Formatting bowl game templates

Several comments regarding reversion of changes to the Florida Gators bowl template:

1. Extensive underlining in block of text is hideous and is contrary to basic rules of good typography, layout and design, and should be reserved for section headers and the occasional overwhelming important word in text.

2. Vertical listing of bowl games within the edit box viewer makes them easier to read, and IS consistent with the way most other CFB navboxes are arranged in the edit box viewer.

3. Piped categories for alphabetization within the University of Florida WikiProject is of no concern to anyone other the project members. Navboxes templates within Wikiproject UF's scope have been sorted so that we can find them in one location--why would anyone else care?

A discussion was started on the WP:CFB talk page some time ago regarding the formatting of college team bowl game templates some time ago, including a discussion of the various alternatives available to the use of underlining to denote national champuionship games. Before you revert any further changes to the Florida Gators bowl game navbox, may I suggest that we submit this matter to the WP:CFB talk page so that a consensus of all active CFB editors may be determined?
