It doesn't happen because of the chance to win the natty.  Only fringe roster guys will transfer when the portal window opens but it’s like players that aren't playing anyways.  CFP disincentivized the Bowl games, no matter how you rotate them into the playoff format if they aren't a playoff game they are virtually worthless. Players will opt out/transfer etc etc and not think twice about it.

Yeah there’s more to it, we’re talking about first round picks.

It's because they're Georgia and Alabama. SEC has fug all to do with it. The rest of the SEC just rides their coattails to claim superiority by proxy.

The SEC has to play those guys and the games are much more competitive at the end of the day. They at least belong in the same conference as those 2 powerhouses.

Outside of the conference elite the rest of the SEC is just run of the mill P5 football teams. 

I don't buy their argument of "We get our asses kicked by those guys every year and that makes us better than you by association! We've lost to Alabama for 17 straight years so take that!" GTFO. They don't fair much better in our of conference play against other P5 competition. They're just not that good.

Yeah because Stetson Bennett is a future HOFer

Doesn't matter what he is in the NFL. He was a damn good college QB. Travis from FSU doesn't project well to the NFL either but he was a damn good college QB too. Not every good college player projects well to the NFL. It doesn't make them any less of a college player.

Regular season matchup are far more relevant than non-playoff bowl game matchups with the opt-outs. It is what it is. The bowls are dead.

I've watch 0 bowl games outside of the playoffs for probably the last 5 years. Fans don't go to them either. Wasn't the mayo bowl mostly empty when unc got boat raced?

Yup it's a season long race to the CFP.. Once your team is on the outside looking in it's time to prepare for your future. If you are draft eligible, come along for the gifts and media time and ride the pine and leave your draft stock and health intact.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
