There are 42 bowl games because our television overlords know one immutable truth: we’re going to watch. Doesn’t matter who plays or doesn’t play. Doesn’t matter who coaches or doesn’t coach. Doesn’t matter how much 6–6 debris litters the landscape. (Not to mention one special 5–7 bunch of Minnesota Gophers.)
