Nick Saban wants college football to focus more on the bowls.
His biggest fear is that the College Football Playoff is taking too much attention away from prestigious and historically significant games like the Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl.
With TV ratings soaring for bowl games and new games pushing the total number of bowls to 41, Saban and fellow bowl czar Bill Hancock couldn’t be more wrong.
However, Hancock’s beloved bowl system — one that was grandfathered into the Playoff structure via cronyism — should have absolutely nothing to do with the College Football Playoff.
