Why bother calling them "bowl games" if teams are going to do home and away

games? If they are going to do home and away games, then how likely will it end up becoming a home-home series? At least I would think most (maybe all) ADs of the "away" team would like the opportunity to play the "home" team in their stadium and benefit from all the revenue generated from that game. Plus, what is to prevent a team from end up playing 2 home games or away games in back-to-back seasons? I mean the whole idea of bowl games is the opportunity for 2 teams to play a game in a neutral site. Now you are talking about moving the bowl games to the beginning of the season AND playing some of those games in a team's stadium too. It seems like you have kind of defeated the whole purpose of the bowl game.
