I don't know why they always seem to schedule a basic Nothing Bowl after the New Year's Day bowls because the teams involved are always much weaker than the NY6 teams. It's like taking a big step backwards. The Texas Bowl is, AT BEST, an in between Christmas and New Year's Bowl game. Even having it on New Year's Eve is pushing it. And yet, it was on last night, days after New Year's. What's the point of having it then? Sure, it's a tier above the pre Christmas bowl games, but that's not saying much at all. It is not an upper tier bowl by any means, and it's one that definitely should be over and done with by December 31. There are too many bowls for sure. But, if they are going to have tons of them like they do now, then at least get the lower tiers out of the way well before the playoffs. One year only, I think it was 2017, they seemed to do it right. The final 3 games of the season were the 2 semifinals, (Bama-Clemson Sugar and Georgia-Oklahoma Rose) and then the big one. That was the one year where the placement of everything felt right. Most years, the postseason scheduling is weird and all over the place.
