Guest AstroBull Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Thought a couple of these were niceDirectional BowlAside from serving as early-season fodder for every powerhouse program looking to catch a breather, what do players at the nation's various directional schools have to look forward to each season? Sure, an occasional Northern Illinois or North Texas makes it to a bowl, but no such rewards exist for the bulk -- the East Carolinas and Central Michigans. Our solution? Set up a BCS-style ranking system and let the top two teams, who don't otherwise qualify for a bowl, play it out in East St. Louis. This year's Directional Bowl: Eastern Michigan vs. South FloridaRelegation BowlSince it worked so well with Keira Knightley, we're looking to England for a spot of inspiration. Famed teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea annually slug it out for top honors in the English Premier League, but the action is almost as exciting on the other end of the table, where less illustrious clubs like West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace compete furiously through the end of the season to avoid demotion. Brilliant. So how about having the worst team in Division I play the I-AA champion for a spot in the big time? You wouldn't set your TiVo for a battle pitting Central Florida against Montana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
