Bowl Mania!

Vast majority of bowl games have been ruined by the portal and early declarations for the draft where the player decides not to risk injury. Very few teams are the same ones that ended the season together. I no longer waste time watching meaningless moneymakers. Maybe next year when there is a better playoff system in place it may be worth it.

I saw an interview with Chip Kelly. While I'm not a fan of the guy, he had some great ideas to fix CFB. 

At it's present state, it's ruined for sure.

Texas A&M plays #20 Ok. St. tonight with only 55 of their 85 schollie players, primarily due to the portal and declaring for the draft. Why they are favored over a ranked team by 3 is beyond me. They cannot field the massive substitutions they were able to do with their D line, which is what kept them competitive in the SEC. Also only one starting DB.

Yeah, I saw that & changed my Bowl Mania pick to the Cowpokes.

CFB never was perfect. Between polls, scheduling, & perceptions it was difficult to identify the best teams.

In an effort to "fix" it it's truly damaged. 

Can't wait for USC @ Rutgers. I guess it's better than Alabama vs The Citadel.

Funniest thing was they started the non-scholarship 12th man who is on the kickoff team as one of the two starting safeties for the entire game. Amazing to me they kept it down to 31 points with only 7 of those in the 2nd half.

I'd be a lot more interested in Bowl season if opting out wasn't an option..

And that includes opting out just because you want to go into the portal, not just into the draft. The portal opening should be AFTER all bowl games are complete and not before.

Fuck Marvin Harrison Jr. for quitting on his team today... I hope he busts in the NFL... I knew there was something off about this kid.... He's a pussy!... He'll never be anything like his father...

Ryan Day opted out tonight. How many 8/9 fronts are you going to run into ALL night 

They may as well can Day and get Luke Fickell back here... But that said.. Both McCord and Harrison are big time pussies... Karma will come back and bite them.. Watch...
