The only good thing about a bowl that is not the NCG, is the added practice time it allows. Hopefully OSU uses it to get Vonn Bell ready to start the bowl game.

Yeah even though we would have a couple ranked teams, but anyways it'll be interesting to see who BG gets in the bowl. They're 7 spots outside of being ranked and having beaten up NIU may garner a pretty good matchup but who knows

I have no idea if they "mean" anything but they produce some significant revenue and they are entertaining in their match ups and pageantry. I love that and don't need anything else form the sport.

A true play-off system would mean so much more. But I get the attraction for smaller programs that don't go bowling that often.
