Oregon State looking pretty good so far

The Bowls, despite all of the tradition and lore that go with them are way too biased as to the teams they invite and should be phased out in my opinion. The Fiesta Bowl for example took Notre Dame who had a decent record but was not convincing against really tough competition. Because of the Notre Dame name the Fiesta bowl obviously would take them to generate better revenue than if they invited someone like K-State or Oregon with a similar record. I have a feeling that K-State or Oregon would play OSU a little closer than this joke of a bowl game.

I say either institute a play off system and do away with bowls, or atleast play the different play off rounds as these bowl games regardless of the team, or just go back to the old way of letting sports writers vote on the national champion.
