Carter on the Bucs plz @brock @plantcity3

Him or javonte Williams to form a duo with Ronald jones(the Bucs best back by far imo). I dont Have a problem with Ronald jones at all it’s just that none of the Bucs rb’s can catch whatsoever.

I have to believe that INDIVIDUAL underclassmen bowl game opt-out/opt-in decisions are a kind of proxy for early NFL draft entry, and vice versa.

I'm not saying that an underclassman who plays in a bowl game will NOT go to the NFL early, just that if a decision HAS been reached to enter the NFL draft, there is zero reason to play in a non-Final-Four bowl game. A bunch of schools have opted out, several games have been cancelled, there are no other "all-star game" ramifications, etc.

So if an underclassman DOES play, and unless he plays the bowl game of a lifetime, I think it would be a safe bet to project those who play as ones who are "coming back for 2021".

the playoff led to it. the bowls are basically worthless out of the final 4.

if anything i hope it puts things in perspective, these guys want to play in the league it's really nothing personal about the team in most cases, they want to put themselves in the best position to earn the most money ... god bless any young man for doing that

I've said this for a long time.

Need to go to an 8-game playoff. Then, maybe someday, a Sweet 16. Bowl games will die soon enough.

 

[TheEye]

Too bad their offense didn’t opt out of our game.

 

[chris2183l]

Wish UNC RBs had opted out of the Miami game lol

Said this yesterday, the bowl format is outdated and needs to die. There is literally no benefit for a kid who's going to enter the draft unless they're projected as a late-round pick at best and think showing out in the Depends Bowl will improve their draft stock. Otherwise the risk of getting injured in a meaningless bowl far outweighs any potential benefit.

16 is the magic number IMO. P5 conference champs and G5 conference champs get automatic bids so long as they meet some predetermined ranking criteria, just to prevent a 7-win Sun Belt champ from getting in over a 10-win P5 team who didn't win their conference.

15 games and each of them is an elimination game. They would mean something, people would watch and it would be a freakin cash-cow. You may still have some opt-outs, but when a chance to win a natty is on the line I think most kids play.

There is no big game bowls anymore bro unless it’s the CFP. That’s college football now, unlike the old days with conference aligned bowls and voting for the national champion which brought in conference pride even if you weren’t playing for the national championship. I know we all used to bltch about not having a playoff back then but I actually kind of miss those days. Back Then bowls meant more and the way CFB declared a national champion made it unique in all of sports.

people don’t care anymore unless it’s a playoff game. Might as well expand to 16 team playoff cause the rest of the bowls no longer matter

Its why the playoff format, in its current incarnation, kind of sucks. All of these bowl games are worthless and pointless, especially for players who are going to the league. You're playing for nothing as an individual.

 

[kendallcanes]

All our starters should opt out. Play the young ones and let them get the experience. This game is pointless, and as this year has shown, so is buying in to the college football current system.

 

[CANEMC]

Gathered enough highlights against us.

College football is minor league NFL. Very little passion outside of personal gain.
