The NY6 Bowls are great. But here’s what they need to do with the rest of them:
1. Cut the number of remaining bowls in half (from 33 to 17).
2. Each of the remaining bowls select four teams on the Sunday after conference championships.
3. Each bowl holds a four-team playoff, with the 34 play-in games held at the campus sites of the higher-ranked teams the following weekend. The winners play each other in the actual bowl game after Christmas.
This would result in only 24 bowl games (six NY6 bowls, the NCG and seventeen other bowls). But the total number of games–including the play-in games–would increase from 40 to 58. And the remaining bowl games would, theoretically, garner more interest and attendance if all the participating teams enter with a little more momentum.
