If I Was King of Sports Blog #1

If I was King of Sports, there would be a college football bowl game in every state.  I wouldn't add more NCAA division I-FBS games, but I would fill them with divisions I-FCS, II, and III teams who were not chosen for their respective playoffs.  The reason I would do this is to reward college football fans all over the nation with a bowl game.  Plus, I can reward more teams with good seasons with a bowl game.

Again: I would keep the Division I-FBS bowls the way they are and won't write them down.  The top team in each conference would get a bid.  For the first year, I would make it strictly that.  All other years, I would take the top team in the conference who is bowl eligible by I-FBS standards.  If there are no other teams, I would take an at-large team.  I will present a model, though it wouldn't have to be strictly this model. I also understand that some teams play unofficial bowl games already, but honestly, I would ignore all those and allow them to play a 2nd bowl game.
