The NCAA approved a total of 31 Bowl Games for the upcoming season. Four of them will be new ones, led of course by the brand new BCS Championship Game. The other three new Bowl Games are the the International Bowl, which will be held in Toronto, Canada (making it I believe the first college bowl game ever to be held outside of the U.S.), the Birmingham Bowl and the New Mexico Bowl. A fifth new game, the Houston Bowl, may be approved in June.

31, maybe 32 Bowl Games... is that too many?

I think it is too many games. That means that there has to be 62 teams with winning records. What happens if there arent that many teams??

Way too many! Plus, most people only watch the Rose Bowl.

Gotta disagree with you on this one, Marc. I don't have the exact numbers on me, but I'm pretty sure at least all four BCS bowls were top 10 in the Neilsen ratings for their given week. I know a lot of people tune out of the North Texas - UAB style match-ups, but traditionally there are a lot of good games in the so-called "lesser" bowls.

Agreed! But they make money so until that stops the Bowl Games will continue to roll in...
