You cannot...and WILL NOT....ever get rid of bowl games. There is too much money involved. Schools are well compensated, TV packages pay the NCAA and the member schools (including those not in bowl games), etc.

I am all for a playoff, but it should not affect the bowl games in any way. Let's let the Big Bowls like the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, etc be set up in a playoff but allow the other bowls like the Independence Bowl, etc to serve the other schools. It is great to have so many teams win their last game. It helps in recruiting, school pride, and of course....revenue. The bowls are here to stay and if anyone thinks otherwise they are just lying to themselves.
