tis the (bowl) season

Tonight begins the college bowl season. The bowl is the San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. Let's call it the Poinsettia bowl for short. Utah plays Navy at 8:00 pm CST.
Like ESPN I’ve also created a college football tournament. Mine is a little different. It is 32 teams instead of 16. ESPN probably has the right amount of teams if a tournament was to happen, but I think 32 teams makes for a much more fun tournament. Even if it wouldn't be possible. I also added a second tournament. I gave the tournament simple names 'Big 32' and 'Small 32'. I felt that if there were two tournaments that teams that played well, but did not make the top 32 could also play. It like the college basketball tournament allows for a wide variety of teams, plus a second tournament like basketball for teams that had a good season, but were not good enough for the top 32. Plus the 64 team 2 tournament format is the same amount as the current 32 bowl game 64 teams format. I think this is important to note because if college football does ever go to a tournament it would have to appeal to sponsors and such. Also to note is that there is a conference champion in each tournament. This idea is also taken from college ball. The teams our ranked based on the AP poll and my own understanding of the game.
