I go to a Big Ten school and I can't more heartily disagree. Bowls are an excuse to overpromote end-of-season antics and are rarely enjoyed by the teams' true fans (i.e. the students). Moreover, seasons which end during the third week of November leave three weeks before end-of-semester. And postseason football is one of sports' best joys. Also, I don't much enjoy one or two losses to be season ending.

So your argument boils down to you not liking bowls? One or two losses aren't season ending, LSU twice won with one or two losses. If there was a playoff we'd lose the mad scramble for those two spots at the end of the season. With a playoff you'd have teams competing for...a chance to play in the quarter final.
