Your regular season games are already scheduled and not a reward for a lackluster season. To send a .500 team to a bowl game as a reward just seems to take away from the point, why not a toilet bowl for the 2 worst teams too? Imagine the swag they could hand out to players for that, Drano could be the sponsor, I think we're onto something here.

Then screw keeping score, just let everyone play as many games as they want and hand out participation trophies to everyone. Lose in the playoffs? Don't worry, you can try again next week!
Play good football and get rewarded with a bowl game or playoff berth. Go 6-6 and get back to the weight room and practice field and try again next year.

Looks like Northwestern will be the western BIG playoff team unless some highly unlikely things happen.
On a sad note, the Indiana QB is out for the season with the same knee injury that he had earlier in his career.

I don't disagree, I've made the unpopular statement that D2 bowl games are a waste as only those who did not do enough to make the playoffs are invited. Of course saying such a thing causes feelings to be hurt.
That being said, I don't want to see D2 Bowl Games expand to the point where sub-.500 teams are given a chance to play. It's fine where it is. Also, I'd rather it be done this way than expanding the bracket to let those teams in. It increases the injury risk for the better teams and would cheapen the bracket, IMO.
Just putting my opinion out there for the sake of discussion - not meant to be anything more than that.

IMO this is why D2 and FCS FB have much more to offer than FBS. '19 D2 bracket featured 28 teams including 9-undefeated, 10-one loss and seven-two loss teams. The ARGOS of UWF won their final three games by an average of 6 points while eliminating three undefeateds. That is the exact opposite of watered down and why it deserves much more attention than it gets. So looking forward, fingers crossed, to the '21 season.

I have traveled with Air Force to the Oahu Bowl and other bowl games they've been invited to and seen and been treated to the perks associated with them, just think those perks should be earned rather than given out to teams that might barely be better than .500
Certainly glad for the teams that get that experience it just has gotten so watered down.

I get that perspective, but D1 bowl games offer a few more legit perks. First, both teams get to practice more and even play that one extra game. Then, there actually are some fun times at the host site. I've crossed paths with a few of the participants of Detroit's Quick Lane Change bowl. Every one of them loved the experience. And as even one more bonus, the players get some goodies. So, if the sponsors are willing to dole out the bucks, I'm ok with letting the games go on.

Hopefully several bowl games are canceled permanently. There are way too many.

It's like a bowl game in D2 even though there is already a playoff system for teams deserving. Might as well just send everyone to a bowl game at this point. No one knows how to lose anymore it seems and mediocrity is rewarded.
