Two Down...Thirty Two to go

The Bowl season is upon us again. It began in earnest today with four games. If you do the math from the headline above there are 34 bowl games this season. And that's way too many. Teams like Notre Dame are playing in a bowl with a six and six record. They just don't belong. They were drilled by mediocre teams all season long. And what's just as bad is they aren't the only 6-6 team playing in the post season.

The NCAA needs to change it's rules and require a team to have a winning record in order to play in a bowl. But, the realities are that's not likely to change as long as there is money to be made from television (namely ABC/ESPN) and fans willing to buy tickets to yet another game.
