The Opt Outs have lowered my interests in the Bowl Games outside the CFP.

It seems you just can't base things on the regular season and whose actually playing who. Has the SEC won any? Seems The SEC is getting the schit kicked outta of them.

But it also seems we have an advantage over IL regarding Bowl Rosters.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Maybe the SEC is just over rated this year? Maybe there is more parity now?

 

[PBRME]

if you didn’t watch the Pitt UCLA, or not currently watching ND Cocks, then you’re missing out.

The Irish Cock Game is awesome. I actually thought SC wuz gonna handle them rather easily but I was wrong. Great Game.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Yeah I think we are seeing with Covid and recruiting SEC just not as strong top to bottom. Notre Dame is top half SEC level team most years. Just not top tier. So they got talent to make this a hard game.

Mizzou was just okay this year
Ole miss was over rated all year
Arkansas was up and down but mostly over rated.
Florida was not good this year.

I said "Irish Cock".... heh heh heh.... heh heh heh.

Has the SEC won any?

Arky won in a 3 OT game. If you can't enjoy watching OT games I don't know what to tell you. Maybe watch some Lifetime Network. Deadly Yoga Retreat is on at 7:00

I mean... outside of Mississippi State, would you know the difference if somebody didn’t point all of them out to you?

Didn't imply watching the games weren't enjoyable it's just you can't asess conference strength like before.

I just get bits and pieces and remember our disaster last year. All kinds of things I see regularly about opt outs.

We knew Ole Miss sucked before they played their bowl game

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Assessing conference strength is way down the list of priorities and it was that way even before opt outs. Other than playoff games, bowl games are just exhibitions so it’s a total guess what teams show up.

Most people realized this in 2014

playoff changed everything

Would I even care? No.

Many Players don't play for pride any more

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Totally agree. But not denying reality. I understand it.

 

[LordMcBuckethead]

Because a meaningless exhibition game isn’t worth the risk, unless you are trying to make a name for yourself.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

all games are meaningless exhibition games for 95 percent of the players and teams. Most won't go pro and most won ever win a championship or make the playoff. The more players realize this the better off they will be. But few play for pride and love of the game anymore. Too much $$$$ involved

17 That.

cool starry, bra

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

My suggestion is then just don’t watch.
The quality of the bowl games are inexorabalanty terrible and non competitive so it’s a good thing you haven’t had interest or watched.

 

[RiverCityDawg]

It's literally not a meaningless exhibition game though. The W or L goes on the official record, the stats count towards the season totals, and the fans get pissed as hell when the team loses. All pretty much the same as any other non-rivalry game for teams not in Playoff contention.

 

[Ranchdawg]

We knew Ole Miss sucked before they played their bowl game

And they said their entire team made the trip. I'm assuming players have figured out they can get bonus pay to show up for Bowl games.

I still enjoy watching but when I read things like "KY's QB opting out" it just makes the games less meaningul IMO.

[The Peeper]

If we aren't playing in it and it's not a playoff game I have no interest anymore. The number of empty seats at the games says the same thing. I grew up watching every one of them but the sheer number of bowls and .500 or worse teams playing makes them meaningless to players and many fans

Sucks to be you. From the J State game to the Gator Bowl there have been some incredible games. Today’s suck so far but it have been an incredible bowl season so far.

Doesn't suck to be me as I always enjoy watching the games.

Apologies. I read that you weren’t watching them. Carry on and Happy New Year
