Just waiting for a 3-6 SEC team to go to a bowl game under the new rule.

If there are enough bowl games, ANY team could go to a bowl game under the new rule. More big-brand teams, even if not very good (think Tennessee, Nebraska, Texas, FSU...), mean more TV eyeballs.

There is a steeply diminishing return here.  FIU vs Arkansas St in the Camellia Bowl attracted 600,000 eyeballs last year.  Not sure that a game featuring two losing teams (even "name brand" ones) would get a whole lot more.  At some point, people get "bowled out"
