INDIANAPOLIS (AP)?The NCAA has approved applications for 34 football bowl games for 2008, including 32 existing bowls and two new games in Washington, D.C., and St. Petersburg, Fla.
The NCAA Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee on Wednesday also turned down a request for a proposed Rocky Mountain Bowl in Salt Lake City.
The new bowl games for next season will be the Congressional Bowl in the nation?s capital and the St. Petersburg Bowl.

When over 55% of all teams get to play in a bowl game it lessens the achievement of playing in a bowl game. |

Thats why they invented the big 7 and the little 27, or is that the big two and the little eight (nine). |

Amen to that Jake............
They have a Bowl game for every household product known to man. And the NCAA , Universities, and sponsers of these Bowls are so consumed by the money .......it would be hard to reverse track and get some kind of legitimacy back to the Bowl season.
I would assign a conference Champion to a respceted Bowl(win your Conference your in )....by doing that you could eliminate alot of the irrevelant Bowls. And for all the playoff pundits, bracket in the Bowls into a single-elimination playoff ( you lose , your out ) . And the rankings , well use those possibly as a seeding format . Regardless if #1 played #2 or if #1 played #10 in the beggining........win your game and you move on. Yea there would be issues with , additional games and so on but it's done in other College sports. And foramt it accordingly, but it starts with eliminating these B.S. Bowls............
