Tis the season to be bowly...or not

Today marks the start of the college football bowl game season and it will carry on for 23 more days after this leading up to BCS National Championship game on January 10th when Auburn and Oregon face off for the most coveted title in college football. Throughout this "bowl season" there will be 35 games most of which people could careless about. This year there were 73 eligible bowl eligible teams for 70 spots. In order to become bowl eligible the team must have a winning record even if it is only by one game. In order to make these bowl games more appealing for people to watch, I think the eligibility requirements should be made more difficult. The NCAA should require that teams be at least 2 games over .500 and the NCAA should also get rid of the automatic bowl bids. To me, there is absolutely no reason why an unranked UConn team should be playing in the Fiesta bowl over the number 9 ranked Michigan State. Most People in my opinion, could care less who wins the New Mexico Bowl(the bowl that kicked off this years bowl season). So in order to make this bowl season more watchable the NCAA needs to contract and reduce the amount of bowl games that there are, and they must also pick the best teams to play in these games and not just the teams that will bring in the most money.
