"Smart said that the powers that be need to do a better job of figuring out what they want bowl game season to be since there will still be bowl games that teams decide are not worth playing if they're not competing for the national title. To that end, he hopes that they can fix it.
"People need to see what happened tonight, and they need to fix it… It's really unfortunate for the guys on that (Florida State) sideline who had to play in that game when they didn't have their full arsenal," Smart said."
Bowl games have never meant much of anything. Getting to a bowl game was the goal, for the money it gives to the schools and the "notoriety" to the program. It's one of the reasons they are rarely a good game to watch. Some players have always not played…whether they were on the field or not. They essentially are something to make the season last longer for football fans. I mean how long will it have been since any of the playoff teams have played a game? A month?
