ellitor 34,056 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The semifinals will rotate between 6 Bowls. The Rose, Champions, and Orange Bowls are already in. The Champions Bowl will likely be the Cotton Bowl and Bring back it's much needed tradition and importance. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/andy_staples/06/22/presidential-meeting-preview-playoff-plan/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,449 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I thought the Champions Bowl was going to be a new one? I'd love to see the Cotton Bowl move back to the big stage. If not for the dreadful field it was played on before Jerry Jones' mammoth dome opened, it would have been #4 of the BCS bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 flames 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I would definitely like to see the Cotton Bowl included. I hate how its been diminished. I would like to the 6 bowls be the: Rose Sugar Orange Fiesta Cotton Chik-fil-a (but go back to peach name.) There should be a major bowl in Atlanta; best college football city in America, esp with the College football hall of fame coming. I know the Peach won't be included, but hopefully, the Champions will rotate to Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,449 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I could see the Outback Bowl getting the sixth spot, though I agree that I like the Peach Bowl (course, Chik-Fil-A isn't going to give up the naming rights, either). After that...maybe the Gator Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,991 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It will take a lot of money to get the Cotton bowl ready. They let it go, and it went quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry has the money, and hasn't he placed the Cotton Bowl in the new Cowboys Stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 flames 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah, when I mentioned the Cotton Bowl, I wasn't referring to the old stadium. I just meant the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imsoauburn 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I hope they keep the Fiesta. I loved it out there. It and Pasadena probably the 2 best places out of the 4 we currently have. IMO. I would love to play in the Rose Bowl for a Natty. So classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to play in the Rose Bowl for a Natty. So classic. Oh I'd love to play in the Granddaddy of them all. Visited California a few years back to see a friend, and got to stare at the stadium as we drove past on the way to an Angels game. The girls were all laughing at my moment of silence, but my friend's father understood. That's hallowed ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will eventually get to 6 or 8 teams with the novelty of first round on campus sites bringing in a lot of Bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collector527 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It will eventually be atleast 6 but likely 8 teams which it should be now. 8 teams would be perfect and I do not underestand why they do not just figure out how to do it now instead of tweeking it again later on.

They're testing the waters right now. They want to see what the market (fanbases) will tolerate and how much we'll pay to get tickets/lodging/meals/etc. to these playoff games. Once they rake in multi-millions on the 4 team model, you better believe they'll double it to 8 teams and rake in millions/billions more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever they decide, it will be that way for the next twelve years. That is how long this tv contract will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle10 77 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hopefully it will get worked out today. Joe Shatt said that the meeting today was previously scheduled for three hours. Somebody, (whoever somebody is) called the President's involved and told them to leave a seven hour block for today's meeting's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will probably happen is the presidents approve the 4 team playoff using the bowls as semifinalsand serve it back to the commissioners to iron out what will be the last of the 6 bowls involved, the selection committee and the parameters the selection committee have to follow.

auburntiger77 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wish the games were played before Christmas and DID not include the bowl system. Why should they make money? Willl be interesting to see who can afford to go to a semi-final game and the championship game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
