiger LSU - 6/21 19:10:52
