4. Charmin Ultra Soft Bowl

The word “soft” in a bowl game title is obviously the worst potential adjective to use. Sure, it’s the name of a popular toilet paper brand, but could you imagine being a player who is partaking in the Charmin Ultra Soft Bowl? That can’t feel good to be named the Ultra Soft champs.

No, it’s not a real bowl game, and we can thank Charmin for that. Luckily, like Apple and Starbucks, Charmin doesn’t necessarily need name recognition in front of a bowl to generate business. People are always going to need toilet paper and Charmin is likely the most well-known of all.

Still, this might be one of the worst hypothetical bowl names I could think of, and that’s why it’s here. Winning the Ultra Soft Bowl sounds more like an embarrassment than a positive and the two teams would easily have to be bottom-feeders in their respective conference.

This could be a punishment for a couple of 6-6 teams in Power Five conferences that barely snuck into bowl contention. There are soft teams each year in college football and this bowl game could punish those that don’t necessarily deserve a postseason game but got one anyway. The gift package would just be a package of toilet paper rolls. Ultra-soft ones, of course.
