Push To Create ‘Irrelevant Bowl’ Between Worst Teams In College Football Faces Uphill Battle

I think most college football fans would agree there are already too many bowl games, but it’s also hard not to be intrigued by the idea of a showdown featuring two of the worst teams in the country—a hypothetical game a hopeful promoter wants to dub the “Irrelevant Bowl.”

If you’re a football fan, you’re probably familiar with “Mr. Irrelevant,” which is the label that’s traditionally been bestowed upon the last player selected in the NFL Draft each year (and one that Brock Purdy has done his best to shun since he earned that particular distinction in 2022).

That moniker is the inspiration for the “Irrelevant Bowl,” a proposed venture dreamed up by California-based promoter Roy Englebrecht, who is hoping to branch out into the world of college football after primarily focusing on boxing and MMA.

The most recent slate of bowl games boasted a grand total of 43 contests, with the vast majority of them featuring teams that had racked up at least six wins over the course of the regular season. There were plenty of lackluster matchups that would only appeal to the most twisted College Football Sicko, but they have nothing on what the Irrelevant Bowl would offer.

The concept is pretty straightforward: at the end of the season, the two programs who’ve earned the distinction of the worst teams in college football would get the chance to face off in the Irrelevant Bowl for one final shot at redemption (if it had been held this year, it would have featured 2-10 Vanderbilt facing off against 1-11 Akron).

If you’re wondering why teams would willingly debase themselves for our amusement, the website for the proposed game states the bowl would provide “six-figure payouts to two teams, along with team travel, team loading lodging, and team meals” (the costs would be subsidized by a host city who would bid for the rights to the game in exchange for the revenue it generates).

While it’s certainly an entertaining concept, it’s hard to imagine it would ever come to fruition, and Action Network‘s Brett McMurphy spoke with multiple sources who claim the Irrelevant Bowl is essentially dead on arrival.

A man can still dream.
