Cloudy Bowl Situation Needs to Be Cleared Up
It is Jan. 1 and 2, 1995, and the five major bowls are touting “Final Four” candidates. Bowl hysteria is at an all-time high.
Jan. 14-15: The first Final Four weekend. On Saturday, Penn State, Nebraska, Alabama and Florida State clash in the two most-watched college football games in history. The next day, Miami-Pittsburgh and Dallas-San Francisco in the NFL conference championship games round out the greatest sports weekend of the year.
Sunday, Jan. 22: The first college national championship in Pasadena.
Sunday, Jan. 29: The Super Bowl in Miami.
If only it were true.

To choose Notre Dame (6-4-1) for the Fiesta Bowl and USC (7-3-1) for the Cotton Bowl over Kansas State (9-2, with losses only to Nebraska and Colorado) is a travesty and proof that bowl committees are more interested in a team’s name publicity than its ability.
