This year, I've got a 7-5 Miami team playing a 4-8 Virginia Tech team in the Meineke Bowl. There is all sorts of wrong with that. a 4-8 VT (who went 1-7 in ACC play). 2 ACC teams playing each other. Yep, that's a fail. Hopefully this is impoved upon next year.

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
Ya that's pretty bad. I've seen 5-7 teams make it but 4-8 is bad. Especially two acc teams against each other. I don't know how thats possible -
Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
This system has been broken for a while. This needs to be fixed as it is the equivalent of poor seeding in any sports tournamentComment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
The Big East bowls are all messed up too. Constantly getting middle of the road MAC and Sun Belt teams taking up the Gator Bowl bid. Notre Dame is constantly playing in wacky bowls that they usually wouldn't even go to. The game doesn't send losing teams over 6-6's as far as I've ever noticed, so it has to go to a 5-7. The CPU doesn't play enough 1-AA games to avoid that problem though. There are pretty close to 100 in real life lately, which helps us ensure that we don't run out of 6-6 teams, but schedules are beyond messed up, so that's partly what's causing some bad bowl matchups.Comment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
In an OD the other day my 10-2 WKU team played a 5-6 FSU team.
That goes with the other thing that needs to be fixed when adjusting teams schedules the game should still make sure all teams have 12 games.Comment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
in my OD, my friend went to the nat. title game. he didnt play in the SEC title game. i beat him in head to head, i made it to the SEC title game, won it. because he won the rest of his games, he was #2 in the BCS, i was #3, he went & won the nat. title! I was sooo pissed off!!Comment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
Yeah all these are really bad. But I have had Florida(which starts out as the number 1 team) go underfeated and not make it to the MNC game. Not as bad but still a clear sign this is broken.You looking at the Chair MAN!
Number may not tell the whole story ,but they never lie either.Comment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
some of these are really amazing and it's weird because i've never experienced anything like it. I haven't ever made a bowl without a winning record and never played a team who didn't have one. Also never really seen a team in the NC who didn't deserve to be there.Comment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
ive had V-Tech and G-Tech in the NC game, but G-Tech never played in the ACC champ game. both went 10-1, but somehow G-Tech jumped whoever lost the ACC champ game to go. ive also seen boise st alot, houston, and alot of 10-2 teams when there were a few 11-1 teams.Comment

Re: The bowl system needs some serious work
EA should give us the option for a playoff. If I remember correctly, some of the NCAA games on the ps1 offered us an option for a post season playoff (NCAA 01?)Comment
