Discussion grows on potential end of college football bowl games

Concerns are rising that the traditional college football bowl games may soon become obsolete as the College Football Playoff expands to a 24-team format. Sources indicate that this change could occur as early as 2028 and aims to enhance postseason competition. Observers note a decline in bowl game participation, with teams bypassing matchups if they miss playoff berths. This shift raises questions about the future of these bowl games, prompting discussions among bowl executives about possible alternatives, such as stand-alone games prior to the season. The implications of new television contracts and changes to fall camp scheduling could further complicate this transition.
