Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Every year teams around the nation set out into their season with a goal of winning their conference and heading to a bowl game. The problem with today is that with all of the bowl games available to teams, is it really a reward to go to a bowl game anymore?
While it may not have been what everyone was hoping for, the new four team playoff will at least bring some excitement back to the postseason and give college football fans something to look forward to.
As teams begin the 2012 season, some teams will start to realize that they simply do not have what it takes to make it to a bowl game this year. Despite the amount of games available, here are 35 BCS programs that will still fall short and be at home watching bowl games instead of participating in them.
Baylor
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images With one of the most electric players in football, Baylor had a 10-3 record. Now that Robert Griffin III is gone, the Bears will truly be tested.
Along with losing Griffin, the Big 12 adds TCU and West Virginia which will only make life more difficult on Baylor.
Colorado
Christian Petersen/Getty Images Things went bad for Colorado in their first year in the Pac-12. The Buffaloes went 3-10 last year and ranked No. 109 in the nation for points scored and points against. This year, one of those needs to change to have more success, but unfortunately for Colorado fans, they are in for more of the same.
Kansas
Jamie Squire/Getty Images Kansas simply had the worst defense in the land last year. In the offseason, they addressed their coaching vacancy by bringing in Charlie Weis. While Weis may help the offense, the Jayhawks may slip from last years 2-10 record down to one win in 2012.
Miami
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images Miami is going to hope that the defense can get the job done this year. During the offseason, Miami had some of their starters on offense graduate and leave sizable holes.
If the defense can hold up, the Hurricanes have a shot at a bowl game but with the offense likely taking a small step back, Miami could miss out on a bowl game again.
Missouri

Missouri is moving to the SEC this year and they are in for a rude awakening. The Tigers have a good team that was competitive in the Big 12 but they will need a few seasons to adjust to their new conference and change the type of athlete they recruit.
