Yeah, it sucks to not make the playoffs. There are some players that opt out and of course transfer before the game.
It feels like there were fewer big teams that had players sit and these games have been pretty good.
I respect Vandy for finishing their season strong and keeping the team together. That's going to bode well to find their way in the SEC. They were really good in the 2nd half.
We were really good today and the offense did a great job. Proud of the Hawks.
Here's my argument on why post season bowl games should matter beyond pride to play for your school, signed contracts to play, being a part of a team, and you have a chance to play an equal caliber team to put stuff on film.
With the playoffs we are getting closer to the NFL. Both leagues invite 12 teams in the playoffs.
For the NFL, that equals 43.75% of the teams. Nearly half.
For the NCAA, that is only 8.8% of teams.
While it's true that only those 12 can win the title, I think we need to stop that the other games don't matter. Just over 50% make bowl games but obviously not all are equal.
If you take the top 23 bowl games, which I am being pretty liberal with, and including the playoffs, that means that only 42% of teams make those games which is still better than the NFL.
I just wish we (media and fans) would give a little more credit to these games.
