Thanks to Nick Saban, Alabama football fans have a different perspective on bowl games than fans of most other schools. Many other schools worry about qualifying for a bowl game. Even most Power Five teams worry about making a top-tier bowl game. Only a few programs are like Alabama football with a legitimate annual chance to make the CFB Playoff.
There are so many bowl games, it is no longer such a high achievement in making one of them. There will be 39 bowl games in 2018-19, more than double the number from 25 years ago. And even more are planned according to a recent tweet.
