bowls are in. People have suggested moving them to the beginning of the season. Maybe that's a good idea, but part of the whole bowl enjoyment for a lot of people is getting out of the cold weather and heading to a nice warm city. So, moving the bowl games to late August is not the answer - unless you like Miami in August. But what about Boston in August? Portland, Maine? I wonder if any of these places are thinking of making a power move on the flailing bowl system. We already have a couple of semi exciting season openers - they just aren't called bowl games. Putting together a full flight of bowl games in northern cities might work great. And players couldn't opt out, either, as it will be the first game of the season.
