The bowl system around which the college football postseason has been built for decades has encountered a bit of a problem this year.
It’s having trouble finding teams that want to participate.
College teams that have declined playing in a post-season:
- Notre Dame (10-2)
- Iowa State (8-4)
- Kansas State (6-6)
- Florida State (5-7)
- Auburn (5-7)
- UCF (5-7)
- Baylor (5-7)
- Kansas (5-7)
- Rutgers (5-7)
- Temple (5-7)
College bowls were supposed to be a reward for teams and fan, then everyone wanted one and not enough people wants participate in the consolation prize, not even some 5-7 losers and even if it comes with a $500,000 fine.
