There are now so many bowl games that there is no signifigence to any of them. You have teams with only six wins ( hello ND ) that in the "good old days" would never have come near a bowl. When I was growing up, (longer ago than I care to admit), you had the Rose, Cotton, Sugar, and the biggest one of all was the Orange Bowl. Everything today is so diluted. Money is the root of all evil, but the greed of the current day football programs exceeds everything!
