Players such as LSU RB Leonard Fournette choosing to skip their bowl games has become a hot topic in the college football world, and now Alabama coach Nick Saban has offered his thoughts on the issue.
Saban spoke to ESPN on the matter, and said he understood it, pointing to the creation of the College Football Playoff lessening the importance of the other bowl games:
“We kind of created this trend,” Saban said Wednesday. “I said as soon as we had a playoff, we were going to minimize the importance of all the other bowl games. I’m not saying whether it’s good or bad, it kind of is what it is.
“I don’t know where all this is going, but I don’t think it’s going to change. Is it good? Probably not. But you can’t blame the kids. It’s a product of what we created.”

Wow, CNS is right. Money and the longer seasons have all added up to if I ain't playing for a NC then get out of dodge. I personally don't believe with all the adding of more bowl games every year you will eventually see bowl game lose all their luster. right, now I don't care about seeing any games we are not playing in myself. RTR!

A lot of luster goes when 5-7 teams are playing. Who wants to reward a losing season?
