The bowl games are the climax to the college football season. Begun with the Rose Bowl (Pasadena), dating back to 1902, many bowl games were created by boosters in Southern cities wishing to attract tourists and investors. Once television networks began to purchase the rights to games for millions of dollars, they became very lucrative for the colleges represented. Each bowl committee (sugar, orange, sun, cotton, etc.) invites two teams to play according to their college conference records. Many sports analysts consider this an inadequate season finale as seldom do the two best teams have a showdown. The frequent cases of competing claims to the national championship have increased the clamor for a tournament, as in college basketball, that would produce a final four and an undisputed champion.
