This year, three 5-7 teams found themselves in a bowl game after a record number of bowl berths were not filled. Plenty more teams found themselves at home with that very same record. Is the NCAA using the most fair method to pick 5-7 teams?
After the conclusion of Monday's national championship game, a total of 41 bowl games were played, the most ever contested. 80 teams (62.5 percent of the FBS) would find themselves in a bowl.
Despite all the hype of giving more teams a chance, filling the number of bowls proved more troublesome than the NCAA originally thought.
