Oh, I didn't realize that you were going to have these games play out to see who wins. I guess the thread got side-tracked(no help from me) but that should be cool to see what happens.

EDIT: One quick thing though about the 7-5 and small conference schools getting into bowls. While you're probably right about no one caring about the games outside of the schools, it's already in place right now and is effective. It's a nice reward for the players for not being horrible and it makes money for the schools and for the area that the games are held. They'd also probably get comparable viewership that they already do.

Oh, almost forgot this one, the individual bowls would actually have better matchups than they currently do since half the bowls would be used for the tournament. So while the papajohns.com bowl might usually have the #5 Big East team against the #4 C-USA, this year it would be something like Pittsburgh or West Virginia vs. Rice(9-3). That would actually be a pretty good game.
