Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 3680062, member: 60"] I can't do the exercise, but what would the bowl games look like if we went back to non-playoff/non-BCS bowl games? Believe me, that's not what I want, but FSU finished in the top 5 like 14 years in a row. Even if they were cheating, Miami was a juggernaut in the 80s/early 90s. Nebraska, etc. It's not like these top teams haven't been around, but was the old bowl setup better at masking some of the repetitiveness? I get it wasn't as bad as it is now, but is it definitely just the haves vs the have nots or is the system just making it easier to keep ending up with the same teams? Bama, OSU and Clemson always start out top ranked in the polls. So even if they have a loss, they are still in the hunt to get into the playoffs (or in the case of this year, only play 6 games or whatever OSU played in the reg season). [/QUOTE]
