I'm sure Fran does. It's his job to. But that's really a silly argument. I like the bowls, or at least I used to when the teams playing in them were the same as the teams playing during the regular season. With all the opt outs, I just don't care like I used to. It used to be fun seeing my favorite players in a last hurrah in a SU uniform. Now that game is the last regular season game unless we're good enough to make the playoff at some point. I'll still watch, but a win or loss will have no impact on my opinion of the sucess of the team because I know some of the best players from one or both teams won't be playing.

What were the ratings for the non-playoff bowls? I've never seen those numbers. I know most of them have pretty small in person crowds.

A better indicator will be how much time the media spends talking about them. They'll get a quick highlignt shown on sportcenter, but the bulk of the time will be spent talking about the playoff matchups. It's like NCAA tourney talk versus NIT talk.
