Following Georgia’s 63-3 drubbing of Florida State in the Orange Bowl – which a slew of Seminoles opted out of after they were excluded from the College Football Playoff – ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit gave a strong take regarding bowl games.

Weighing in on college football’s bowl game problem, with a growing number of players opting out of non-playoff bowl games, Herbstreit said on College GameDay that he thinks the sport should get rid of bowl games altogether if “nobody wants to play in them.”

Herbstreit believes the expanded 12-team playoff format beginning next season will cause people to care even less about other bowl games, and he brought up college basketball’s NIT for a comparison.

“I think the 12-team playoff is going to create a lot of buzz. How many games will that be, seven total? You have the quarterfinals, the semis and the national championship,” Herbstreit said. “It’s going to remind me next year of it being worse. I think we’re headed to  I’m a college basketball fan. We all get our bracket out, March Madness. Tell — me about the NIT, how’s that going for you? You know who’s even in the NIT? That’s where the bowls are going next year.

“I think you eliminate the bowls. Nobody wants to play in them, don’t play bowls. Just have the 12 teams. We’ll get excited about those, and if you want to add maybe five or six more bowls outside of that, then do five or six.”

Herbstreit added that he loves bowl games personally, but “we’re getting to a point where it’s ridiculous” as far as bowls and players opting out of them.

“We’re putting 6-6 teams in bowl games nobody cares about. If players don’t want to play in them, hell with it – don’t have bowl games anymore,” he said.

“I’m a bowl guy. I’m a bowl junkie. But I’m tired of saying ‘bowls are fun.’ If nobody wants to play in them, don’t play in them.”
