Bryan DriskellHOST
Okay.
Trevor TrowbridgeHOST
Yeah, you're telling me that wouldn't mean more just because it's not the Idaho Potato Bowl and it says CFP on it, dude?
Bryan DriskellHOST
But see, here's the thing.
Bryan DriskellHOST
And they say, well, it's better that it – no, it isn't better because the team that would have won the CFP – what did you call it? The Russets Idaho Potato Bowl or whatever it is? The winner of that game ends their season right there with a win.
Bryan DriskellHOST
Instead now, you've got to go to the next round and get slaughtered by Indiana or Ohio State or Miami or whoever.
Bryan DriskellHOST
It's not better.
Philly EAUDIENCE

17 MINS LATER
Brandon JosephHOST
So I think that, um, you know, for schools like North Dakota State, they said, "Nobody comes to our games.
Brandon JosephHOST
Nobody wants to be part of winning championships at the FCS level.
Brandon JosephHOST
It's no fun to win anymore." Well, guess what? You lost to UNLV and now you're playing for the Potato Bowl.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
Yeah.
Josh GrahamHOST
So you are rewarded for playing for making a bowl, and if those bowls don't choose to go that path, they're just going to die on a vine.
Josh GrahamHOST
Because with 27 CFP games now going to be played to decide a champion, looking at 12 in the first round, 8 in the next round, 4 in the round after that, 2 in the semifinals, and then one national championship game, yeah, there just isn't room or appeal for the Idaho Potato Bowl, with all due respect.
