CFP aside, Bowl-eligible Teams Selections

[TXHCHawk]

Just noticed teams, like UNLV, have been written about being bowl-eligible, given they already achieved 6 wins. Looking at 13 of 18 B1G teams are not there yet. CFP aside, how does bowl selection sentiment reconcile that in the current P2 environment?

Potentially, bowls could be leaving a lot of money on the table? P2 bowl-eligible schools, with fewer wins than, for example, UNLV may be overlooked? Someone help me figure this out. TIA.

There will be 11 playoff games. That’s a lot of meaningful football to take in. That’s more games than bowl games I ever watch.

The only non playoff opponent that will draw any of my interest is Colorado and then who will actually play?

Today's college football is playoffs or nothing. That said, I will continue to watch bowl games with some intriguing pairings...especially Big 10 teams.
