	I thought it was just the Meineke Bowl.

	what a sorry state for the NCAA to have so many meaningless bowl games. Whoop de doo, we finished 7-5 and 4th in our conference and get to go to a bowl game!

	honest question: what happened to the peach bowl? did some corporate name take it over?

	Librería:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 06:33 GMT	12 points
	Peach Bowl ---> Chick-Fil-A... But as an LSU fan, a team that goes there pretty often, I'll call it the Peach Bowl forever. Hell, we're going this year and I keep calling it the Peach Bowl. As a minor college football fan who only keeps up with LSU, I feel satisfied having gotten all the BCS bowls, the new years day bowls, the SEC tie-in bowls, and the bowls in Louisiana.

	i tried several permutations of the words BCS, National, and Championship but I guess I didn't try the correct one. I think BCS National Championship should count

	Librería:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 11:52 GMT	7 points
	Yeah, it definitely should. I fiddled with that game for a long time too, but I eventually got it (I was desperate!).

	kcap1:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 12:17 GMT	10 points
	Wow, only 27% got my school's bowl this year (Poinsettia Bowl). I guess that's what going 11-2 in a non-BCS conference will do to you. I am proud that I got 14 right, pretty good for a girl...

	Playoff>BCS Bowl system. You can be an unranked division two school and be in a bowl. Not taking away from them, but you never really find the best team. Only the two that are highest ranked that play eachother.

	Kinda disappointed Manute Bol wasn't a bonus answer.

	To Mark: Bowl games make money. Plain and simple.

	Bottom line: There are too many damn bowls. And we need a playoff system badly. I know it'll never happen but it's nice to dream. Good quiz BTW.

	I sent this idea in a month ago! Seriously though, great quiz Ben. I got 26, and most of the ones I missed were pretty minor. I guess I should have gotten the Armed Forces bowl, but otherwise I'm pretty happy.

	It is amazing to me how much the bowl names have changed since I was a kid. Long gone are the Peach, Aloha, and Tangerine, among others. Capitalism over setimentalism. Heavy sigh.

	Ben:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 15:03 GMT	4 points
	It is actually Chick-Fil-A http://chick-fil-a.com

	What about the tidy bowl

	okenter:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 15:24 GMT	5 points
	Is the insight bowl played between Philosophy schools?

	radiosilence:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 15:30 GMT	6 points
	My alma mater (Kansas) is in the Insight Bowl this year. Our philosophy is to spend the endowment on sports. I think our Athletic Director has more power than the Chancellor.

	I love college football-I'm glad I didn't have to remember the sponsor for the games, just the bowl itself. Perfect score!!

	Chiaprofessor:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 17:09 GMT	2 points
	I still think the PapaJohns.com bowl should be called the Pizza Bowl, and played in Papa Johns stadium in Louisville.

	Tim95:	Dec 11th, 2008 at 19:02 GMT	3 points
	I missed every bowl that was named after a corporate sponsor. And got most of the rest.

	"I sent this idea in a month ago! Seriously though, great quiz Ben. I got 26, and most of the ones I missed were pretty minor. I guess I should have gotten the Armed Forces bowl, but otherwise I'm pretty happy." Bah, you got more than I did. 21, but I should have gotten a lot more. I didn't realize so many were named after cities and/or states. And to forget about the Orange Bowl, guess that pretty much states my excitement over seeing VA Tech vs. Cincinnati. Good luck to my Dawgs in the Cap One Bowl!!

	You know how when you repeat a word over and over again it loses all meaning? That's how the word "bowl" is to me now.

	Rebekah:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 01:47 GMT	3 points
	I didnt know the Peach bowl was renamed either! I hate when corporate sponsors take that stuff over...

	beckleyman:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 15:50 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, they changed the name of the Peach Bowl about 3 years ago. Now, they don't show the dropping of the giant peach during the game anymore. Citrus is gone too, think Capital One got that one.

	Most of these don't make sense.

	nice idea bad execution..i tried lots of things for the BCS championship and chik-fil-a peach bowl and insight bowl and armed services bowl and got none of them just quit out of frustration

	Not only is your answer to the BCS National Championship game wrong, you didn't accept the correct answer. See http://www.tournamentofroses.com/bcs/

	As others have said, "BCS National Championship," should count. By the way, what college doesn't love going to the EagleBank Bowl! They should kill half of these, but $ talks.

	zlb33:	May 20th, 2010 at 20:48 GMT	1 point
	the citrus bowl is the name of the stadium they play the capital one bowl and champs sports bowl in. I hate the gmac and international bowl. Why do they play in the middle of the bcs bowls?

	buckaroo:	Jul 30th, 2010 at 04:34 GMT	1 point
	bring back the peach and the citrus this is BS.

	i missed the st petersburg bowl, then i felt pretty happy cause the st petersburg bowl is probably the worst in all of them.

	sconroy93:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 16:10 GMT	2 points
	this is how they determine bowl games... they have every team thats eligible for a bowl on a dart board, then a monkey throws a dart and whatever teams he hits, they play each other. but all joking aside, i really dont like the system. i would love to see a playoff system instead. theres just way too many bowl games. playing in a bowl used to be a huge honor, now all you have to do is win half of your games and your in a bowl.

	I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about all of the bowl games. Its not like its bad for the sport having average teams compete in bowls. Its not really that different, except for the fact that those teams get to play in December, because the BCS Bowls and some of the major ones have taken over the role of what used to be the only bowls. Now, instead of it being a huge honor to be in a bowl, it's a huge honor to be in a BCS Bowl (Unless all you did to get there was win the Big East). I'm really not sure why letting average teams compete in bowls nobody cares about outside the fans of those teams is bad for the sport, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

	It should accept National Championship and not just BCS Championship
