Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 4049334, member: 527"] Because you can't get kids now to play in bowl games where more and more sit out each year to focus on their "Draft Status". Good luck getting kids that have just been eliminated from the playoff to want to play another game that is totally meaningless. Not to mention what fans from these schools will travel to a neutral site bowl game after watching their school's hopes for a championship just end a week or two earlier. Especially if their team just had a road game in Rd 1 of the playoff and a chunk of their fans just traveled to watch that. Now you expect those fans to travel again for a meaningless bowl game? It makes zero sense on any level. And from a TV draw people just watched Michigan lose in Rd 1 of the playoff, now let's try to get people to watch Michigan vs Baylor in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Come on, this would be the worst idea ever. [/QUOTE]
