There are a total of 39 different bowls....the vast majority for teams with marginal win records. I think when there were just six to eight bowls...people had more interest. Did anyone really care about last year’s Las Vegas Bowl (Houston vs San Diego State)?

Number have bowls have doubled over the past 20 years thanks to ESPN writing the checks.
Money is running out though.

I agree with you. Way too many bowls and they aren’t cheap either.

Most of the bowl games are for strictly for entertainment value as to serve as the last chance to get the football fix before the only thing left is the NFL playoffs.
