I gotta say there were some pretty crappy games to watch today. Wasn't sure what to expect before the day started. Nothing stands out. One word describes it for me. Boring.

It may be time for a playoff system. Something to keep my interest. I can't find anything exciting about any of the games I see listed for tomorrow.

From a wagering stand point, who really cares what the matchups are. From a purely viewing perspective looking to get excited about matchups. Naaa....these games didn't excite me. This might be the first year I haven't been that excited.

I am looking forward to OU/FLA.

Would be nice to have a ten team playoff.

As someone who decided to stop wagering. With the exception of the Clemson game, these games sucked.

I just want to see a close game where the outcome is in doubt.

I couldn't care less if they're boring, I just want the action. I couldn't care less if there's a playoff system or not, just put the little miscreants on the field. Did OK yesterday, I'm happy.

I've watched maybe 10 minutes total of all the bowl games so far this year. Extremely boring matchups and virtually no excitement. Let's hope the NFL comes through - I need some entertainment! As for my wallet, I'm doing pretty well on sides, terrible on totals.

I loved the last minute of the Penn State USC game. When Deon Butler caught his 4th pass with less than a minute to go I won over $500. Had D. Butler O3.5 with one book & an U4 push with another. Best game for me in 2 months.

going at about 11-13 right now. Been treading lightly the entre time. Made medium play on LSU and stole that one. then unloaded the dump truck on USC. with that kinda lottery win, I could honestly stop wagering and just toss a few bones FLA/OU just for action.

As far as rate of games? Orange Bowl was atrocious, RoseBowl was the best of all, OleMiss/TT has the makings of a memorable one. As for the rest? ....eh.

BTW..anyone think that in the remaining BCS bowls, (Sugar, Fiesta & Championship) that one team can dominate another team the way USC handled Penn State?

Great thread, thought of starting one like this myself. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING is an understatement. The thing is this could all be fixed with a playoff then this becomes awesome but instead we are stuck watching meaningless games, aka exhibition football is all it is.
