It depends on what you mean by the bowl being "in a mess". My contention is that the bowl is flailing because of the lack of marquee matchups in recent years.

All I will say is that this is not correct, in the grand scheme of things. I will have to wait to elaborate on why.

I do agree though that the marquee games need to improve and Somerset is a good start. Hopefully the other will be a home run as well. While that is a reason it is losing luster, don't confuse it with why the Bowl is endangered. Like I said, I will let it play out and we will see what happens before I go any further with anything.

But, I think good discussion has come out of most of this thread. And I wish the committee was a little more transparent.
